Hi there guys.. as some of you know I have a 95 SC mustang gt with a vortech sq 10psi setup.
msd boostcontroller and trex fuel pump, shorty headers and H pipe...

My first race is on saturday 1/8 mile track... Is there anything I can do to increase HP/TQ without buying things from usa (don't have time to order) Increase timing or disconnect sumthin??
let me know if you know any secrets.. I have the timing set to 10° @ idle with the spout conn, disconnected.....

Its all practice at the track. Only tips are the ice and letting air out of the tires if you're using DR's or slicks. You might be able to get away with a little more timing than 10*. I've been running 20* timing for my current setup for the past days and I havent ran into any problems... But each car is diff.

If you're going for just an ET and MPH then dont try to race the other person... when the light turns green wait until your ready to go.

I wouldnt go much over 18* if I was you... I need to back mine down a little bit until I get it on the dyno.

Ditto on that. And that is 18 TOTAL. I have 17 total in mine. If you have a BTM I would set it at 1 and set your base timing at 10-12.
