Hello. I haven't posted here in quite awhile but I have a 87 gt vert that I've been slowly modding and running tnt in the last 2 seasons. I've got it down to a best of 13.29 @100.22 mph in the 1/4 and my best 1/8 mile pass was 8.33 at 79 mph with a 1.69 60ft..
Previously, it was going 1.68-1.70 60s consistently but the last few trips it was in the mid 1.7s even when it ran the 13.29. That was the 1st time I'd run the 1/4 in awhile due to no roll bar and bc of the e.t. I only got 1 pass. Anyway last Monday I laid into it pretty hard on the street and the Trans slipped on the 1-2 shift. I lifted immediately and it drove the rest of the way to and from work fine. On the way home I hit it again and it held it but it has me worried so I picked up a complete wc t5 swap minus the pedals/quadrant, cable, and I'll need a pilot bearing. I keep hearing from people, non mustang people so...., that it will not be as quick at the track with the t5. I disagree but we shall see. My worry is if it will hold up to the abuse the aod has for the last 4 years. I do maintain the car pretty thoroughly but i have not been easy on it for sure.
