I have a 5speed 87 mustang GT With 125,000 Miles on it. I am curious if anyone can give me a idea of about what my 1/4 mile time will be.. I'm only 16 and not able to get to the Dragstrip.

Painless - Complete EFI wiring harness for mass air conversion
BBK - shorty headers, off road h-pipe
Flowmaster - 40series mufflers
BBK - Cold air induction (fenderwell) with K&N
BBK - Underdrive pulleys
A.C. elimator pulley (with shorter belt)
Ford Racing - 2row racing radiator
Pro-flow - 15" Electric fan
MSD - 6A Ignition with Blaster 2 coil
Spec stage 3 clutch
Steeda tri-ax shifter
3:73 gears

I am looking into getting 100shot of nos.. How much quicker will that get me?

I remember seeing something on a site where you can put in your horsepower and total car weight and it would give you an estimate on 1/4 mile speeds. I just can't think of it right now. Damn it, I need to quit sniffing glue!

I would say 14.5-14.7....because you have the stock gear. If 5spd. get a 3.73 and some drag radials and you could go low low 14's.

all depends on the driver...check out 25thmustang....he drove a 12.6 on a stock motor with gt40 valves, gears, and pullies

if you're going through the traps and you're running 96-100mph you can score a low 14 with that stock gear.

assuming you shift relativley good, what you'll want to concentrate on most is your short times.

after your first run, when you do run.... check the 60' time, lets say you get a 2.4xx, thats bad.
next run change it up, on my track if you're not bracket racing, your 60' shows up on the boards while you're in the run, thats how i rate my run while i'm still driving my car, and seeing a good 60' makes me feel even better and i usually do better.

remember somtimes less power can yield a better 60'
try different things, if you can get a 2.0 or 2.1 you can score low 14s with a trap up and near 100mph.
