You were spinning one tire, you can get the FMS rebuild kit for it, or use your old trac lock. You could also buy an aftermarket unit...

Also, I really do think that your alignment is keeping you from trapping at 107, get it aligned and you will notice a difference

thanks.. so the rebuild kit would be enough? i was looking at posis yesterday and they were darn expensive. over 400 bucks

Well, I had a good day at the track. Eventhough I red-lit in the third round I still went home happy with my best ET to date.

I just put new exhaust on the Mach1 the previous weekend...(MRT off-road H-pipe and Magnaflow cat-back system - all 2.5" stainless steel). So, I wanted to beat my best time of 12.70 @ 106.32. I was hoping for low 12.6's. It was looking promising after my first run, 12.75 @ 107.33, when the car was hot and I didn't get any traction off the line. So for the second run, the engine was cool and I dropped the pressure to 13psi in the ET Streets and pulled off a 12.41 @ 109.11!!!! I thought they made a mistake on my time slip so I had to make sure it was my number on it... it was! I got a 12.50 the next round on the brakes to keep from braking out. I wish I knew how much my stock exhaust was holding my back sooner.

Hey Jersey, where's a picture of my car? I guess you only take pictures of Fox Body Mustangs now huh? I see how it is.

Tony, you need to get some sticky tires on that thing. You could have been running low 11's.

Anyway, it was nice meeting you guys.

Take it easy.

Mach1Pony,

your Mach 1 is really fast for just bolt ons. Do you still have the stock gears? I saw it launch a couple times and it looks wicked, what are your 60 foot times like in the 1.6 range?

---

Thanks guys.

1fast281, I do not have the stock gears in anymore. My best with stock gears and drag radials was a 12.86 @ 105. I replaced the stock diff with a FRPP 31 spline 4.30 trac-loc and FRPP 31 spline axels. I think the 4.30 was the most significant modification. I now run ET Streets and usually get mid 1.7 60fts. My best 60ft was on the 12.41 run where I got a 1.71 60ft. I have never been into the 1.6's. I think the stock suspension is holding me back. I think I'm going to disconnect my front sway bar and see if it makes a difference. Vince has always impressed me with his 60fts... He was able to pull off a 1.5 on the ET Drag Radials and stock suspension! His poor half-shafts must hate him.

Jersey, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Yes, I believe all three of us got our best times last Sunday. The track is always faster on weekend events. Mainly because there is no headwind and sometimes it's even a tail wind.

I have 4.30's myself and i'm starting to think I should have went with 4.56's because i'm still not at the end of 3rd gear in the 1/4 mile. At least they are better than my stock 3.27's... Are you shifting at 7000? I seem to get the best times shifting at 6600rpm but I still have the stock 4V Mark VIII intake manifold.

Ron, I guess the LOW ASS times just run in the family.......... Is there some book to this that you and Craig are keeping from the rest of us
