Stock 89 Auto wont burn out is that normal?

[dubbsix]

Guys,

Finally got rid of all my engine codes and i expected the engine to run like a top, but i was frustrated to see that my car would NOT burn out if i punched on the gas. I could not get the tires to break loose.

My car is completely stock.

Is this normal?

Dunno, have you bumped the timing at all?

When I 1st got my 91 AOD bone stock with the 2.73's, It wouldnt break em loose either.

pretty much the norm for an auto with stock gears. I have a 91lx with cai, catback and o/r x and it gets very little rubber with the stock gears.

Guys,

Thank you so much for replying. So the lack of rubber is some what natural until i start pounding the mods on right?

Im keeping the aod and i was thinking of going with 3.73 gears would that wake things up a bit?

Im pretty new to mustangs and cars with manually adjustable distributors for that matter. Im a camaro guy turned stang owner. How much of a difference will advancing the timing help?

My car couldnt get out of its own way with 2.73's. Now its got 4.10's and easily breaks the tires loose.

 

[dubbsix]

lol. Okay i'll add gears to my list of pending mods.

advance it to 14 or 15. you can feel a little difference. usually better throttle response.

and gears are a must. get some ASAP

Front Disks. Rear Drums. Step on the brake. Step on the Gas.

Got it?

Stock AOD with 2.73's won't really burn rubber without doing it from a brake-stand.

If you have decent tires on it, it will be even harder.

After i did 3.73's to mine, i could spin it all the way to 2nd gear

 

[dubbsix]

Oh yea i did a brake stand and got it to burn out, but i guess going from a lt1 camaro to this mustang i thought it would burn out with no problem. I had no idea they had 2.73 gears. Geesus!

Would you all recommend i do the 5-lug swap at the same time ?

Who the hell is that chick in your image space man. She's beautiful.

My wife's 89 lx w/aod is bone stock down to the airbox and it can do burnouts no problem (my wife gets pretty pissed when I do it ) I dunno what gear it has though. From a red light I can stand on it and it will lay rubber through the intersection. Maybe I have a factory freak?

Oh thank you for that link lol.

bstrd86 maybe your wifes car has an optional gear set.

 

[blackened88lx]

Gears will definitely help, it seems like 4.10s are the norm for autos. For even more fun throw in a higher stall converter and really rip the tires off.

 

[dubbsix]

4.10's really? I thought they be TOO much gear for a stocker. I was thinking 3.73's. I do plan on doing some engine upgrades, but as of right now i've got no money to do anything but dream lol.

I plan on going with with the following when i get my tax return:

AFR 165 Heads
Edelbrock RPM intake manifold
255lph fuel pump
adjustable regulator

4.10's are fine for an AOD car. I run 3.73's and kinda wish i did 4.10's.

 

[TheBocSez]

I have 4.10 and love them. Just remember that if you leave the gear selector in OD with them, you are going to end up in OD pretty quick, thats another reason why a good shift kit or VB comes in handy.
