Car has a C&L cold air kit & dyno tune by RPM in Rohnert Park, CA. Wheel/tire combo are 17" Weld Aluma Stars with 17" M/T Drag Radials. Otherwise stock and full weight with original 3.55 gears.

http://jaybquick.com/Movies/12secrunin'06GT.mpg

It was a VERY UGLY day out at Sears Point/Infineon Raceway. After 4 hours that was my first and only run of the day due to NUMEROUS wrecks. The car hooked and bogged off the line so it has a 1.7-.8 60 foot time in it, which should result in a high 12.7-.8 pass as is.

Time slip reads:

Dial: 12.98
R/T: -.038 (redlight, 1 and only run)
60': 1.933
330': 5.448
660': 8.340
MPH: 84.95
1000': 10.836

1/4: 12.967
MPH: 105.55

Didn't want it to get burried in the other thread

I want to see your vid from that side/starting line Tony!

Posted by Mach1Pony (Member # 5435) on :

Nice video!! I'm glad Craig got it to you... I couldn't find your email.

Congratulations again on your 12 second run.

Now that you've conquered the 12's the next stop is the 11's, all you need is a blower!

FYI: I had to right click the link and use the "save target as" to play the video.

Ron, I'm getting greedy already. I think I can hit 11's with nothing but gears and a few bolt ons!

I look at it like this....... With the 1.93 60 foot time I ran a 12.96. That 60 foot time can EASILY come down to a 1.7-.8 with a higher launch, which will equate to a high 12.7-.8 pass, AS IS. Add the gears, and all the bolt ons, bingo, I'm there!

next month? damn.. you are tough to please tony. [Razz]

I will run 12s next monday!
My buddy will let me borrow his skinnies. Hopefully that will give me that .1 i need.

I do not wanna do a shorter intake and imrcs until i run 12s with just gears exhaust and cai. [Razz]

wow good run. there is a trailblazer ss up by you that ran a 13.02@105 with just intake, vector tune, pully and muffler change on stock tires and 4600 lbs lol that would be a good run for you.

576RWHP, lol. I'll add some pulleys and launch next time and it won't be fun for him/u [Cool]

yah pulley set should gain some. He installed the yank 3600 stall over the weekend and said truck rips real good now. I think hes going to sac this weekend.

Sweet 12.9 run what do the stangs run stock anyway mid to low 13s?

as for me my stock tranny gernaded after the 1/8 miles at sac. 7.41@94 was that 1/8 mile pass then 3rd just let go and 1.63 60 foot time on 275 40 17 MICKEY Thompson drag rads. Looks funny but it lets the truck rip out the hole. i wanted a short tire to get the truck off the line the best i could.

Does ford add a lot of torque managment also to the mustangs?? People are gettin 35-40rwhp with tunes on the trailblazer ss because gm made torque managment so bad the truck falls on its face with stock tune on shifts.

Sorry Jersey, I missed your only run where my camera's battery wasn't dead. I'll check the tape again but I'm pretty sure I lost track of all the cars and I missed your run. It will be better next time when you get into the twelves anyway.

Don, you know as well as I do it's a lot harder to take a car from 12's to 11's then from 13's to 12's.

If you consider cams, heads and intake bolt-on's... then I would agree.

My Mach has a C&L CAI, Off-road H-pipe, Magnaflow cat back, 4.30 gears, ET streets, stock tune and stock exhaust manifold. My best was 12.41@109 with a low 1.7 60ft. I don't think I have any chance of seeing an 11sec run unless I get into the engine or put a blower on. At this point I don't think I'm going to do either since the Tremec has blown up twice now with out a blower. There are a few more bolt-on's I am going to do but I'm just hoping for consistant 12.5's @ 108 on Wednesday nights and maybe a high 12.3 on a weekend event.

More power to you if you think an all motor 11sec run is possible with bolt-on's... your car better go on a serious diet!!

Stock they are running low 14's to VERY high 13's.

They do add torque management so that's a very good thing to get rid of right away. As for RWHP, the cold air kits and tunes "realistically" give you 20RWHP.

