I may be going to the track with the 97 GT in a few weeks. Previously, I could run consisten 14.4's at 96mph on all season tires and the only modification was an offroad H pipe. I squeeked out a 14.2 and a 14.3 with lots of practice and the weather was pretty good as I recall. The 60's were 2.1-2.2.
The only changes since then are underdrive pulleys (piggy back) and a drop in K&N... so I'm guessing an extra 2hp.
So let's go bench racing. Can I pull off a 13 second run? I think it would be possible if everything is working perfectly. I'll have to launch the nuts off the car, power shift every gear and hope for cool weather with high pressure. What's your guess? I'm guessing 14.05 at 97mph.
Ohhh, last thing... any suggestion where to shift? Bone stock, I always shifted at 5k on the nose, for every gear, but now it pulls a little better up top. It is definately happier to rev to 5500 now, but I'm just not sure if it is worth running it out that high or not.
