Took the car to the track tonight for the first time .. Best time was a 9.93, ran consistent 10.02's, good or should i say bad for about a 15.48 1/4 mile.. Car Has K&N CAI and Bassani Catted X With Bassani Catback. Car is a 98 GT AUTO. Is this normal times or should i be running slower, quicker? Any1 have times they can post. Thanks

What were your 60ft times? Your 9.83 is consistent with your 15.48, but your car should be running at least 5-7 tenths faster than that in the 1/4 with your mods. The problem is that you're free flow exhaust is hurting the low-end torque output of an engine that doesn't produce much low-end torque to begin with. You need a gear swap really bad to take advantage of your engines new found breathing capability.

I ran a 8.94 a few weeks back and then a 8.96 last night at a brand new track. This equals a 13.86 1/4 for me with a 2.06 60ft.
Biggest mods are 4.10's and no cats + Predator.

It would be more worth your while to install a set of gears.

Your time sounds a little off. Its your exhaust. Get some 3.73 or 4.10 and that should cure that right up.

i work at planet ford and the guy that does gear installs will do them for 150 plus if you need bearings or other stuff. if he has fluid and stuff he wont' charge you for it though. he did mine and they are great. if you want more info just pm me.

Get ford motorsports gears. they are the highest quality that you can get. They are the least likely to whine. I have some off brand in mine and the whine is noticeable but not bad. (I actually orderd ford gears on ebay but they sent some other gears in a ford box. I didn't realize this till we opened the diff back up to double check the backlash cuz it was whining)
