Worked with HP Tuners scanner and editor. Down loaded file to send to ZZP for reprogramming 60# injectors, 2.8 pulley.
Received parts and program, installed.
Lowered front end to make lower control arms level, realigned,rescaled. Researched what tire pressures to start with settled on 18psi front,22psi rear.
Bought a car cover for a Triumph GT 6 to cover the car at work.

I like the car cover idea, but if I used one down here in OK it would blow all the way up to you. How are you going to handle the wind with it?

It fits tight around the tires as it is made for a car 60" wide my Goblin is 68". It does have a strap for under car left to right. All that said time will tell.

Worked on mounting heat exchanger, it is adjustable for angle.

Brad, did you use a front heat exchanger along with your rear one since you are using dual bypass? Also, are you still installing the rear wing / spoiler with your heat exchanger being back there?

Thanks,
Jeff

I returned the heat exchanger from DF. The one I an using is from frozenboost the core is 24x7x2 says it is for 650hp.
My plans do not include running a rear wing. My plan is to run side skirt on the bottom of the car and make a rear defusser. This will create down force by making a vacuum under the car at speed. You can se a picture of my heat exchanger somewhere in my build log.

Do you use the anti-sway bar on the rear? Lonny does not, he told me that the anti sway bar make the rear loose. I put mine anti-sway bar on to keep mine loose.

I will not use a rear sway bar as that is where the drive wheels are. I always put the sway bar on the non drive end to keep the wheels with power planted. Mine does not show rear being loose in the rear until pushed to the limit.

I thought that a front sway bar would also be needed and looked for an example on Formula Fords and couldn't find one. Every FF I saw had only a rear bar. It'll be interesting to see what will be the optimum setup for a Goblin.

Zero camber seems to help keep the rear from braking loose but then when it does, it's usually violent. A negative caster helps to give more of a progression where it may start to loosen but doesn't get out of control; a more predictable slide. At least that's what I have experience with the RC cars.

Still wait in for my title Tobe processed. I want to drive it as designed before make any changes that are planned. Keep collecting more parts for testing.

How long has it been? I called after two weeks and they said it was entered that day. I got it a week later (Saturday). I was able to apply for plates before I had the title in hand, just as long as it's processed.

Called Jeff City, title not processed, asked some questions found out form 594 had not been received. Form 594 is the one the Highway Patrol sign and sends to licences office after installing vin number. Called Highway Patrol they said they would look into it. Jeff City called 10min after talking to Highway Patrol and said paper work just arrived. Title should process with in a week.

Hey brad I’m working on a balance shaft delete and was wondering where you got those caps on the front? I found the bushings to press into the oil passages but the only thing I could find for the front end still had the sprocket for the chain. I want to get rid of that balance shaft chain and run the shorter one like you did.
