went to the track today

[mustang_cab]

well i went to the track today to run my car. last time i ran a 14.9. since then i got u/l control arms, new shocks, 4.10's, and a good tune. well i thought everything was going to be great. well i was wrong. i found out it is impossible to hook when you have street tires combined with 4.10's and a 2800 converter. i spun off the line bad. then spun again going into 2nd and 3rd! the best i got in the three runs before i gave up was a 14.83. so what kind of drag radials do you think i should get. also do you think 13's were possible with my set up if i would have hooked?

 

[mustang_cab]

no ideas?

 

[sage2k]

what 60 foots were you getting?

 

[mustang_cab]

[mustang_cab]

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tires??

[Stanger007]

There's a guy here in town selling some I believe - MT ET Street radials on 17" rims, I'll try to track down his info for ya.

13's are not out of question if you get a sticky tire

 

[cobra259]

What MPH were you running?

 

[mustang_cab]

i ran it at 94 mph. let me know what you find out about the guy with the MT's. thanks wes

 

[earleys94gt]

I was gonna say either MT's or Nitto's. I would say 13's are not out of the question...if you can hook up.

 

[Venom351R]

Better tires and more pratice and you can get 13's. 2.2 60' time is not that bad for street tires, you track must hook good.

 

[blksn955.o]

With a 94mph trap I dont know if you can break into the 13's. It has been my exp. that the 13.9 barrier gets broken at around 99-101mph depending on the 60ft in our cars. I would say mid 14's (looking at your cardomain page) should be had though...like 14.4-14.6.

Remember the AOD is going to hurt you at this point.

Since some AOD's run in the high 15's...a 14.8 is not bad. I got a best of low 1.9 on street tires and avged. 2.0 or so on street tires. It takes practice.

i bought a set of 15 inch mustang rims added some 275/50/15 G Force T/A Drag Radials to take care of the problem you are having and they work great. just trade out back wheels at the track...

I'm calling low-mid 14s with a 1.9ish 60ft.

I ran 14.03 @ 95.32 on my 'vert at the same track on a 1.920 60ft. Car weight 3,660 with me and a 1/4 tank.

WOW stangerbond ...nice 1/4 with that mph.

Frankly that is not the norm from what I have seen...but that does not mean it is impossible, great times...that is some drivin'. Is that 3,6xx with driver I assume?

I ran a 14.5 at State Capitol with stock 2.73's and a 2.3 60'. So you are capable of better times. I probably am too, just takes practice. But i also have a 5-speed, so the auto will hold you back some.

 

[trav_19]

if you got the aode let it shift itself and make sure that the od is off it lets the car shift later then if o.d. is on ... my bone stock car with a 180k on it with stock wires cap and rotor hahaha got a 15.2 its a auto on regular everyday tires so with sticky tires a good launch and the gear should help keep the car in the desired rpm range i think you should reach a very low 14 or high 13

 

[mustang_cab]

kick ass. i have been looking ever were since i got back from the track for some slightly used d/r's
