1991 Mustang LX
Ben Frazier
* HP STAGE
III As you can tell from the above list, Ben has a seriously modified car here.....it started life as a bone-stock daily driver.
Ben's car as a daily driver......pre-modifications Over several years and lots of work, it has evolved into the car you see here and the evolution continues. The car has been featured in a recent issue of 5.0 Magazine and turns heads wherever Ben takes it. Ben sent us the following comments on his first drives with the HP turbo kit installed: "I took the car out for some TnT with the turbo the weekend before FFW/Ennis and figured I would do an 1/8th mile run first, then if everything felt good I was going to make the next pass a full 1/4 mile run. On the first pass I decided to launch off of the transbrake. I brought the car up on the brake and once I let go of the button the drivetrain let go too taking out a u-joint, driveshaft, and transmission tailshaft housing. I have NEVER broken anything on the car at the track before and was kind of happy when I did as I knew my day would come sooner or later. It also meant that the car was now making some REALLY good power with the turbo."
"I
thrashed on the car (along with the help of some friends) to repair/replace
everything for FFW which was only a week away. We got to Ennis just in time for
a couple of test passes on Friday before they started qualifying. Since I was
scared of blowing up the drivetrain again, the day before the race, I decided to
just roll the car off of idle from the line. Doing so resulted in a pass of
10.50 @ 133. That right there was my best MPH ever and the car was 200# heavier
and in 30°
hotter air than what my previous best MPH was in. My previous best was a 6.55 @
105 in the 1/8 and 10.32 @ 130 in the 1/4 at 3600#, in cool November air. All
of this was in 3800# street trim with small 26" ET Streets on the back of the
car. I made another pass the same way and backed it up while getting my best
1/8 mile MPH ever of 107. The car used to run consistent 102mph in the 1/8 at
3800# and this just blew it away. Over the event I ran into some gremlins, none
of it turbo kit related. While on another pass at the event I got brave enough
to foot brake the car off of the line and got my best run ever. 6.52 @ 107 in
the 1/8 and 10.18 @133 in the 1/4. That was my best ET and MPH that the car has
ever run and I did it with only 13# of boost, on pump gas, at 3800#, on 26" ET
Streets! The car is only legal to run 11.0 and I'm lucky I didn't get kicked
off of the track with that ET. Also, the only reason the car wasn't running any
more boost than 13# is because I ran out of fuel pump according to my A/F ratio
on Conley's dyno. I have a new, and better, fuel pump to go in the car, but I'm
saving that until I get a certified cage installed in the car making it legal to
go the speeds it is going. I also have that entire 10.18 run on video and will
get it digitized and up on my web site soon. There's EASY 9's in this heavy
street car as I have yet to launch it off of the trans-brake or turn the boost
up, timing up, and run some race gas!"
