I think I reach my e.t. goal, i'm done

[Slow5.0]

Well here is story
It took me about one full year and a lot money to get from 15.1@89 (stock form) to 14.7@93 (with 70% mods) ,than I get FRPP aluminum driveshaft and BBK aluminum underdrive pulleys and I cut e.t. on first pass to 14.1@97 But my goal was 13s and 100mph,so I got heads,cam and everything else needed to get everything right (cost me almost $2500 for H/C) so on first pass I made 13.6@102,than I change track than 13.3@105 and I went to Quaker City ,OH and I got 12.9@108 with just 1.8 60ft (thats two months ago and here is the link when I reach 12s http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=501466)

On this track day in Quaker City ,OH I had brand new TwEECer R/T and POS laptop and just before first run I melt hard drive in laptop and I couldn't play with spark and A/F or anything ,so I decide to bump fuel pressure from 38psi to 50psi because I know it was runing 14.7;1 at WOT without TwEECer so I richen up little bit and than I did huge burnout and I got my best 60ft ever (1.8)
Keep in mind that I still have stock TB,stock T-5 with 3.73s ,stock old struts/shocks
I come back home and a few days after I fix my laptop BUT nittos was too bold to get on track again so I call this year
I can play with tune and get my heavy Stang almost 3900lbs, heavyer than Pauls but I don't have time and money (I just make $8.64 per hour) but enough for modding my Stang
I reach and over reach my 13sec pass with 100mph (12.9@108) so I ain't gona play N/A anymore , it's time to go with power adder
I won't talk about that now ,but something will be in the next summer,I will made another thread about that
I know this 11 years old ,106.xxx miles short block can't hold too much but ,we will see what I can do with this and how far I can push heavy Stang

Get yourself a blower man! You can find good deal on vortechs and paxtons now and they are both offering $100 rebates. I just bought a Vortech SQ and I paid $2249 + shipping so after the rebate its $2149. I'm in the process of installing it now. I have 120k miles on my car, but IMO tune it a little rich, pull out extra timing and keep the rev's below 6000 and we should be fine.

3900# - wow. I saw a picture of you a while back Ernie - you look like a pretty big dude. Us guys that weigh over 200# gotta make more power.....

I would stay NA for at least another season. This way you can see how far you can take it naturally aspirated. You came a long way (mod wise and Et wise) in a very short time. There is more in your car with the power you have now. You could get a complete front and rear suspension ie,...tubular k member, coilovers, A arms, relocate the battery to the trunk, as well as skinnies and et streets for less than the price of a power adder. You would drop a butt load of weight and hook up at the strip like a Mofo. It would be easier on the block and tranny which would equate to being easier on the wallet as well.


oops spelling Edit

www.superchargers4less.com Great place and very good customer service! I didnt price 94/95 blowers, but I can't imagine it being much more since the only difference is the bracket. I did my supercharger homework and the Vortech kit was the best deal in my eyes. You could cheap out and buy an entry level blower like a novi 1000 or a vortech SC but for the $400 more it comes out to, the S trim is the clear winner for me. The novi 2000 is a better blower, but it was $500 more.

yes. why would you spend $2500 on a H/C combo and not get a 70mm t-body????

 

[1slow95]

Where's the track at in Quaker City? I've been there for work but I never knew there was a track there.
