I'm curious to your predictions of mid 11's -120mph. From my expieriences those times are closer to low 12's-high 11's and a trap speed 115-118mph
I'm curious to your predictions of mid 11's -120mph. From my expieriences those times are closer to low 12's-high 11's and a trap speed 115-118mphThanks for the feedback, bro. Nice work! The engine is definitely working at the 95, almost 96mph trap speed is hauling ass for sure. That should put you through the 1/4 traps at ~120mph! 11s? ha! Your car is going mid-11s as it sits! That race must've been fun. He murdered you from the tree by over a second, and you still ran him down! I'll bet that was fun! Yeah, I like the horn switch. I wonder what I'd need to do to get it to work on one side while still having a usable horn with the other switch.

That's awesome! Means you picked up at least 50hp. Congrats!I think he was basing it off the timeslip's mph. Yeah, if I could run 95+ in the 1/8th, I would agree to close to 120 in the 1/4. But like stated, I know my car traps around 90-91 mph in the 1/8th on a good run. I expect about 115 in the 1/4 once I make it to a 1/4 track with new upgrades.
Fwiw, I picked up almost 5mph in the 1/8 with the heads. I trapped 108.25 with the old heads, so I think a 7 mph increase is what I will see.

Congratulations man! You should be right on par with the 11 second pass. My car runs 7.70s which is 11.7 in the quarter at 119. What is the suspension setup? The 60 foot isn't doing you any favors to be honest.

I love that you named your carYes, exactly.
In which case, you'll still be no problem in the 11s with good traction.
Honestly, I'm not tooting my own horn when I say that I'm impressed with Black Jack's traction. After all, I didn't put the suspension together. On stock-sized 225/55/16 Goodyear Eagle GTs, it went a 1.83 60'. I can't imagine how it would run on a good drag radial or slick. I don't want to blow my T5 up to find out, either. Anyway, take a look at Black Jack's simple set up here: Fox - New Hatchback | Mustang Forums at StangNet
I never said I was doing things right, but my data says it seems to work best dumping the clutch the way i do. I'm sure with a little more clutch finesse it could be better. The thing hits hard, pops the front up pretty good (no air) and has just a touch of spin.I'm surprised it takes so much RPM to go low 1.7s to high 1.6s. You're running similar trap speeds, so probably similar power to weight, and I'm launching off of idle to go low 1.8s. We also have the same rear gear.

Joe, it's definitely worth the time to play with the shock settings, i went from a best pass of 12.73 (mid 1.7) to a 12.64 (mid 1.6) just going up 2 settings on the back, and down two in the front. Those passes were an hour apart, and then the air got super soupy and did another mid/high 1.6 (low 12.7 at the stripe). It took about a dozen tries, and logging my results to track that down (not to mention the head banging and cussing ).
