Welcome.


As best as I quickly can:

  • Bill Jenkins offers discounts for being a CEG member.
    so does Steve at Tousley ford (30-60% off)
    both numbers can be found under Duratec maintenance, in the FAQ at the top.
  • Bone stock, look for a GREAT time to be 15.2ish Get your 60' time to 2.1x or so (the hard part)
    Check out the Dyno&Drag forum for more info)
  • I don't CARE how bad you want to win.. unless you bet enough money to pay for a new tranny.. DON'T DUMP THE CLUTCH at that rpm. Again, check the dyno&drag forum for recommendations on launching. Look in to installing an LSD, unless you want MAJOR repair problems once your differential is GONE (wheelhop kills it.. and it doesn't take aggressive driving for hop to occur... wet roads can do it...)
  • look at your local regional forum, towards the bottom, to find local OH members.
  • Welcome to CEG
  • Use 5W30 Oil, at 6-6.5 qts, regardless of the owners manual
  • Avoid SHARP, or LONG(or both) right hand turns at any upper rpm.. think "clover leaf on ramp" FAILED ENGINE can result.. see my oil level statement above to HELP protect it
  • Search, read all stickies at the top of each forum that applies to you (transaxle, troubleshootin, mods, maintenance, etc)


Wow.. guys, I think I trimmed 4 minutes off the usual schpiel that everyone gets.


Anyway;

Welcome.
