Latest ¼ mile times

Well they were just as slow as before, but I'll let everyone have a look anyway.

The weather was less than optimal; 70° F, 56% Humidity, 30.01 inPa, and a headwind of 20.7 mph (ghusts up to 29.9). On the bright side, if I can learn to cut a light, bracket racing would be a piece of cake.

_______Run 1____Run 2
R/T_____.991_____.729
60'_____2.344___2.350
1/8_____10.195__10.200
MPH____70.62___69.90
1000___13.228__13.221
1/4_____15.804__15.803
MPH____87.85___87.67

Car setup: stock engine and AODE, timing 14° advanced, 4.10 gears, ford "c" springs, tokico illumina shocks/struts, flowmasters (stock exhaust otherwise), and a fresh tune-up. Tires are ~3000 mile Kumho 245/45/ZR17's.

Well what do you think? Off-road H pipe, lower control arms, etc...
I don't want to mess with the engine too much as I have a 351W sitting in my garage that I will be building up eventually.

Man, you should be faster than that. Was your car spinning bad? Well, have you tried higher timming? I ran my car with about 16* when it was basically stock. If I were you I would put a shift kit in the tranny and then get a good stall converter. Those should get you either into the 14's or damn close. An off road H pipe is a good idea too. If you were spinning, then you will really spin with a converter so you should get some tires that will grip the track. Hope this helps man. Good Luck.

2.3 second 60ft time!

get that around 2.0 and you'll take atleast a half second off your time. Probably more.

Theres something else wrong too, because my dad used to have basically the same car (95GT AOD-E) but it even had stock gears, 3.08's i believe. I took it to the track a few times, got like 2.2 60fts and cut 15.40's on very hot nights. The only "mod" was a K&N, hell the timing wasn't even touched.

something just isnt right, I'd do a compression check on it, and maybe even a dyno tune

good luck with it,

i agree.

When my maf sensor was dirty and i was only pushing out 145 to the tire hp wise and 197 torque, i ran a 16.2 with a 2.3 60 at 85 mph.

I cleaned the sensor and dynotuned and i got 14.4 at 96mph with a 2.2 60foot. I am also pushing 215 hp and 281 torque to the tire and i just have small bolt ons. I would suggest the offroad h and pullies and to hit the dyno. My car has the same stuff as yours only i have headers/off road h and a CAI along with pullies. 95 vert aode gt with a shift kit.
