So I finally got the Mach out to the track tonight for the 1st time since I have had my mods & had the heads rebuilt...

Here are the results... Not bad for a noob I guess LOL...

I am pretty pleased with the results for my 1st time out. I am a little disappointed with the trap speed, but the E/T I am happy with. The 60 ft could be better, but not too bad IMO for having stiff road race oriented suspension with no weight transfer. Each run got progressivly better as time went on...

Congrats on the new best.

I think you need to work on the 60' time though...

Havent actually raced on the track for some time either, does the reaction time effect the total time? Cause if it does then you can definitely get that time lowered.

Thanks guys... The 60 ft times could be better, but remember I have launched on slicks a total of about 9 times in my life, & this was the 1st time out in this car. Plus, the car has no weight transfer whatsoever with 325 lb Bilstein/MM coilovers & all "road race" suspension...

Reaction time doesn't matter unless you are racing someone, but I was more or less just trying to concentrate on my launch... The clock doesn't start until you leave the line...

I have & will again. My best time was a 12.9 @ 110 in the notch, but that was with a horrible 1.9 60 ft... I will be out in the notch again soon, & will be shooting for low 12's...

Dustin, great job!

Those aren't bad numbers for someone with your level of experience. Few things:

- 1.685 60ft for the first time out is impressive with the suspension you have. I do think at your power level, the car is capable of 1.59s with a higher launch (question is whether the suspension will allow it)

- 106.2-107.23mph... 309/323 would suggest that you are missing a couple mph in there. You can pick up 1mph from a set of skinnies, but my guess would be that you should be in the 109-110mph range. I'm sure with more seat time, adjusting your shift points, and better air, you will do just that. Have you weighed the car and compared it to the fox?

I'm also interested to see the video to see what flavor of Subway sandwich you are whipping up [Wink]

Like cstangs said the track was hooking pretty hard for slick guys, and I don't see how the air could have gotten any better, it was perfect last night! And he wasn't power shifting, but the sammichs were being made, he did good! I agree the mph is down for a DOHC car. I know his tune is on the ridiculous side of conservative tho. Reguardless, great times for first time on slicks n such. It was a good night for sure!
