Agreed with Bob on two counts

1 - Overbore. The engine cylinder walls are just now too thin, transfer much more heat, and the cooling system cannot disperse it with not big amount of air flow.

2 - Heat dissipation - If the cooling system is compromised - old/clogged radiator - it will also continue the upward spiral of heat. Do a quick A-B comparison, buy a cheap radiator from e-bay/RockAuto, and see if it makes a difference.

And, agreed on the gauge - Why not get a cheap mechanical gauge, just toss it in, and see the temps more accurately displayed?

Heat has to be dispersed somehow.

Track expenses are the big ticket item. I can correlate, as I have run, priced, and set up track days. Three days at a major facility is $50 - 75K plus with all the extras. If SAAC was to shrink down to a one-day event at a lesser track, such as NJMP, NOLA, Autobahn, Willow, or other club-style tracks, they could probably do so solo, but it requires a major re-think of the convention. And pricing.

The Bosses like a name track, and Bob did identify on who's coattails we ride. It is felt that we'll attract more going to a famous place.

Me personally, I don't care, as long as the track is fun. Why not just have a one-day track frenzy, and spend another day with the car shows at the host hotel location, and maybe other fun social things? Heck, I've been asking for years at the Jersey Shore, one day at NJMP, car show on the boardwalk the second day, and one day in the Pine Barrens hunting for Jimmy Hoffa or other Soprano's victims......

If memory serves me correct, it was a modified Mustang with a BOSS 351 between the shock towers

Yes, come down Sunday~!

Show time tonight! Pre-Registration finished at a record high. Mother Nature is cooperating so far.

Car show should be one for the books, come on out!

2020 North East Fall Regional Shelby Meet – UPDATE!!!

Time for a BIG update on the event. We have all been bouncing around, trying to make events and car things work during these times, it has been a challenge. Unfortunately, most events have packed up and put off until next year.
NOT US!!!
We have moved parts of the event, changed others, but have been able to actually improve things, and keep us Covid-Compliant to boot. So the show goes on!
•   NEW SUNDAY CAR SHOW LOCATION – We've moved only a few miles from the former site, to just south of Hellertown. We're now at the Silver Creek Athletic Association park. Located at 2943 Route 212 Springtown, PA 18081, 610/346-6840. Take Route 412 South from Rt 78, and head south on 412 through town, and turn left onto Rt 212. The park is a half mile on your left. Look for the signs. Lots of open space, miles of pavilions, bathrooms, fresh cooked food with a good menu, shade, music. They do many car shows there, and this should be a great spot! Bring your friends!
•   For those spending the weekend with us, we will also use the park for Saturday evening cook-out and movie! Directions and information will be in your entry packet.
•   Friday evening check in (with cheese steaks again), and Saturday breakfast are still at the Hotel
•   We have released the un-taken rooms in our reserved block, but many are still available. Please reserve now.
•   To keep compliant, all attendees and guests will be given a special SHELBY face mask. Please wear when required and keep handy over the weekend.
•   Our Charity this year is the SANCUARY AT HAAFSVILLE, and they will be at the show. Please help us support them.
•   Please watch the event Facebook page on the LVPASAAC Page - https://www.facebook.com/events/2752760054744654?active_tab=about
•   Registration is still open – Sign up!!!!

Contact the 69-70 Registrar with that number

I run the FITECH on my small block. Same concept, very happy with the drivability and performance, easy to hide.

I went for the return line to the tank, so the fuel pump stays constant. Yes, an extra line, but after trying both thier surge tank set-up, and a single line, I found the system worked best with the return line. Use the 255 lph pump.

Many companies make gas tank adapters with pumps for the Mustangs.

Also remember under the hood you'll have alot of extra wires, so route carefully, add extra GOOD grounds.
