Decent times?
 
I ran my AOD Conv for the first time last week, and with my combination of BBK Headers, off-road H-pipe, 2 Chamber flows, underdrive pulleys, kennybrown subframes, MAC cold air induction, 3.73's, tranny cooler and a transgo shift kit, i ran a 14.24@97.6.

For those mods with a AOD convertible, those are amazing times.

Thanks,

those are good times now to really put some go into it get a 125 hp nitrous kit.

Dark_5.0 09-01-2002 05:15 PM

Those are solid times for your car:) ............I would of guessed it to run a 14.45 @95mph.

Those are great times for a near stock vert!! What was you 60' times? Did you run at Lebanon? I'm going up there in a few weeks to see what my car can pull off.

i ran an identical time of 14.2 at 98 mph last year. I believe we have the same set up except mine is a standard. I dont have any sub frame connectors though. Do you think any suspension things done will decrease 1/4 mile times? I am completely stock suspension wise.

PS Im waiting to use my 80 hp shot of NOS soon. Hopefuly I will reach mid 13's!

Absolutely, suspension is very important in quarter times. Start with some control arms and then go with some better springs and shocks. Lose the front sway bar too. Good luck

Agreed! ...and that is a very good ET for your mods, not to sound redundant or anything ;)

And what was your 60ft. btw?

TwiLighTBluEGT 09-02-2002 12:56 PM

Hey HiFlow, I saw you driving your car yesterday on North Main ST in E. Longmeadow I think.

HiFlow5 0 09-02-2002 04:35 PM

TwiLighTBluEGT, why yes, yes you did. I saw a black GT going the other way, were you in there?

TwiLighTBluEGT 09-02-2002 07:37 PM

No, my GT is a two tone blue/grey conv. I was getting out of my car at big y, heading into work and i saw your car driving and then turn right on the street where Jiffy Lube is. I'm pretty sure it was your car.

TwiLighTBluEGT 09-02-2002 07:45 PM

My best 60ft time was 2.24 or somewhere in that range i believe. On my first run, . It was a 14.62@95.8, but that was because I was a little nevious being my first time at the track and I didn't shift good at all. My best run, I did the 1-D-1 shift and I managed to pull off a 14.24@97.6. Don't ask me how I did. Lucky I guess. I was kind of shocked myself, and so was my friend. Oh and I forgot to mention in my first post that I also have 70mm mas air, 30lb injectors, a 65mm throttle body, and an electric fan. So those little mods probably helped a bit :-)

1jimmy__d 09-02-2002 09:11 PM

I have my actual times from the slip here. I ran a 14.204 at 99.77 mph. My short time was 2.302. Do these times sound good with stock suspension and everything listed in my sig? What is the cheapest suspension mod to do first that will help ET times? Thanks!

fiveohpatrol 09-03-2002 12:49 AM

30lb injectors on a nearly stock car? rip those things off as soon as you can!

Unless you have your fuel pressure turned WAYYYYYYY down then your car has to be running extremely rich. I pretty much guarantee quicker ET's with stock injectors back on there. (dont forget you need a stock calibrated mass air sensor too)

nonetheless, those are absolutely amazing times considering your mods and expecially that horrible 2.24 60ft time. Get that thing down to the 1.9-2.0 area and you'll see atleast 13.9's

1jimmy__d, i'm not sure if they count as suspension, but a set of slicks will be by far the cheapest mod to help your ET. Every 1 tenth better in the 60ft is ATLEAST 2 tenths better in the 1/4. Some will argue that nitrous is the biggest bang for the buck, but if you cant put that extra power to the ground then whats the point?

my advice is to get slicks AND nitrous, and shoot for 12's! :D

TwiLighTBluEGT 09-03-2002 01:25 PM

Yeah the car does run kind of weird.... But its FAST! Mustangs Unlimited told me "I HAD" to have 30lb injectors in order to have my 70mm Mass air. Is there a way to re-calibrate the mass air so it will work with my stock 19lb injectors???

HiFlow5 0 09-03-2002 02:29 PM

Mustangs Unlimited said that? Are you running the Motorsport meter? I have a Pro M and am still using the stock 19 lbers. The Motorsport meter only comes in 30 lb form from Mustangs Unlimited, so thats probably why they said that.

TwiLighTBluEGT 09-03-2002 02:33 PM

Yeah I am running the motorsport meter. How are you running the Pro M and still using 19lbs?????

fiveohpatrol 09-03-2002 04:11 PM

Pro-M's and most aftermarket mass air meters can be calibrated for any size injector you wish. I'm not sure if the one you have can be re-calibrated or not.

bigblockcoupe 09-03-2002 05:09 PM

YEA YOU CAN SEND IT TO THEM AND THEY CAN RECALIBRATE IT FOR YOU THE PRO-M IS CALIBRATED THROUGH THE ELECTRNICS ON TOP WHILE OTHER BRANDS LIKE C&M USE DIFFERENT SAMPLE TUBES FOR CALIBRATION.
