That sir, is Bench racing....

Idealy, a blown 4.6 WOULD rape a lt1 camaro.... But there are a million factors here... Mods on the camaro, driver skill for each car, tires they are on.......

I pass smog in CA with my stock h-pipe swapped back on. Just did it a couple weeks ago and all my numbers were in the single digets, bottom 5% of the allowable emmissions. It was cleaner then chit. You need a custom tune or something. There has got to be another 50hp in that thing. With nothing but the procharger I was 380/405. With completely stock exhaust and no powerpipe.

That's interesting. When I was at Powertrain Dynamics getting dynotuned, the most he could squeeze out oif her was 307 RWHP before she started detonating. I heard that some of the 2002 motors had high compression. Is yours a 9:1?

Then don't talk about your car in a race or what it can beat, get beat by, or keep up with. It's simple.

You just don't get it . Nobody knows how fast your car is, because you won't run it. Take it to the track for 15-20 bucks and answer your own question.

is nonsense, line them up at a track and find out.

You obviously started this thread because you are "talking", not "asking" other people in your area or other forums about your car. So you, Sir, are bench racing. Asking, is bench racing, because we don't know. 300rwhp can be good for 11's with the right setup and driver, or 14's.

Everyone but you assumed competent driving.

Too many factors..

could run anywhere from 12's with slicks and skinnys and a decent driver to 99.999999999 <--- ET equivalent of infinity


In my opinion until you run it on the track it runs 99.9999

You should make some time to try and get to a track for one it's a lot of fun... two you will learn a lot about how to drive your car

Some of you guy are being Dicks , rhyrlik gave his mods and HP level , so based off of Mustangs seen at the track with similar mods or HP , you or I can give a ball park E/T !

Everybody I go to the track with does the same thing , we look at cars and make a guess before they run , this is no different just because you cant see his car !

If its a low track and he can hook , he has a 12sec car , whats so hard about saying that !

High 13's.

Until you line it up, you are wasting time, or afraid of the real time it may be.

It has been answered. The only way to know for sure is to take it to the track. Based on a HP and torque number the best that can be done is a guess. Does this dyno read high does this dyno read low. Are these corrected numbers and if so to which SAE standard? Posting the dyno sheet would help a little.

I am 100% sure that all 2v mustang motors produced between 1999 and 2004 had the same compression. On Kenne Bells websit it says that the 6psi kit should be worth 106 hp more then stock. That should put you closer to 340 I would think. Maybe you were running out of fuel causing it to detonate. What injectors and pump are you running? If it is the stock with the Boost-a-pump maybe your stock pump is going out. I would get a svt focus or ford GT pump and put the boost-a-pump away till you need even more fuel. Did they data log anything when it was on the dyno?

I bet you would run in the twelves somewhere. It is really hard to tell untill you actually go to the track. It takes practice to run a consistant time. One run might be a 12.4 the next a 12.9. If anyone asks just tell them it a twelve second car.

Im not sure about drag strips around you. I know in Sacramento they let you run for 10 bucks every wed. and 50 bucks every other friday. It is worth it to pay the 50 for friday cause no one is ever there so you can get more runs in. And you ususlly don't have to even wait for more the one or two other cars to run. There must be something like that down south.

Bench racing is fun guys. I bet all you loosers do it all the time with your buddies. Stop with all the BS and just say what you think it will run, yes there are variables but what do you think it will run with you driving it? I know anything I drive will run 9s for sure

The last thing anyone needs to do is put stock on what Kenne Bell numbers tell people what their cars "should" be making. Rarely have I seen Kenne Bell cars meet advertised claims...and when they do, there are usually other deciding factors involved. They dyno test their cars with excessive amounts of timing and in many cases with race gas in the tank.

Consider Kenne Bell figures a best case scenario, not a real world expectation.

FYI, most Kenne Bell '99-'04 cars I've seen/heard running around are putting down between 290-320rwhp@6psi (depending on the drive line) with few, or no other bolt ons to speak of. And that's running the available 91-94 Octane pump gas. Those are numbers you can realistically expect.

300rwhp is usually good for 12.70-12.80's, thats about what my car makes, but my best time so far is a 13.31, so my car is a low 13 sec car, not a 12 second car YET...

Are you runing a stock tire , 60` 2.1 with a 108 trap , sounds like some slippery racing through the first 330 mark !

So people run 11's out of the factory in my car, with stock tires. Do I have an 11 second car? Nope. It's simple, you can't claim you have an 11, 12, or 13 second car until you run it.

OK, then let's rephrase the question:

Given my setup, what have similar setups yielded on the track?

For example, plenty of stock 1999-2004 GT's have ran 14.0 second quarter miles. How about those with my setup? I can't be all that unique.
