hoping 13.5's?

[mantix33]

what should i expect to run with this setup, im hoping 13.5's but i have yet to run and its a bit far to go out to run at a track what do you guys think ill do, the mods are in the sig

do you still have the stock e6 heads? Those will probably hold you back, but with traction (like drag radial or slick traction) you should be close.

84 doesn't have E6 heads, E6 signifies the year they were introduced which is 86. C=60s,D=70s,E=80s,F=90s.

84 heads are not good heads by any means. I would expect mid to high 14s. If its your first time racing expect low 15s or high 14s.

I just noticed in your sig it says you have trickflow headers. Do you mean heads? Because I dont think trickflow makes headers. If you mean heads I would expect low 13s or high 12s.

its actually an 86 motor, the car was originally an 84 4 cyl auto (the heads are stock for the 86 tho), guy i got it off of said they where trickflow headers... but im not sure, they are the long tube headers but not sure what kind

Trickflow doesn't make headers. With E6 heads expect the mid to higher end of 14s.

Oh true, I thought just all 4 eyes had e6 heads.

 

[mantix33]

well i guess i might want to fix the sig a little to say "long tube headers of unknown origin"

If you get gears maybe, but without gears no.

I have almost the same combo u should be in the high to mid 13's depening on ur driving more like a 13.98 ? did i hear sombody say 15's lol heck are e6s that bad

 

[795.0pacecar]

I said low 15s high 14s with the stock 84 heads. E6 heads are alittle better and even with 4.10s you would be lucky to get out of the 14s. Most guys with stock E7s are lucky to get out of the 14s. It is possible though.

E6s are terrible heads that are not worth the iron they are made of. Theres a reason ford only used them on the mustang for 1 year.

trick flow makes a set of headers

Just looked on their site and your right. They do.

with my dads 86 i went 14.01 with 3.73 gears and et streets , 1st time driving the car at the track ........ id say its possible it may take some time

how do u figure? there are tons of guys with e7s running well into the 13's , and there are mustangs that are stock running 13's , hell my 88gt with just 3.73s and a k and n and flows, with stock pullies, stock headers and stock midpipe, with street tires was craking a 14.2 and on sliks with no launce, leaving at idle a 1.8 60' got me 13.8 consistently. soooo
