How fast ??

Mustang_289 · 08-29-2002, 06:43 AM

Well - our project car will be heading to the local track, to give my 17-year old a taste of straight line racing. The local track is an 1/8 mile and bracket racing.

What do you guys think our car can do in the 1/8 and 1/4 miles with these first step mods?

MAC Long-tube headers and hi-flow catback setup, underdrive pullies, CenterForce dual-friction clutch, BlackMagic fan. Everything else is pure stock.

Next mods will be to the rear 3.73, EastonPosi, 31spline axles. Over the winter convert to MAF, heads, cam, intake change.

Forgot to mention - it's an 88GT

My guess would be a 14.8 @ 94.

My buddy has an 88 GT and that's about where he was with similar mods.

Makes a huge difference, but I didn't notice if you said if it was a manual or stick....

Thanks,

Low 14's

it's a 5-speed. Took my son out yesterday to an old abandon parking lot to get him a little practice with launches. Man this really is a blast with this project car with him!

i'd probably say mid 9's in the 1/8

I think You could hit a 9.4 in the 1/8, maybe a 9.3.

I ran a 15.19 @88mph @3000ft when my 88GT vert was stock.
