First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

Just getting around to posting this, sorry...

1st run on my 255/60/15 H-Rated Street Tires:

R/T: .069
60': 2.065
330: 5.626
1/8: 8.579
MPH: 84.04
1000: 11.125
1/4: 13.268
MPH: 105.05

I then begged my friend to let me make 1 pass on his 26x10.5 M/T ET Streets, that pass was:

R/T: .128
60': 1.754
330: 5.304
1/8: 8.277
MPH: 83.04
1000: 10.838
1/4: 12.996
MPH: 104.21

Needless to say i was happy i hit my goal ;)

Guys, one question, is the "norm" for cars with my mods?

i just put an Off Road X Pipe on today (had an off road H on at the time of run), wonder if that made a diff.. :confused:

Congrats on the times! And no, that is not the norm for a car with your mods. That's way fast for a stang with stock heads & cam. I turning 12.6s & 12.7s and I have the full heads/cam/intake combo. Good job man. I'm sure the drag suspension helped with your time, but have done anything to lighten your GT?

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

Thanks for the comments Simi :) The suspension can be a little more refined.. the springs arent that great for this combo, i believe the 4-cylinder springs are too low in the front to store any sort of energy, i believe they have been cut, i got them for 20 dollars from a local wanna-be mustanger... and the rear BBK springs are too stiff.. Im almost ready to switch the springs to Moroso Trick Drag Springs and install a Wolfe Racecraft Anti-Roll Bar.. hopefully that will drop my 60' a little (i was only launching at 3k in the 12.99 pass), as for lightening, it just has a few items deleted, the fog light bar, front sway bar, rear counter weight on the rear end, and of course the all important Weld Draglite wheels... (15x3.5/15x8)

Hope that helped :)

I never got my notch to a 1/4 strip before the motor expired, but I ran a 8.063 @ 84mph in the 1/8th on motor with the mods in my sig.

What were your 1/8th mile times?

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

1/8: 8.277
MPH: 83.04

i think could gain 2 tenths or more in the 8th with ported heads too ;)

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

They're not very ported at all, Just took the exhaust bumps out. :shrug:

What was your 60 foot? My car made shit for horsepower (209rwhp on a mustang dyno). It was all in the launch. 6250 launch ripped off a 1.65 60 foot.

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

if you scroll up and look at my original post, it has all my timeslip information, on both runs, street tires and ET Streets, with a 3k launch on ET Streets it went a 1.75.

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

sorry, I guess I'm going crazy, I didn't see that.

With a harder launch I think you've got some 12.70's in it.

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

my goal is 12.5 in the winter with a FEW more chassis upgrades :) Notice i said FEW! :)

Re: First time to the track with "sticky" Tires, got a new best w/ Stock Cam and Heads
 

Your 12.5 is very doable as I had an 85 notch stripped of all unnecessary weight, 92 block completely stock except for 1.72's, motorsport adjustable timing chain, mac shorty's, h-pipe, am. thunder, monroe formula gp's, eibach lowering springs ( built it for autocross) that did a 12.4 at Motorsport Nationals at Maple Grove. That was like 10 years ago on "I" patterns. Oh, 3.73 gears, 5 speed. Needless to say, one pass, no cage, the guy I sold it to never expected it to do that. Neither did I but what the heck, I needed the money.