Sounds like you have an impressive vehicle!

Posted by need-a-motor (Member # 5415) on :

Hey Don,

Gears might get you to 12.5 if the tires will still hook hard enough for a 1.7, but it will take over 50rwhp to get to the 11's. I ran 11.90 with a 1.599 60ft and I still needed 113mph.

Good Luck,
Craig

I haven't seen anything in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords yet aobut an all motor 11 second run?

Don, maybe you should start your own Mustang Mag. to tell everyone how to get there cars to go that fast!

I like your car but I just don't think you are being realistic. But if you are going to do it, having a Mustang is a good starting point [Big Grin]

Oh shiat.. here we go.
i dunno Don, the gt500 wich is almost as heavy as your car went 12.30s, and that has a blower! [Eek!]

i'm sure you'll get mid 12s with just gears.
Good luck to you Bro. i really hope you can get it done.

i'm happy with where i'm at.
I gotto concentrate on working the tree now, the car seems to run pretty consistenly and i joined NHRA today and will be running points this year [Eek!]

Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :

I know it'll be tough so we'll have to wait and see. It won't happen this year.

I want to get the 93 out of storage and get that back as a daily driver. This Nissan is getting boring.....

Been there, Don. I have faith you can get the job done. More than one way to drop ET... [burnout]

Posted by Motorhead6T5 (Member # 4969) on :

Full bolt on 3v's with cams are in the 360-370 rwhp range. Thats every bolt on. CAI,throttle body,eliminate the plates in the intake. Long tubes + full exhaust , u/d pulleys,little bit of weight reduction and real slicks. Carbon fibre 1 piece drive shaft.cams and new springs. It will be expensive but I wouldn't say impossible.

People have been underestimating these 3v motors since day 1. These motors have variable valve timing and most people don't realise the potential that creates. You will not hit 11's without cams,you are gonna need the extra 30rwhp from the cams to beat the 12's.

Gt500 4150 race weight,he's about 3700 depending on how much he weighs. Its also front heavy with the iron block and blower.

You can, like I said though, due to funding, this will not be taking place for a while, BUT I WILL HIT THE 11'S WITH BOLT ONS ONLY, N/A.

No but I went 13.11 @ 106 with 25 psi in the tires.

Full bolt-ons,drag suspension,slicks and a diet will get you there. Mach's have done it , so why can't 05+ cars do it?
It's good to have goals in this hobby , it makes it that much more fun.

Also what hp levels does it take to get into the 12's

what was a great come back. Let me get back to you n monday night? [Wink]

Posted by need-a-motor (Member # 5415) on :

Hey Don,

You are really close to what Ron was running with the same mods. He will be adding more bolt-ons before you, so we will see how close he gets to 11's NA. I think that cams may be necessary as well. He'll probably get to 12.20 with ideal conditions and bias ply ET Streets without cams, but that last 2-3 tenths are going to be hard to come by without weight reduction and drag suspension.

Craig

Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :

Weight reduction will come in replacing the drive shaft with an aluminum piece, control arms and other stuff like that. CAr will not have stripped interior etc. I will run 11's and look just like it does now [Wink]

Posted by Mach1Pony (Member # 5435) on :

Craig is a little more optomistic then I am... 12.20's with a few more bolt-on's?... I don't think so. I did get close to the 12.30's with my 12.41 but that was a weekend event with ET bias ply tires and off-road "H" pipe. That's three things the car might not see again.

With the cops cracking down on smog violations I am probably going to put the stock "H" pipe back on. Also, I will be running drag radials instead of the bias ply tires. The only reason I would go to a weekend event is to try to better my best time and with the set up I will be running I don't believe that will be possible so there is no point.

I'm pretty happy with where my car is right now and if I can stay consistant in the 12.5's with drag radials, I will be perfectly satisfied (my feelings are subject to change). If in the future I can't keep up with the four cylinder cars, I will have to get a blower but for now I'm just trying to keep my new transmission in one piece.

why are you changing the ET streets? aren't those as consistent as you can get?
I wanna get a test run on the et drag radials. i might change later on too.. i'm getting sick and tired of swaping tires at the track.
I don't mind doing it on weekend events, but it's just a hussle on wednesday nights

Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :

I'm really not worried what the car will run. I got it to make a 12 second pass with only a cold air as power adders go.

