I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time...

[GreenStangGT]

Actually no I don't.

But if I did, how long would you estimate that 1/4 to take with the mods in my signature? (Including the things that are soon to be added...)

Thanks for the estimates, I'd love to get an idea of what I'll run come springtime.

High 13's at ~100mph with decent traction. Its a very hard guess though being that its an AODE and a 'vert.

ahh the original fast and the furious....a truly timeless classic.

+2......high 13s to low 14s.

Wow, it's really sad that with a 100 shot I still could be in the 14's. That's extremely discouraging.

traction is very important at the track. getting outta the hole as quick as possible, with AODE/vert add wieght and make it a little more tricky to launch. sticky tires and gears would be the best bet, maybe spray right off the line too

I know what you mean.

But, looking at your mods that's all I see.

100hp shot is 1sec from stock which is at best high 14s. That brings you to high 13s.

UD pulleys are worth about 0.1-0.15s.

Full exhaust on a stock h/c/i is maybe 0.15-0.2s.

Gears are debateable(sp?)....on a STOCK engine I say they don't help at the 1/4mile.
Don't get me wrong Gears do make the car more fun to drive and will buy you some mpg around town.
But, if you aren't at peak hp rpm at the finish line they aren't helping much if at all IMHO.

It'll take you too long if you race like they do in the movie....LOL

 

[Killercanary]

Many AODE 'verts are 16 second cars when stock, so keep that in mind. Onebad95 ran a 16.2 in his if memory serves me right, and that was at a decent elevation track. Don't give up though, a little weight loss and addressing the converter/tranny weeknesses like you have done will do wonders!

I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

I've done about as much weight removal as I can (both extra unnesssary weights removed, rear seat delete, replaced leather automatic seats with really light GTS seats, even dumped the exhaust..) I'm not a big guy either, so there's not even anything I can lose from the driver lol.

When I ran the car STOCK in the 1/8th, not having any idea the best way to launch, no weight reduction, and with poor 60' times, I ran a 10.01 at 70-something.

I can tell ya they made a HUGE difference for me. Stock 2.73 to 3.73 and I picked up .5 second, from a typical 14.5 to a 14.0

Nothing else changed but the gears.

Since you've quoted the worst movie line ever this is warning. Next time your banned.

I was trying to get peoples' attention, plus I negated the stupid movie line with the guy!

 

[95Vert]

I didn't take the time to read all the post but I ran a 15.5 @ 95 with just a shift kit, nothing else.

 

[GreenStangGT]

I would love to see 13's, especially mid-13's if possible. If I'm still in the 14's... I don't even know. Selling the car could be an option.

 

[MustangGT95]

I ran a 11.6 1/8th the first and only time I took my old z28 to the track lol. One wheel peel baby. I literally spun the entire way. I saw a video...I smoked the right rear tire for an 1/8th mile. 60 foot was like 2.9...

I was gonna run again but it started raining.

I'm just kidding about the ban but seriously next time your gone. (Dodgeball)
