First Night At The Track With Vortech! VERY PLEASED!

[Drew1287]

I went to the track tonight with the vortech pushing between 5-7psi, All I have other than that is a Steeda Triax and a O/R Hpipe, but I have the stock catback....go figure... I ran 14.40 in my 97 5speed with just those mods, Tonight I went run and pulled fairly consistant 13.50s which is a full second better!! I have been running around 7 for a while and I have the 11-14 pulley sitting behind me, I cant wait to see what she does!

congrats on the new times
just be sure to get a good tune when you install the new pully

WOW if your goin to run 14psi i hope you have a built short block. Nice runs though. =)

exactly!

No built shortblock. I plan on running it till it blows then upgrading from there, we will see what she can handle. If the 3.33 pulley puts out less than 11 I am going to like a 2.92 one. I wanna see 12s with a mostly stock car.

Congrats on the new times. Have fun testing the limits of your motor.

That kinda sucks that you can only get a 13.5 with a supercharger. Those non-PI heads must be killing you. Alot of N/A 99+ stangs are seeing those times with just bolt-ons.

ROFL, it take long... don't worry. I've heard of a few people blowing their stock engine with 12 psi in less than a thousand miles. Kind of a destructive route to take. Better hope it doesn't wreck the block/heads/etc or you'll be doing a lot more than a shortblock!

Its the first gen. mustang with the 4.6, you can expect much from it. My 4.6 was a turle, for him just to run that with a blower is good. Honestly i have seen some 99+ stangs with blower running low 13s. <bad driving i guess>


Don't go higher then 9psi enjoy the car alittle. You put 14psi i bet the first launch you get, if you hook hard, a piston will pop out of your hood.

Congrats on your times. Have a ball with your car and good luck with it.

how much rwhp you seeing?

 

[68 & 00 GT]

I'm surprised your pleased with that but OK.

Seems dumb to me to plan to blow your motor. Why not run safe boost for the time being, and get a new engine built in the mean time that will handle the boost, and give you a ET to really be happy with ?

:

Myself included, I managed a 13.3 last year as my best time. thats everything stock except the blower. At the time another guy with drag radials was only managing a 13.1 so I guess it wasnt that bad comparitively. Too much power on a crappy track. Next year I got suspension mods and tires coming so that should change. His times arent bad at all for what he's done. Im sure a more experienced driver could do better, but compared to what like 6 of us were running, it's not bad.

 

[just some guy]

or you could just run low 13s, high 12s soon...NA like some of us...lol
