why is my car so slow...

Killercanary · 04-24-2001, 11:05 PM

I'm assuming you ran it at Keystone? I run my car there (I was at ever test and tune this season so you may have seen me) and at Englishtown NJ, my mph at englishtown, which is near sea level, was about 0.8mph quicker than at Keystone if it helps.

Is this Dave from ASAP mustangs in Allison Park? If not, he has a 94 or 95 Cobra and he runs something like 14.2-14.3's at around 97-98mph and he has gears and exhaust though I can't remember what kind, and he runs out at Keystone regularly. His Cobra is black and has an ASAP sticker across the windshield. Where did you have your car dyno'd at? I had mine done at ASAP, and I dyno'd 188RWHP in 3rd gear, which is about 235RWHP in 4th, so I'm assuming you should have more RWHP than you have, as Dave had 199RWHP in 3rd gear if memory serves me right. What is your timing at? You don't want to shift any higher than 5300 at max with your car. Are you going to Keystone this thursday, I will be there and will be glad to try to help you out if I can. Send me an email at killercanary@hotmail.com

BTW- my 95 GT convert ran 14.5-14.6 at 94.89mph with just 3.73's, bassani offroad X pipe, 2 chamber flowmaster mufflers, 14* timing, and underdrive pulleys- my car also weighs in excess of 3700lbs with me and I did this at Keystone. Come to the track this thursday and we'll see what we can do to help you. Look for me in my yellow convert', I'll be there with my dad and his white 91GT and my cousin with his red Kenne Bell SC 94 GT.
