Guess my ET thread

[BurningRubber]

Mustang Week is coming up next week and im all set to hit Darlington to see what kind of times I can pull. Hopefully its a hell of alot better than last years 14.98...



Mods are: K&N intake, 75mm TB and ported upper plenum, UPR o/r X pipe, 2.5" Mac catback, Diablosport Predator generic tune timing bumped 5*, 4.10 gears.


I also have a set of 275-60-15 BFG drag radials. I ran those with stock gears and it KILLED my launch because it bogged. I think with the 4.10's it will be a good combo, possibly still a little tall but that will give me some extra MPH to work with at the end of the track.

I am hoping for 13.6-13.8 on street tires and 13.3-13.5 on DR's. Id set a lower goal but my suspension is stock as a rock with torched springs...

First your set of 275-60-15 BFG drag radials are over 2 inches taller than stock tires and will reduce your 4.1:1 some. I will guess 13.7 with the drag radials. The key is your 60 foot times.

 

[streetstang03]

14.2

yea i would probably say in the 13.7s ball park. possibly 13.5s if u can dial in your launch.

13.5-13.7

Thats it even with drag radials? Damn it all down, must mod more!!!! hahaha.


I know a few guys on here have hit 12.99 with my mods + minor suspension work.

Ill run street tires first and see what times they make.

Hahaha, a crap ton better. I can bang gears hard and fast now. When I ran the 14.98 I had only had the car for about 2 months, never beat on it, shifting around 4900-5k at the track slow as molasses.

13.7-13.9

Well with that 87 MPH trap in the 1/8 and slapping on the DR you should be mid to low 13's

lol yea if that mph was real that would be good for high 12s lol. must have been some fluke thing with the traps.

Do to do that he would need to get his 1/8 times down to around an 8 flat. The big guess is what were his 60 foot times?
