went to the 1/4mile tonight

[slow3gt]

i went to the drag strip today for the first time since i put cams in it was pretty humid tonight but not too hot so i dont know if that will effect my times or not i i def. need to work on the 60fts ill probably buy some control arms for it soon but here are my three best times

R/T .167
60ft 2.064
1/8th mile 8.773 at 82.96mph
1000ft 11.344
1/4 13.504 at 104.86mph

R/T .405
60ft 2.142
1/8 mile 8.852 at 83.04
1000ft 11.423
1/4 mile 13. 583 at 104.84 mph

R/T .241
60ft 2.163
1/8 8.924 at 82.94
1000ft 11.494
1/4 mile 13.651 at 105. 10 Mph


i was going for a 13.5 so im happy i think with control arms i should be able to drop a couple more tenths

Now you can update your signature

Not too bad of a 60' though have you thought about purchasing some DRs?

 

[slow3gt]

yea ive thought about it but im see what control arms will do first maybe some subframes or shocks im up to suggestions on what and what brand would help

 

[d98gt]

http://www.maximummotorsports.com Great quality suspension parts.

Go with the full length SFCs. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/i...com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=122 can be bought cheaper from http://mustangtuning.com/maximum-motorsports-full-length-subframe-connectors.html (free shipping )

1. if your going to drag race go ahead and get a set of track wheels 15" and sticky tires I like the et streets still street legal and bias ply hook like a mug.
2. SFC's while they prolly won't help your et's they do make the car more predictable, launch straigther, and keep body gaps looking rigth.
3. control arms - I put the MM XD's on mine and haven't been able to run it yet to give a track impression. Hopefully Friday night.

Now having said all that your mph if you drive the wheels off it should be able to get you to a low 8 sec 1/8 mile and I'd wager a 12's in the 1/4.

 

[Mel96GT]

Good times. Just wondering what your rpms were in what gear? BTW, I also recommend SFC's.

 

[Skidzz]

Nice times man . Yea, some LCA's will help with your 60'. I need a pair myself....well.....there's still a lot that I need.

 

[slow3gt]

i was shifting at 6-6.1 if that what you are asking

 

[hotmustang331]

Nice times man! Now just throw on some LTs....those REALLY wake things up. You should be trapping 106s if you do.

 

[slow3gt]

yea im gonna do control arms this summer and l/ts over christmas break from college that should have me in the 12's

 

[hotmustang331]

^ dropping that 60' is a must though....on street tires and full weight my car goes 13.20 @ 106. 2.0 ish 60' though .

 

[Mel96GT]

Actually I was just asking what your final rpms were and in what gear when you crossed the finish line. Just curious how the 3.73's play out on the 1/4 with street tires.

 

[slow3gt]

oh umm im in 4th around 5 to 5.5 i really wasnt paying that close of attention i shift to 4th at about the 1000ft or somewhere around there im sure i wouldnt have to shift into 5th for another 1/8th mile or so

 

[COramprat]

I get 1.8 sixties on 17 inch MT DR's on the stock rear. Try some stickies first.

 

[Yellow2002GT]

Great times! MT DR's are the way to go bro.....Went to the Mustang Week Track event at Darlington last night and Hit 1.79 60 ft and ran 8.3 1/8th and 13.06 1/4 @ 103 at 90 deg temps! The track wasn't prepped at all so I kept taking the tire pressure down.....hooked up great with 13.5 PSI tire pressure. everybody on street radials were cutting 2.2's or higher! lol
"ED"

 

[SilverBullet00]

I went out to the track after my cam install as well... Ran a 14.6 @ 98 with a 2.2 60 ft..... couldnt hook up at all!! And I have brand new tires...

The sixty is killing you. You should be close to 14.0 with a 2 flat sixty. DR's knocked another 2 tenths off my times. New tires don't help much if they are street radials.

Drag radials are great. I went from some nice bridgestones to nitto drag radials and they hook so muck better. 2000 rpm launch to a 4500 rpm launch. get drag radials. my cars a daily driver and ive gotten about 12000 miles out of them and the tread isnt too bad yet. no burnouts though.

 

[Jackie Chan]

learn to get it out of the hole on street tires. thats a low 13sec car or better, im guessing with some practice you will pick up a couple mph as well, making it even more capable...WITHOUT any mods.

 

[MaxedGT]

Slicks or drag radials will help you more than suspension mods. I saw a guy go from a 13.9 best to 13.3 by just throwing on E/T drags, and that was with stock gears. Then do suspension mods later if you want.
