You obviously have no idea what a properly setup 4.6 dohc drag setup can do.

Your car runs what 14.7s or so. your not going to knock off 8-9tenths to get you deep into the 13s with DRs,Gears and converter in your car.

Why would I race a car weighing 4000#'s or more? I wouldn't. Doing the math I figure a low 12 on the bottle with an extra (22) 45# plates all over the car. I would probably need F-250 springs all around so that the tires wouldn't be resting against the wheelwells though. Then maybe I'd need some F-250 struts and shocks, and then I'd probably have to reinforce the unibody to handle all that weight. Eventually gets to be kinda pointless no?

I have run back to back 14.5 at Sac, shifting into 3rd gear right before the traps at close to 99mph on Kumhos launching off idle. I know what my car is capable off. I know of a 100% stock Mark VIII with only torque converter and 4.10 gears ran a 13.89. His engine is all stock, not even a K&N or any exhaust work.
I now have some decent Yohohama ES 100's on the car, new msd wires and copper plugs and going to be at Sac testing tomorrow. Hoping for 14.4 or 14.3 with a 2.1 60 foot.

How about what the driver is capable of? Car is only 1/2 the equation...

It doesn't take much skill to race a 4r70w car but with over 50 passes at the track I think i'm a pretty decent driver.

you could add an S-trim to everything you've said so far and still only scratch low 13's at the weight you're describing

You must be joking. Do you know how well a 4.6 DOHC responds to boost? There is a Mark VIII with a S-Trim running 6 pounds of boost running mid 12's on drag radials. He does have gears however.

On this site no one cares what you say, until you prove your self. Just ask 93pony. What you need to do is make your car into a 12 sec monster then they will all listen. Until then............
Sorry that is just the way it is on this site an others. You race a car no one else does, plus you talk about other fast Mark 8s all the time. ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif) Just my .02 not trying to flame.
BTW se you at the track, I want to check out your car. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

right, and there are people with VW bugs with more or less stock motors running 10's. Neither of which car is in question here! ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Don't presume to educate me on a ford motor, ok? ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Your stock 5.0 is not running a 13.5 1/4 mile.
Hddnos, you are right my car is running low 15's... with a 2.7 60 foot time. This is a Ford sight yet no one has any respect for a luxury sports coupe with a 4.6 dohc engine making 250rwhp and 260lbs factory stock? Not to mention you guys think stock a 5.0 with 180-190rwhp is faster? My friend's 2002 3.5 Altima maks 200rwhp stock lol.
