went to the 1/4mile tonight

slow3gt · Jul 26, 2006

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 · Jul 26, 2006

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 · Jul 26, 2006

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 · Jul 26, 2006

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

Skidzz · Jul 26, 2006

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 · Jul 26, 2006

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

hotmustang331 · Jul 26, 2006

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

slow3gt · Jul 26, 2006

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 · Jul 26, 2006

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

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 · Jul 27, 2006

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 · Jul 27, 2006

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

Yellow2002GT · Jul 28, 2006

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 · Jul 28, 2006

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 · Jul 29, 2006

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 · Jul 30, 2006

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.

went to the 1/4mile tonight
