Track times after "DRAGON" Plenum install, come on inside--->

[TacBear]

Do you know what happened to the yellow Mustang that was pushed off the staging lanes? I thought I saw him running mid/high 12's a couple passes before that.

Are you talking about the yellow Cobra"R" clone??

The Dragon Aseriously good bang for the buck contender.Way to go Tacbear.I'm going to be down a T&J on the week end of the 29 give me a hollar if your around.

the dragon cult has begun

Ford Racing 70mm TB (its in the Sig)!!

Yep...it's offical...I'm an idiot.

What's the word (if you've heard anything)....is it better with a 75 like the C&L or is the 70 perferred?

That I don't know, I used the FR 70mm because I already had one

When you order the Dragon Plenum get the 75 mm no matter what TB you use!

 

[RoadracerGT]

No, this one was just like a normal yellow GT, or maybe it was a Cobra. Had a Cobra badge on the side but that doesnt mean much now a days.

To stay on topic.....my GT just has a K&N w/4.10's, but I installed the C&L w/Accu.75mm the day before the trip and even though I didnt run my best 60fts or 1/8th's, I'm happy that I got a 13.85@101.

I generally dont drag race(as my SN shows), so I figured the roll bar and the NON-drag friendly suspension would slow me down.

Good job!

 

[TacBear]

Good job!

Thanx

 

[DeadLurker]

the reason i ask is because if i compare my previous best of [email protected] to my new best of [email protected] i could claim that the plenum/t.b. combo i just installed(only change to the car) gave me gains of almost 3/10 and 2.5mph but when comparing the runs (BOTH) corrected to factor DA i really only gained 1/10 and 1mph. are you comparing both runs with corrected times?

IMHO only real way to test it is to try it both ways(stock vs dragon) at the track on the same day under the same conditions to see how much of a difference it makes.

I agree and that what I did with my c&l

runs before c&l

2.05 2.04 2.01
13.81 13.82 13.76
@101.1 101.5 101.4

runs after c&l (only able to make 2 runs)
2.09 2.12
13.60 13.54
102.5 103.12

swapped the plenums in the staging lanes my best being a 13.54 corrected to 13.3@105 (was 1450 above sea level)
I was wrong on the alt it was 1450 above sea level not 1240

its been almost 3 mnths since I made those runs

[shifty4.6]

I installed:
a "Dragon" Plenum--performance mod
Aluminum D.S.---
Steeda LCA's---
Tokico 5-ways and lowered my ET. .231 seconds (average for 3 runs) and picked up 2 MPH (average of 3 runs)

I am still producing 2.0xx 60 ft. times, so I don't think the LCA's helped my ET. They are just making my 60 ft. times more consistent!

Before this install my ET./MPH (average of 4 runs) was 14.084@98 mph
Now it is [email protected] the "Dragon" Plenum Rocks!!!!

I have a white 2002 gt and i just wanted to say that i think your car is great, im really impressed with the whole cobra R convert. and your interior looks perfect
