Run 8.4 w/ bolt ons?

[MaxedGT]

I've run 8.8 1/8th on streets. Mods in sig. With slicks, he can run 8.4 if he's a good driver. Like I said earlier, long tubes make good power. Don't get pissed at guys that are faster than you. Learn from them.

Dude that was completely uncalled for. No one is pissed at anything, I think you need to calm down.


I wont believe that a kid with minor bolt ons can run 8.4 untill I see it, simple as that, especially at the track we have locally, It's horrible.


As for "Don't get pissed at guys that are faster then me." That's totally rude, and I think you need to relax a little.

i belive it is possible
my bud has a bullit with an x pipe (stock cat back) 3.73 k&n & an xcaliber tune that runs 8.60's consitantally and ran an 8.52 in richmond at fun ford weekend

The HP he claims sounds high (unless he's estimating flywheel?) but the 1/8 time is possible. I have run a handfull of 8.8's with the minimal mods below (usually one per track visit).. I am pretty consistant in the 8.9's with dyno numbers at 240 rwhp. Best is 8.86@78 (twice) with a 1.94 60'. I am by no means a great driver.

A guy I know has a Mach 1 with long tubes, off road X, SLP's and cold air and he gets into the high 7's on slicks. He dyno's a little over 300 (315 if I remember right).

I don't think 8.4@80 is insanely unreasonable.

I have DR's, 4.10's, an H-pipe and unpper manifold and can run the time's in my sig(8.6@82). Car is making 248whp off the bottle.

I run consistent 8.47s / 8.48s @ 83 mph with the following mods:
- 4.10
- ET Streets
- Predator
- Mid pipe and catback

My 60 fts are always ****ty (1.96X to 2.02X) so there's still little room for improvement.

ET Streets and you're not sub 1.80's?! DO they not prep the track at all where you run?

Yes...

I tried everything: 5 to 10 seconds burnouts, launches @ 2000, 3000, 3500, 4000 and so on... But over 3500 RPM I keep spinning. My Sportlines must prevent any weight transfer...

Here's a good example of my car against a sub 1.80s Mustang: Video

Do you have any tip?

 

[RoadracerGT]

Not really any tips, but I would imagine that on a ET Street a 1.8 would be a "crappy" 60ft, even on an ill preppred track(we have 2 of those ****ty tracks here locally).

I would put about 10psi in the ET's and feather abuse that clutch out at around 4500.

I know all tracks are different, but good luck with your next outing. May also try removing the front swaybar endlink(or front swaybar itself) to get the front lift easier.
