the weather was great today, so we dicided to head out to the track, the car is untuned, and i was shifting about 800-1000rpms early, this is the first time i have ran it with the new cams, and it ran great even untuned! i cant wait to get it tuned and finish the suspension up, i can smell 11's!!! lol

That is awesome!!

Good to see you got the tires nice n warm. Good driving too!

 

[Kornnut]

Thing is a movin.

 

[98COBRA281]

thanks guys!

yeah the temp was in the low 60's, high 50's and i let it cool off for about 2 hours, so the tires needed a little heat! lol, still spun a little off the line tho.....

 

[Winters98GT]

Your car is running great!

Did you hit the 2-3 as good as you wanted? The audio on my computer is not great.

No doubt you will go 11's. This is very neat to see an NPI head car do this.

One last question, what race weight, 60ft, DA, and MPH do you think you need to get there?

 

[mazen189]

great run!!
man, u hooked so hard, your camera guy couldnt keep up.

 

[johnnyt03gt]

awesome, im looking forward for summer so i can finish my suspension and instill my
nitrous express kit that's been setting in my room, it'll be my very first time at the track

again congratulations on that excellent time

 

[ran260gt]

Damn nice , was that run on slicks and whats your race weight ?

 

[98COBRA281]

thanks guys, the DA was about 100 feet, the race weight was 3400 lbs exactly, and i run M/T et streets, they have the 3 little lines around them to make them "street legal"

winters: i want to see about 1.5 60's, hoping to get the race weight down to about 3100-3200, more suspension, and it get it tuned right! my 2-3 shift was pretty good

what size are those et streets? do you have the et street IIs? Oh, are those the radials or bias ply tires?

Now you need some 4.88 gears for that thing :stirpot:

NPI head class is about to get a beatdown by a *trio* of black Florida Mustangs

 

[bhuff30]

Looks like a ton of fun! I can't wait to get back out to the track again...

 

[navarro98gt]

Very impressive!! Can’t wait to see what times she will run with a tune and revving it higher.

 

[ninjastang125]

Those are good time you need to get you mph up to around 113 or 114 to see 11's.

 

[nickmckinney]

According to my calculator with the engine/tune as is, dropping 200lbs from that fat weight it has will have it doing 112MPH. Between a weight drop, more gear, proper intake elbow, tune, and actually reving the thing where it wants to be it has the potential to be the fastest NPI NA car at the moment.

 

[kuwait]

heh , awesome time mate and the car running hard , you made the guy on the other lane sad tho

 

[Mustang92]

The DA last night was right around -500 feet about 9:30.

I saw your car out there last night but didn't get a chance to come by and say hi. RPM is a huge factor for a car like yours. Mine would see a solid 3-4 MPH difference between shifting at 6000 versus 6800.

Sick run man! What mods are you running? Looks like it has a rocket strapped to it out of the hole

 

[1fun281]

Honestly... it leaves like an animal

 

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

Man that thing was moving! It's really impressive what you've done and are still doing to the car. It's definetely quick and one of the fastest npi's i've seen. I think you're changing a lot of people's minds about going pi. Keep up the good work!
