Bracket Racing Advice
 
I have a 95 Mustang GT, automatic, 3:27 grs. I have made the following up grades:

Underdrive pulleys,
H-Pipe
Flow-Tech Headers 1 5/8" and 2 1/2" outlets
K&N Filter
Removed the screen from breather box
Electronic shift kit
Transmission filter and temp guage

I haven't had any runs at track since headers and h-pipes. I'm thinking that I'm going to have trouble hooking up. I have the Z rated 17" tires.

I did some Friday night bracket racing last season. I would welcome advice from experienced bracket racers.

If you are going to drag race it will be best to hook-up. So you will need to get softer tires if you don't. Most important parts of bracket racing are reaction time and consistency. So you need to find a way of cutting a .500 to .550 reaction time and then also run as close to possible to your dial-in. Do everything the same each run(leave on the same light, from the same spot, same rpm,etc.) and keep your car the same each run( same tire press.,same water temp,etc.).

You have to have traction to run consistant, The tree takes practice I have a pretty good feel for it and usually pull between a .500 and a .620....