Likely going to get some 18x10 & 18x9 Boyd Coddington Wheels for it next.

Took the car out last night and am really happy with the comfort of the ride and power when I floor it. Not going to rip this up like I do fox bodies of the past.

Thanks CAFords [patriot]

Yes, no doubt your cars performance is impressive (not to mention your driving)but ALL the mods contributed to your twelve second pass, not just the cold air. The main thing being the drag radials and the lightened rims up front for better weight transfer. Also, the Flowmasters are giving you more top end. You also told me you got 15hp out of the dyno tune... that's very impressive (kudo's to RPM).

It's too bad your first run was a throw away because I think you could have got deeper into the 12's with more runs. I think you should go out on Martin Luther kings birthday and run in the 12.80's

I wouldn't get too radical with mods this early on... wait out your warranty and when you do start modding, try to keep your street drivability.

My car is basically a driveway ornament until Wednesday nights. I figure if I keep my stock "H" pipe on and drag radials I can drive it on the weekends. Right now if I drive it on the weekend I have to change my tires and waste any 96 octane fuel in the tank for leasure driving. I also have to worry about getting pulled over for loud pipes and getting tagged for smog violations.

Ron, point is, the only "power adder" was the cold air intake. What is the tune "tuning?" RPM tuned Fords system. Didn't tune after new heads etc, just massaged what's already there so I don't think that's a power adder at all or a modification. Again, just massaging what's already there, not adding anything. The car is a pig with the Mach1k stereo in the truck, all power options available etc. I do feel I needed the wheels, which is why I paid what I did, but again, I didn't strip the seats, subs in the trunk, carpet etc. Car sits as I drive it on the street.

Look forward to seeing you out there Wednesday nights!

I think I'm going to have JohnB install the gears now that I've done what I set out to do [patriot]

Wonder how it'll hook Wednesday nights [Confused]

Yes, no doubt your cars performance is impressive (not to mention your driving)but ALL the mods contributed to your twelve second pass, not just the cold air.

You also told me you got 15hp out of the dyno tune... that's very impressive (kudo's to RPM).
Ron, point is, the only "power adder" was the cold air intake. What is the tune "tuning?" RPM tuned Fords system. Didn't tune after new heads etc, just massaged what's already there so I don't think that's a power adder at all or a modification. Again, just massaging what's already there, not adding anything. The car is a pig with the Mach1k stereo in the truck, all power options available etc. I do feel I needed the wheels, which is why I paid what I did, but again, I didn't strip the seats, subs in the trunk, carpet etc. Car sits as I drive it on the street.

Look forward to seeing you out there Wednesday nights!

I think I'm going to have JohnB install the gears now that I've done what I set out to do

Wonder how it'll hook Wednesday nights

Did the mufflers give you any power, or did they just make it sound better?

Mufflers ONLY CHANGE THE SOUND, stock mufflers flow VERY well on these cars.

Your tune increased the timing and probably took out the timing retard in between shifts. No nothing physically was added to your car but a tune is one of the best mods you can do to an 05 Mustang GT.

My point is that you saying the "cold air intake" is the only power adder to your car is not true.

BULLSHIT. The "power adder" is the cold air. The tuner isn't a power adder, it's massaging what's there from Ford.

LMFAO

Cold air intake is not a power adder dude...Turbo blower or nitrous would be considered a power adder.

Good numbers at the track for sure...Good luck on the 11s i think you will need some squirt or a blower though but good luck.

Nitrous is not forced induction. It is a power adder though. Turbos and blowers are considered power adders and they are forms of forced induction. Cold air intakes are just bolt ons they are not considered power adders. Same thing with headers. This of course is coming from the racing world. I dunno what other peeps call them.

I was referring to the cold air intake as a power adder as in, it is a bolt on that adds power to the vehicle.
