Went to the track after H/C/I

Even without the dyno tune, a 103mph would indicate mid-13-second potential. It must really be out of whack to run mid-14's with that traps speed.

What do the 60 foot times look like? More power in the hands of a not so experienced driver will usually mean slower times.

haha i know man but i just dont have the money to get it tuned right now.
it does have a fancy fuel pump but i have no idea what it is.
you can hear it pretty good when you turn the key on.
would the regulator make that much of a difference?

oh and my 60 foot times suck too because the clutches in my rear end are going out.

knowing the lph of your fuel pump is important in knowing if you have enough pump to keep up with the fuel demand of your injectors/combo at WOT... the noise at KOEO (key on engine off) isn't a good indicator of whether or not you have an aftermarket, higher lph fuel pump, as even the stock mustang pump is relatively loud at KOEO... the fuel pressure regulator is also pretty important and vital to a good tune in my opinion, any tuner worth anything will want to dial in your fuel pressure, especially to avoid what is called "pressure creep" at idle caused by a high lph fuel pump

more info is needed for a more accurate diagnosis, but a tune and some traction would more than likely do wonders for you

hate to thread jack but i feel the same way, with no track times to prove it. my car isnt as beefed as yours but i have a 12/13second mods which feels slower then the bone stock 94gt aod i had????
does anyone think a maf swap will help gain some horses, or should i look for a sd based tune? i had my timing bumped way about 16* up but i could never get the car to start without a jump box(to advanced) when it was like that it ran good. but it didnt idle normal and again it wouldnt start without a jump/charge. now it will crank up anytime its at about the normal 12* which it acts the most stockish but i really dont think she is fast....i have no money or interest in any go fast mods but getting the most out of mine would be nice....

i've tried to convince you to get it tuned in like 4 of your other threads, haha... i understand you're in high school and money might be an issue, but your stock computer has no idea what the hell is going on right now, get a chip burned and a tune and all of your drivability/power issues will disappear, trust me (that is, if you have a good tuner )

edit: i also don't see a fuel pump upgrade or adjustable fuel pressure regulator in your sig, what's the story on those?

Tuning is key. But you will only need a chip if the car doesn't like being tuned. It means that you have to force it to be tuned. Something like that. I'm not the best person to explain that though.
