I hit Test & Tune this weekend. Just got home. The place was packed. Took over 5 hours to get everyone 4 runs. I hit my personnal best times this week on Wednesday night. Then this Saturday I beat them [burnout]

60FT: 1.90
ET: 12.30
MPH: 113.91

I launched at 4K and still bogged. The track was hooking very well today. Them Nitto's wanted more, but ran out of track time [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

As yuo can see I AM STOKED [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Congrats. What is your exact combo? How much boost?
 
Posted by My01Stang (Member # 1044) on :
 
This is what I have. there is still more let in her [Big Grin]

Vortech S-Trim, 10-12lbs of boost, AFM Power pipe, 80mm C&L, 38lb injectors, Spearco intercooler, Bassani O/R X-Pipe, MagnaFlow mufflers, autologic chip, and Nitto's. Everything else is stock [Big Grin]

Cool combo. Sounds similar to TRY2PAZ's old 99 GT vert.

Yep, He has the mark that I'm shooting for. The car bogged when I launched, but with some more practice I should be in the 11's. It's only my second time at the track with this combo [Big Grin]

Hey my01stang... yea i saw you out there wednesday you sound good and looked strong but it looked like traction was the only thing holding u back.. congrats on the sat.. times ...

that's pretty impressive, especially on nittos. i myself didnt run so great... 13.79 was my best, but i did manage to trap 104 twice. i need to relearn how to launch then head back up. i think my car likes the front swaybar on

BINGO! I saw your low 12's run today, good shit! But your traction or should i say lack there of was showing throughout the day. I say go with e.t. streets and see what times you get [Big Grin] .

Believe it or not...Traction was good, Driver sucked [Smile]

Hehe that makes more sense, i was just trying to put it in a better way. 1.9 60's not too bad though, but with 1.7's you would probably be sailin.....what was your reaction?

Today I wasn't worried about reaction time, just bringing my 60' time down and going as fast as I can [Big Grin]

I was pretty amazed my car performed pretty well today too. Better than I expected anyways, I'm thinking now a motor 11 is just a few clean powershifts away...

60' 1.699
1/8 7.736 @ 89.284
1/4 12.125 @ 112.925

what a PITA, my first run was at 1:40 PM. Got there at 10:30 AM [Mad]

nope, i got screwed over again with my luck of planning to go to the track. about a week and a half ago my lug nuts on one of my back wheels stripped off the axle and the wheel flew off, car bottomed out. Now im 2grand in damage and need new rims, so im waiting to get all that fixed, find some cobra r's, and hopefully be at the show saturday. great aint it [Roll Eyes] .

elwin do you have gears?that's a great time im shocked get some 3.73's if you don't have any don't get 4.10's too much gear for a power adder,and slicks there's your 11 second e.t
 
Posted by My01Stang (Member # 1044) on :
 
281: The time is with stock gears. I haven't changed much other than handling, vortech and exhaust. I'll be heading out to the track Wednesday nite weather permitted. Hope to see you out there one nite.
