Went to Sac Drag Strip... Results, any comments???

[BuffMUSTANG]

Well I went to the Sac Drag strip tonight (July 21st)... Don brought his 99 GT out, I will let him post how he did himself. But I was happy with my 01 GT. My 01 has a C&L intake tube, Accufab 75mm TB, C&L Plenum, Steeda U/D pulleys, and a Flowtech O/R X pipe with a pair of Stock Mach 1 mufflers. I was running on ET Streets. I believe they are 26X10.5X16. Here are my runs:
Oh yea, I only got 2 freaking runs cause the place was packed... I hope they have Thursday night racing next year so all of the bull**** cars can go on Thursday and I can go on Wednesday and actually do something. anyway here are my runs:

.091
2.044
5.740
8.812
80.014
11.439

13.664 @ 102.333


Run 2

.121
2.037
5.830
8.951
78.835
11.612

13.859 @ 101.357


On the second run I shifted into 2nd gear a little early.... Looks like it killed my speed and I only shifted at like 5800 instead of 6000. I still cant figure out how to launch on those slicks... Can anyone help me out with their technique? By no means am I upset with my times... I think I did pretty good for my mods. Next time I will have my own bottle filled with the right fittings and I will hopefully be in the mid 12's... Comments????

Great times for mods.

Great times for mods.

Yeah, great times if it is an auto. On ET Streets, with those mods, it should be in the mid low 13s easy.

Launch on those ETs with a nice burnout just until they start white smoking then ride it out. Launch, if you are a man, at 4-4500 and prepare for shift, dont tap rev limiter. I ran 13.87 with only an xpipe and flows 2 years ago. I run slower nowadays since I put in the 410s, go figure.

I'd be afraid to launch that high on et's, if you do just be sure you can get a tow truck if you snap something conected to your rear end. If you aren't afraid of that go for it

If you launch any lower, you will bog down and lose time. I launch that high on Nittos and no breakage yet.

Last time i went to the track i had the ET Streets and 13 psi and i launched at 4500-5000 but the car bogged big time.... So this time i went with 15 psi and launched at 4000 the car still bogged a little.... i know the 60's for the ET Streets is horrible. I got a 1.9 60' with street tires... I guess only gears are going to help me...
