Stock 1/4 mile run times...

xxxBlakexxx · 03-18-2004, 08:10 PM

My stock stang ran mid to low 14's using a g meter at about 97 mph. With current mods (less my chip as I have not checked with it and I sent it back for re-promming) 14.1 at 99 mph. Times will vary a lot depending on altitude and weather. My best 60 ft time has been 2.1, since then my tires needed to be replaced and I have not checked on new tires (weather has not been good).

The cold air/mass air question will go on longer than any of our cars will be around. Which is better? Who really knows? With cold air, the air must make a bend from the fenderwall. This HAS to result in some sort of decreased air flow. With "mass air" the air runs from under the hood, but runs straight in...no bends but warmer air. Which makes more horse power, I think is like splitting hairs.

In my opinion, running from under the hood is probably more consistent as it is not affected as much by ambient temps. I went this route.

Want cold air and a big bang, then run nitrous. Besides adding air, nitrous drops the temp of the intake air by a bunch. The lower temps are responsible for part of the gain. Hey for $550, you can get a great entry level, safe nitrous kit. Add 25 - 150 HP at the flywheel depending on which nozzle you use.
