hello everyone, I just bought a 2003 gt auto. I'm planning on going to the 1/8 mile track. my car is basically stock save for a k&n filter. What times should I expect? And what mods should be the best to get the car in the mid 13's?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No, you will definitely be in the high 14s in a quarter.

 

[Cantslowdown]

Gears 3.73s are 4.10s and a tunner..Pull the spare tire as well take some wight off..Cat back and if you have no emisons laws a off road mid pipe..

Mid 13's...4:10's, 3k+stall/tires, x pipe/c-back should do it along with good weather.

I would recommend nothing less than a 3500 RPM Stall TC and 4.30's out back. You won't notice much of a gas mileage drop and your car will run in the 13's.

4.10's and everything else in my sig will get you in the 13.8's or mid 13's with DR's


take an important note do a tranny cooler on your car before anything else you'll be doing your trans a favor

Gost I thought u ran a 13.8 with ur 3.73s..

i did and i ran around the same thing with the 4.10's wheel spin is a bit worse with them

 

[Cantslowdown]

I was just checking..J-mod is another sweet mod..

 

[GodAmGT00]

I'm in the wagon that says if you don't have much experience racing, you'll probably hit some low to mid 15's. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but that just seems to be a common thing.. Especially on Street tires..

I think you can expect mid 14's in a stock auto if your track is at sea level and the weather is good..

low-mid 15's in a stock auto??? they don't make enough power to spin that badly even if he sucks at driving. in a stick shift I can see a track newb going mid 15 because you can F-up the launch and each upshift badly.

as far as what mods to do

1. trans cooler 2. 4.10's 3. cat back and off road x 4. 3500+ stall converter and j-mod..

ohh and plan on some slicks and you may want to go to 31 spilne axles and carrier.

See, I've seen a mixed bag. I just don't think, on Street tires, and a STOCK Auto doing anything but mid 14's+ w/ a good driver.. Regardless of the fact that they won't necessarily spin a lot, think of the launch RPM, around what, 1400?? That's weak, especially since a stock auto doesn't even start making power until after 3k, plus the shift lag.. That doesn't even include this scorching heat wave we're seeing now..

I know I'm making excuses, but I'm a skeptic. If he does hit low 14's, high 13's, then he's off to a great start..

in the 1/4mi, the 99-04 autos can hit low 14's without a problem. with the good launch, you can expect a 14.2-14.4. 14.0 is possible if the weather is good. this is all assuming you don't live in hte desert, or a high altitude.

 

[donsbad68]

high 9's in the eigth mile

Yeah I would not run in the 99+ weather we are having now. sure you can correct your times, but I never use corrected times for bragging rights.

 

[blackstanger95]

thanks everyone you are all very helpful. I'm going to the track this weekend. Im new to the mod mustang but not to drag racing. So hopefully I'll get a good run.

 

[MaxedGT]

I ran 14.3 in my bone stock 01 GT auto. My sig has my progression in it just for questions like this. My best runs in the sig are during good conditions not far above sea level.

Here are my mods:

K&N FIPK
BBK 75mm TB & Plenum
BBK U/D Pullies
BBK o/r X pipe
FRPP 4.10s
XCal 2 Generic 91 Octane Tune
Stock Tires
Full weight plus car cover in the trunk

Launching at 1500rpm i hit that 13.69 with little to no wheel spin at first on a cool night.

I really wanna upgrade my axels so i can slap on some better tires and maybe get a better x pipe (bbk was bought used for 65 bucks)

i hit a 13.8 last time but the weather didnt help much and i had some wheel spin

My times are in my sig...as an addendum, I have stock gears, and I was running on all-season tires. With a bone-stock car, you can expect mid to low 14s if you can hook.
