went to the track for the first time in the mustang last night and i think i did pretty good. the track here is known for being pretty slippery after the first 10 runs or so, so i made sure to get there 30 mins before they opened so i could be first in line. i ended up being second so i could race a guy i met a few days ago with a 94-95 5.0. all he had that i could see was a cai trickflow intake and exhaust. he also had a 50 shot i think but he wasnt using it. anyhow we lined up, it was my first time driving a 2wd car there for about a year. the run was dead even the whole way down the track. i was shifting at 5k on the advise of a former mustang owner i know. it worked very well, on my later runs i would run alot slower by winding it out to 5500 or higher. here is the numbers:

ME HIM
r/t .191 .150
60' 2.181 2.108
330 6.160 6.151
1/8 9.448 9.506
mph 75.09 73.41
1000 12.263 12.332
1/4 14.650 14.701
mph 94.55 95.92

so, howd i do? BTW my only mods are k&n drop in, jegs off road h-pipe and flowmaster catback.
 
Those are some pretty good #s for a non PI with just exhaust. Good work, nice consistency. Of course the 60' needs to be lower, but it will ALWAYS need to be lower - this is, most often, the key to a good run.
