Finally got a chance to run my car for the first time since I put the 5speed and some bolt on's on it. How do you think I did?

My car is a full weight '89 GT with , Gforce syncro'd T5(2.95 1st gear) , 1 5/8 BBK Shorty's/catted x pipe/dynomax catback with race bullets,3:73's, Trick Flow street heat w/ 70mm TB , CAI , No front sway bar , A/c removed. Everything else is untouched. I ran with 255/50/16 street tires in the rear aired up at 32 psi so I took it easy out of the hole walking the clutch out at about 2500rpm. I'm going to go back next time with a drag radial on my spare pony's and go for a deeper 13second pass.

R/T .230
60' 2.096
330' 5.826
1/8 8.921
1/8 MPH 78.98
1000' 11.610
1/4 13.87
1/4 MPH 99.90

nothing wrong with a car under 14 second 1/4. now you have a start point and see how low you can tune it from here. DR and a higher rpm launch should change that number quite a bit.

Yeah i'm happy with what i ran especially with a soft launch(13.8 was my goal). I'm going to either get a set of draglites or put a set of ET streets on my spare pony's and go a 13.5 or so. Does anyone else here have similar bolt on's? If so what did you run ?

to compaire with mine,

88 gt vert auto with 3.55's, exhaust, intake and bolt ons.

reaction - .159 to .004 (im proud of this one)
60 foot - 2.24
1/8 mile in a blistering 9.41 @77.93

looks like there is a tenth in your RT but looks like some solid baseline runs for the start of the season. if you can keep from breaking something you should do better!

looks good, times will only improve with more seat time and better traction.

I went 12.91 @ 103.7 with a very similar setup.

1989 Ford Mustang LX - Fox Buildup

There is one major difference though, I went a 1.69 60' with BFG Drag Radials and UPR suspension. I picked up 3 tenths with just the UPR suspension!
