AOD to T-5 conversion ET improvement anyone?
 

i recently converted my car over to a T-5 and it does feel quite a bit quicker, has anyone here done the swap and found a before and after 1/4 ET? i've heard up to a half second but im not gonna get too optimistic about it and get disapointed when it only gets a tenth or 2 faster, i know it launches a hell of alot better, i'll have 275/50 15 nitto drag radials when i go, so if i can even cut a 1.9 or 2.0 60ft then it should go atleast 13.50's or better

I would say thatyou will run at least a half a second quicker (If you can drive a 5 speed good) http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

I say half a second if you auto tranny is stock if you have a stall converter and a shift kit then a will say a tenth or two but if your auto is stock then half a second.

GOOD LUCK http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

well i went to the track last night, my best at this track was a 14.08 @99, i did get the drag radials but i didnt have the time to learn how to get a good launch on them so my best 60ft time was a 2.17, i ran a best of 13.76@101.4, so comparing track to track it's a little more than 3 tenths quicker, i know its got atleast a 13.5 or better in it when i get the 60ft times down under 2.0, im happy for now
