![]() Went out to Sacramento Raceway for Mustang Madness to run my car for the first time after swapping an '03 Cobra motor and tranny into my '00 GT. Only bolt-ons are JBA shorties, Magnaflow catted X-pipe, and K&N CAI. I recently got an SCT Xcalibrator with a tune from Modular Depot to fix some issues I was having. I'm still running the 4.10 gears and solid axle out back. The tall 1st and 2nd in the T-56 work just fine with the 4.10s. On street tires my best run was 12.59@116 with a 1.99 60-ft time. I just babied it out of the hole from about 1500 rpm slipping the clutch a little and then hammered it when it got rolling. Surprisingly with this technique on the street tires the 60-fts were incredibly consistent - all between 1.99 and 2.05.
Looks like I need to beef up the rear end and put in a cage if I want to run some stickies. I'm expecting 11.7 or 11.8 with slicks and a good launch. It was a fun day - I got 5 runs in (2 dial-in, 3 eliminations), and chalked up a win against a Pantera DeTomaso. The guy was dialed in at 15.00 (this was a real Pantera with pontential to run much faster) and he would just baby it to half-track and wheel race you to the finish line. I ran a 12.597 on a 12.60 dial-in and broke out but he saw me coming hard and got on it too much and I chased him off the big end and he ended up breaking out by .6 seconds so I got the win!
