sLOW OUT OF THE HOLE, WHAT TO DO.

74NOVA · 05-13-2005, 09:28 PM

I have an 88 maf stang with an aod and flowmasters and nitto drag radials and no other performance mods. When I first to it to the track with rotted mufflers I went 9.9 in the 1/8 with a 2.2 60ft. I went to the track last night ran a 10.2 and 2.3 60ft then it kept getting slower and slower out of the hole by the 4th run I ran a 11.1 and 2.44 60ft. It didn't matter how long the burnout was either. What could be happening.? When it hits 3000 rpm its fine, and on the street it doesn't feel this sluggish.

Try A Gear In Your Rear End That Will Help You Can Get One For Cheap On Ebay Bout $50-$100 An As For Your Slower Times I Imagine Its Because The Old Holly Mufflers Where Like Running No Mufflers But Now With Flows It Slows It Down A Little..............

NEED A STALL CONVERTER!

your AOD plain sucks without one. along with that, a nice shiftkit and a 4.10 gear would definetly wake the car up.

2 words. Weather. Gears! Weather has alot to do with it, the particular "tune" the car is in will change during the night. That's more than likely why it kept slowing down as the night progressed.

Gears! Throw some 3.73's in there, or some 4.10's and "Let's get it up!" Don't fear the gear.
