New Times From Da Rock
 

5 Mustangs and a Hot Rod Lincoln made the 4.5 hour treck to Rockingham NC from Princeton WV for the Civil Wars. It was a great weekend for all!

At Bristol, my 88 Lx (3:08, BBK Shorties Mac X & Cat back, and pullies) had run 14.2 @ 96 mph. Over the winter I added a tfs cam, gt-40 U&L, 65 mm Tb, and converted to mass air a-9l. I then blew the tranny and added a tremec.

At the Rock (which is much closer to seal level than Bristol) I turned a best of 13.645 @ 104.61. I had a 2.292 60 ft and went thru the lights in 3rd at 6300-6400 rpm. We were haulin on top end.

Question 1. I have 3:55's ready for install, how do you think they will affect my times?

Question 2. My 60 ft times have slowed .1-.2 since Bristol. Do I attribute that to more hp or to the 1st gear ratio of the tremec? I run Yoko 255/50/16's?

Also, look out for a Champagne 1988 Lsc. That baby went 12.05 @ 113 thanks to trick flow heads and kenne bell. Thats at 3960 lbs.

I would say its the power you Have the the tires you have... I have the same thing I am slower Take off than I was all I do it Rip the tires it seems like if I try to give it gas.

Stangrunner, just slow down, and pace yourself. LOL. ;)

I saw the Lincoln run and all I can say is, I bet he surprises quite a few people on the street with that car.

well i hope to hit the track SUN!!!!!

The 3.55s will help greatly. Maybe .2 ???

I would think your making torque higher in the RPM band which could contribute to that also.

My friends went to the Rock. My friends 88 Coupe, which tag reads 1QUIK LX..from Va ran. All motor 308 it ran a 11.7 @ 115. \

Nice times BTW..i would have my hands full with you in my LS1.:)

Thanks for the kind words. I remember your friends ride, it was qiuck, but I did not realize it was all motor.

The 3:55's should go in Tues and I will run either an 1/8 track or Bristol within the month.


I raced a couple of Lx's with et streets and was more than 6mph faster on top end, that 105 felt good. Would love to run your ls1 sounds like it would be real tight on top end.
