Well...went to Englishtown today for the Fords at Englishtown event and thought I could just run time trials, but couldnt. So I entered the Mustang Bracket class and got 3 time runs and was eliminated in the first round. My first run, which was my best run and the only one I care about completely boggled my mind. All i've done since my last time to the track and went 14.9 at 92 is taken out the AOD and put in a T-5. Still running 2.73 gears and street tires:

R/T - .479
60' - 2.317
330 - 6.127
1/8 - 9.299
MPH - 77.15
1000 - 12.042
1/4 - 14.355
MPH - 97.54

so the swap earned me 6 tenths! and I know there's still more in it when i put in the 3.73's i have that are collecting dust, and buy some tires. I can't wait to go 13's!

I saw your car and was trying real hard to remeber where I knew it from. It's the red stripe that says XXV that jumps out at. To bad I didnt realize, I would have come up and introduced myself. But yea, i'm really happy with what the car's doing for what it's got. I cant wait to get my gears in!

Yeah that was my car, you should have, I wasnt too busy working on it. I was also driving the maroon hatch in Factory in the last two rounds it ran. I ran 12.56 in mine, and 12.11 in my dads! Not bad for E7 heads/stock cam in my car, and GT-40Ps/stock cam in his car, both on stock bottem ends, and mine on stock suspension!

For you, gears and tires and easy 13s. Might even have enough now with some tires!

Nice gains, man! When I put the 5 speed in my car, I gained a half second.

I was there on Saturday, but ran a half second slower than my best the week before. Then it started raining and I left. lol
