Build question/timeslips question

Hello Jeff

You COULD go 12's with less than 300 rwhp

The thing about using 1/4 mile stats to measure performance is ........

Driver skill has so VERY much to do with the outcome :Word:

Also ... Setup on the car ... NOT MOTOR ... makes a bunch of diff as well

To go the quickest on the least amount of hp ...........
You just gotta produce a good 60 foot

Using a very sticky tire such as slicks or dr's is one of the main things
when talking about obtaining a low et

With minimum mods or minimum cash outlay a stick trans will give you
more of a fighting chance to reach your goal

No ... I've not taken my Stang to the track

Look at some of Paul's old posts to see ....
how he did it with less than 300 to the wheels

Appreciate the response, Grady. I agree 100% about the 60' times being of such importance. Luckily, my first time at the track, by the end of the day on street tires I was able to pull 1.8-1.9 short times repeatedly. That's just street tires, and a bone stock 5.0. I think I'm just not going to worry about what I'll run, honestly. Build my motor to where I'm happy with it, make it a reliable DD, then work out the suspension kinks and run it down the strip when all's said and done.

This is a good plan, IMO. There will always be someone with more money and more power. My car does pretty well for itself, I think, those numbers were with shorties, and ~265 hp. Drive the wheels off it and you can make most anything quick or fast. lol

You said you've taken your car to the track already, post full times, that's a great tool for people to work with.
