With an automatic I would load up the converter to 2000k or so, and release the brake when the second yellow pops. Then EASE into the accelerator pedal. It's easier said than done, takes lots and lots of practice.Toms_2003_Stang said:2 weeks ago she was running pretty strong with trap speeds in the 76 to 78mph range and times btw 9.3 and 9.5 (all 1/8 mile passes). Tonite she was bogging down BIG TIME, it felt like I had the AC on (which I didnt). I was powerbrakeing to about 1500 rpm and flooring it on launch, once it got past 1st gear it got better but not much, the car has 27000 miles so should I do some basic maintenance (fuel filter and PCV valve) before going any further?
probably a 14.2 to 14.4 - you are giving up alot with those 60 foot times.89gtVert said:what would a 9.5 at 76 mph be in the quarter? Thats what i run also. 2.26 60'

So....let me ask the obvious. Did you remember to turn off the traction control?Toms_2003_Stang said:2 weeks ago she was running pretty strong with trap speeds in the 76 to 78mph range and times btw 9.3 and 9.5 (all 1/8 mile passes).

Your rear tires will hate you.Toms_2003_Stang said:In the future I plan on getting a KB blower so would 4.10's be overkill?
