flo tech headers
bassani o/r x pipe
flo master 2 chamber cat back
under drive pullies
cam ( i think the e303)?
mac cold air in the inner fender
adj. fuel pressure reg.
ford lowering springs
3.55 gears
steeda lower rear arms
steeda adj.upper rear arms
nitto d/r's
pro 5.0 shifter
sreeda cable quadrant and fire wall adj.
spec stage 1 clutch
now for the question i run low 14's basically 14.0's 14.1,2,3's but i see guy's running faster times then mine with almost less thing's done so WTF? my 60' is like 2.0/2.1's my 1/4 mile is 94-98 mph with the 1/8 in like 76 mph or so. my fastest 1/4 mile time ever is 13.998 most of these times is without the d/r's or the rear upper's and lower's i have ran with the d/r's and the upper's and lower's but still the same,but i do releize that i need to adjust the uppers from the stock setting tho. so bascially anyone got some pointers or are these good/decent times for the stuff done to my 95 gt? any and all help would be great. peace

That cam might be actually hurting you....the stock one is pretty decent for the stock heads.

Try adding an intake that will help the car inhale since she can already exhale pretty well.

94-98mph is a pretty wide range, so which is it?

Get your 60's in the 1.9's and you'll be consistent 13's if the weather is good. An intake would def help or some headers.

First of all man its small stuff first. Don't get worked up about it till you solve the mall stuff. Like begin from the start line in your head is ther anything you can do better while you on the track. My first main thought would be work on that 60'. The 2.0-2.1 should be street tires. On DR's it should be 1.7-1.9 some guys cut awesome 60's on dr's. Heck the unofficial record is 7.98 1/4 on dr's by Dwayne "Big Daddy" Gutridge. Well while most of us can only dream of running that its an exampe of just how good you can hook on dr's.

Something I tell most people, and it goes in one ear and out the other:

Beef up the rear and run a real tire. Yes, Nittos can get the job done, but a tire that is more race oriented will do it much better, easier, and faster.

There are prices you've got to pay when you use sticky tires though, and unfortunately, I know from first hand experience. You will need aftermarket axles, no if's and's or but's. A freshened posi, or an aftermarket one should also be in order, however, it's not a necessity.

Some may come in here and say they've run slicks with no problems on stock axles. They've been very lucky.
