Went to rockingham dragway today 75degrees humidity around 45%.
I have a 91 mustang with offroad xpipe, magnaflow catback, and 76mm C&L maf with tube, timing at 15degrees with 93 octane, cheap street tires.
RT---------.515
60---------2.245
330-------6.042
1/8--------9.228
MPH-------77.36
1000------11.948
1/4--------14.235

This is my first run ever in a mustang, I made 2 other runs 14.245@98, 14.445@98, and one run 14.6@96<--Spun bad

get better tires and bring your 60ft down. what rpm r you launching at?

 

[jhonda]

1800-2000, it was night racing and my alternator was on the way out so I had no lights, and barely made it home

 

[niklid05]

thats not too bad.....I ran a 14.6 at 95mph with long tubes or h and a ****astic stock tach. My brother drove it down the track and he slammed second and the needle was stuck at 2k the rest of the way back to the staging lanes LOL.

 

[jhonda]

is this a good time for my mods? What kind of 60ft can you get with some dot drag radials and stock suspension

 

[Busted07]

I had less mods than you and ran a hair better on street tires, so i think you have more in the car yet. I would bring the rpms up to 2100-2200 and ride the clutch out of the hole to minimize spinning...

I had a shifter, cat back, 14* timing, ice on the intake and street tires, and went 14.01 in my 91 lx using that method

 

[jhonda]

what did you trap at(mph)

 

[Busted07]

what did you trap at(mph)

Almost the same as yours, betwen 98-99

Rockingham is a hard track to learn to hook up at. I have to use more clutch there than I have to at piedmont. Let me know when your going back, I may bring the stang down if it's running.

Your pretty close from what I've seen. With some driving practice you might be able to get 14.0's with better 60ft.'s. maybe even high 13's. It's hard to launch a 5speed car on street radials. It took me alot of practice to get 60ft.'s in the 2.0 range.

 

[jhonda]

I know I could reach 14 0s with my current set up but I can't powershift due to the syncros going out especially 2-3rd gear.

With a 2.0 holeshot you'll go 13.9s. I ran a 13.8 @99mph with a 2.0 60', so 13s are there, but the holeshot is critical to do it.
