|  1/4 Mile Times Alright, with a stock mustang what kind of 1/4 times should I expect? My car has 2.73 gears, K&N Cone filter, Nitto NT-450 tires 225/50/16's, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and a King Cobra Clutch. Just the other day I beat my friend by half a car against his '76 FireBird with a 350sb. He runs constant 14.8's. I also beat my friend with a 1 car lead, and kept the 1 car on him the whole time, against his '88 Monte Carlo with a 400sb. He runs anywhere from 13.8-14.4 with it. My last question is how accurate are those G-Tech Performance meters? Those are the ones you can plug into your cigarette lighter and it tells you a whole bunch of stuff.

| Your car is a mid-high 14 second car. The G-tech gets the ET pretty close but the MPH are about 3 high. Later,

| My G-Tech is about .25 seconds and 5mph optimistic for the 1/4 mile. From what I hear on this board though, mine may be off more than most others. At near 100mph trap speeds, each car length is about .1 second ET. Rev

| Well I actually never hooked the G-Tech up to my car. Some kid where we meet had one and I was asking about it. He didn't really know alot about it. He said he just plugs it in, presses a button, and go's when it's set. Kinda weird he didn'ty know anything about them really, might've not been his. I was actually just wondering about that kinda time becuase I've never been to any drag strips, only runs on the street. My other 2 friends recently went to a strip about 2 hours away during the past couple weekends. I was just looking for something to compare it to. Anyways, I was just wondering what kind of time I should expect running my Stock Stang. Oh yes, 1 last question, say I run constant 15.00's with the 2.73 gears. Any idea what kinda time would drop off If i were using 3.73 gears? thanks again

| Lower gears are not always gonna knock off time right away. When my car was stock I went from a 15.2 to a 15.4 after I went to 3.73 gears. My mph improved but I had way too much wheel spin. After I got Nitto's though I dropped to a 14.9. Later,

| With my car stock I ran a 14.9 @ 93.3mph after 3.73's I ran a best of 15.2 @ 95.5mph but with slicks I got up to 13.9 @ 95.8mph very hard to launch with normal radials.

| When I fist got my car it had a cone K&N filter. Thats it, 2.73 gear, stock cat pipe, you name it. Got it to run a best of a 14.50 @95 and even got a 1.99 60 ft. But that was everything it had. Cant say much for the g-tech because i have never seen one. (probley a reason for that)

| Messing People Up Well anyways I've never been to a Strip anyways. I wanna just get out and see what it can do before I start doing stuff to it. We do have a 1/8 here, but the track is pretty messed up. Anyways, this car keeps suprising me more and more. I just raced my friend in his '86 Z28 Camaro. Auto, headers, 3.08's, K&N, no cats, flowmaster....lol just one..hehe, shift kit, pulleys, and I think that's all...oh..he went to a new MAF but still has the stock size. Anyways, we went to race, pulled over on the road, waited for the light. We got to race, but it was crap. We just got to the light like 5 secs before it turned green, and obviously he got the jump on me while I was trying to watch the other light, which was red when i looked up at it. I pulled massively on him in 2nd gear and ended up beating him by about a car length. I know it could've been more if i actually got a good start. You guys got any more tips for me? I've been launching at about..2300-2500 rpms and found that i get a really good launch at about 2300. Shifting at 5400, at least that's what the factory tach shows. And I don't powershift, kinda afraid I'd screw something up bad. Any tips would be appreciated.
