It's been a while, but I finally did run my 6. No SVO healthy enough to play with... This was my first time ever at a track. I'm not going to change my sig so mods are going in this post. More info can be found at my site. www.forced4.dynu.com

2002 V6 Mustang.

T-Lok & 3.73's
Magnaflow Dual Exhaust
Diablo Sports Chip - Ford Chips
245/45 - 17 Cheap as dirt street tires.

Got 5 Runs in for the night at LVD in NY. The significant three are.

First Run - Bogged bad off the line with a 2.5K launch attempt

R/T .722
60FT 2.594
330 7.225
1/8 10.982
MPH 66.12
1000 14.153
1/4 16.932
MPH 76.43

I did not let this get to me.

Very next run was 15.463 @ 86.26

Third Run of the night was the best ET.

R/T .557
60FT 2.283
330 6.480
1/8 9.959
MPH 70.87
1000 12.938
1/4 15.450
MPH 90.20

And the last run of the night was IMO the best run and kind of tells the story about what the car should do if I ever learn to launch.

R/T .534 I'm still REacting to the light when I should be acting on it
60FT 2.447 Doesn't look good
330 6.592
1/8 10.03
MPH 71.53
1000 12.987 Shifting at 6K got me here.
1/4 15.482 Crossed in 3rd! Shifted right on the line and chirped 4th(for the second time)
MPH 90.59

a 1.5 tenth increse in 60 foot time and I miss my best time by .032 That tells me there is a good 15.1 chance in this car even with a 2.2 60 foot.

I ran the crap out of the car on this run, shifting at 5700+ until I hit third where I shifted a 6K. I had run it to about 5500 and almost crossed without shifting (chicked out at 5800) the run before so tried it again. I swore to god I chipred 4th so thought I would check. Sure enough, on the shift to 4th it sqelched.

I was running a white 2001 GT with DR's on this run so was inspired I guess. She posted a 14.43

I'm really going to try to get up there one more time this year with this car. I bought a miniDV Cam Corder so I'll find a way to stick it to the dash and tape the runs in car next time out. That 4th gear chirp is just so odd.

Lebanon Valley Dragway in up state NY - just south of Albany. It's abount an hour trip, but I hope to make it a weekly habbit next year with the SVO 2R.

It's been a long time Linz. Missed you at Carlisle. I was there with my 86 Mustang SVO 2A. Got a bit damp, but it was a good time. Saw some of the yellow's @ Walmart on Sat Morning. Were you among them?
