[QUOTE]Originally posted by Displacement_Replacement: [QB] My time was 13.64 @ 104.87 on street tires. I only had two runs that night, first time my boost messed up bad and I could not get above 3000 rpm so I don't count that run. The next and final run I did the 13.64. Take this for what its worth, but the #'s I did are just about stock levels with a good driver. I know we are talking about MY car here, but I will also tell you that others with my car and similar mods are running 12's easily. some run high 11's with NITTO's on that setup, but thats not the norm. Most are running low to mid 12's. I will find out for myself, but if I can get a 2.0 or less 60' according to the others I will be in the 12's. I ran a 2.22 60 when I did the 13.64. I have not been to the track enough to concentrate either. Did you run your best time the first run you ever did? You guys should know I respect mustang drivers alot, you guys go to the track more than anyone, so I'm not flaming any of you. My other problem is Wheel hop. I know that the first 60' is key to the 60, especially in my car being a twin turbo. I don't know how to launch my car without wheel hop, unless I feather the clutch. I am looking into some toe links and trailing arms that greatly reduce it. So those are the issues I am dealing with. If I get serious wheel hop, my PPF will break (power plant frame). Sort of off topic, but I never respected drag racing till I did it. I still don't know what I launched at when I got that 13.64, its hard to hold the RPMs without moving, watch the light, keep an eye on my gauges and all the distractions. The other issue I have? I don't know what RPM I am shifting at. I need to shift at 7200, if I goto 8100 I waste engergy, if I shift at 6000 I miss my max HP range. The only thing I know , one time I redlined because my speakers beeped loud. In the end I have alot of time I will shave off that. If its a cool day tomorrow I expect a decent time. If its hot, well....u know. David [/QB][/QUOTE]
