Back from the Track....What Mod Next??

[joshheat25]

I just got back from the track and my best time was 13.8 at 101 with a 60' time of 2.1. I ran this on my street tires with psi at 33. I had the pressure down to 25 and ran 14.0 then put the pressure down to 20 and ran 14.1 a couple of times. So at the end of the night I decided to run with 33psi what I run on the street, and ran the 13.8. I was debating on getting a stall converter but don't know what would be a good stall rpm. also I want to get an aluminum driveshaft now after the 4.10's install because over 80 mph the car starts vibrating!! lol

 

[stangman]

the vibration thing is a U-joint i'd bet. as far as the next n/a mod....cams

 

[derek02gt]

longtubes

 

[Jones331]

That's a yepper on the cams (comp stage 2's)

 

[mat82284]

get some headers. long tubes are good but you already have a x-pipe id just get the bassani headers to match and go with it.

Eibach drag springs, some slicks and a good tranny cooler.

You are correct. That vibration is experienced by some who install 4.10s and is remedied by getting that aluminum ds.

Does anyone know where I can buy the driveshaft cheap and do I have to buy something to adapt the driveshaft to my Auto?? Also about Headers I would like to do that But about installing them I heard it was a ROYAL PITA and that the engine had to be lifted??? is this true?? About the cams how much approximate would they cost??? and the PI Stall How Street driveable is That?

 

[joshheat25]

Also I have eibach springs and How much would a New Tranny cooler help?

 

[mdvaldosta]

I dont see how a tranny cooler is going to make your car faster, but it will keep your transmission safer - especially if you stall it up.

 

[joshheat25]

So If I were to get a higher stall I should Get a Tranny Cooler!!

 

[hotmustang331]

Yes, its needed with stall. The stall creats more heat...cooler, obviously cools it down lol.

 

[timeless2]

More demand = need for more cool fluid. Plus, adding the cooler gives extra fluid capacity for heat sink purposes and also allows for some pressure relief.

 

[joshheat25]

well I guess I will buy the Stall and Cooler at the Same time! If I were to do that! It Seems Headers are a PITA after searching don't know if that is such a good Idea! Either I am paying for it in labor or in Pain and Suffering! LOL.

 

[joshheat25]

So are the Headers a PITA??

 

[Chili]

I believe that if you go with stage 2 cams they require a higher stall and recommend LT's, so unless you're ready to drop a lot of cash at once you probably want to start there. I have also heard the same about the tranny cooler with the converter. So in pieces I would say.. Tranny cooler, stall, headers then cams.

Edit: I would also squeeze in some DR's and maybe LCA's after the stall, maybe even sub frame connectors. I was once advised, don't try to make more power until you are getting everything you've got to the ground.

I would get some sub frames 1st then get a 2800-3000 stall/cooler(b&m) from PI, edge, PA or a few others im sure and you wont be sorry. I have a single disc, but many recommend a tripple disc for 300+rwhp and say it will last longer. I dont know, but mine is ok so far...I bet u could get to a 13.2-3 with one (along with some bfg DR's), maybe a bit better. I would get some upper/lower cntrl arms to plant your rear as well.

 

[MaxedGT]

Myself, I'm going with E/T dragradials, then a high stall convertor. From what I've seen, autos make great gains with slicks and high stall speed. 3000-3200rpm. My best e/t so far, 13.731 @ 100.75 mph, with the mods in my sig. I'm looking foreward to low 13's. If not for emissions testing I'd then add long tubes and off road x-pipe. Next would be cams.

 

[03MGT]

Well you can do what im thinking of doing. Get Flowtech LT`s and matching x-pipe for under 400 bucks and throw them on... Same style as hookers so they will go around the transmition...
