2007 Q Collegiate/Hot Rod U Power Challenge - Kool School Shootout!
Team Houston
Wilson buried the brake pedal and found big-time dive under deceleration. Still, the green machine stopped quicker than any of the other Stangs. Suspension consisted of Lakewood shocks and struts, Wilwood brakes, and Wheel Vintiques wheels with Nitto rubber.
Houston utilized a TFS Track Heat intake atop its 347 Boss engine, and that was good for 441 rwhp, despite having electrical problems on the dyno. Juice was from NOS, and gears were shifted via the Tremec TKO-600 and Zoom clutch.
The interior sported a fabbed dash, Auto Meter gauges, and a Zex nitrous kit.
The Best e.t. on the dragstrip for Houston was 12.47 at 112 mph. Unfortunately, the engine had trouble sustaining an idle and during a restart prior to run number two...
...it had a nitrous backfire, which made a big bang and subsequently blew the intake into a million pieces.
Team Rancho Cucamonga
Perhaps the prettiest car was the SN-95 from the SoCal Orange Crush team from Rancho Cucamonga, California. Its '95 GT featured flawless workmanship and many trick items including the rollcage, computer mounting, and pedals.
Like the Houston Mustang, this one used a TFS intake and made exactly 441.62 hp at the wheels. The engine had a TFS intake, a Summit Racing 75 mm throttle body, a BBK exhaust, and Flowmaster mufflers.
Most MM&FF readers would be proud to call this one their own. To fit both drivers, the seat was moved back and the pedals were also moved to provide better accessibility.
Time through the cones was 6.23 seconds, and 0-60 mph came in 130 feet. The FRPP brake upgrade had the most potential, but a combination of cold track conditions (with broken pavement) and only three attempts didn't allow the binders to get up to temperature. This resulted in rear-brake lockup and longer stopping distances than expected.
