ok i did 2 runs yesterday that will tell you something

allright her is one of them

I rasied air pressure in my MT ET's and ran a 12.69@111 MPH


60ft time 1.906
next run i try to give it a bit more seeing as i got a better time slipping a bit off the line.

15.989@105.36 MPH

2.7 60 ft time
9.1 1/8th mile at 70 MPH
i burned the mt et's at 23 PSI half way down the track and still hit over 105

I missed 4th gear 2x running a 12.80 the car is strong i think that i need 3.73's or 3.96's to make up for my terrible 60ft'ers this is my daily driver and i try to conserve a bit on gas so i don't wanna go back to my 4.10's due to the power i put out.

the 4.10's i love but with street tires even traction with 3.55 is a problem.

[leebunnyz]

new gears will probably make you 60fts even worse...how high are you above sea level?

[Jucostud]

not enough to make for that slow of times! I'm sliding all over the track on 20" street tires with just bolt ons hitting a way better 1/8th than that! I've heard that 19psi is the magic number on those MT et's. I've never ran them, but my buddies run theirs at that psi.

[ia07gt]

yea but i bogg bad off the line at 17 psi 19 is a good number im gonna try some different stuff friday.

[Jucostud]

If you are bogging, that means you need to launch harder... not turn the psi up so you spin more!

[Mickey]

you should be hitting high 11s if not better with those numbers....keep practicing

[Emay]

Go to a 3.73, but that's not your problem, your actual launch is the issue. Take the mt's down to 17-18 lbs, and leave hard. 3800 or better, nothing less. Those mt's should have no issue holding that, and your bog should be gone.

[ia07gt]

so go with 4 grand launch with 3.73's i should be at the right spot.

[2006greyGT]

stock clutch? that will be your next mod... I was gonna put a stage 3 in anyways but mine was about to go before th build... and I was only putting 455 to the ground

[silverstang]

hell i run close to those times with my bolt on car, so your launch MUST be your problem. the M/Ts can hold your car, i run 17 to 19 psi (depends on time of day, heat, etc) and launch my car HARD at about 6k and it can still hook.

[ia07gt]

yea this clutch will need to lasy another month the only thing im worrie about is that factory 2 piece

[06RedfireGT]

What's your suspension setup like?

[ia07gt]

stock only mod is BMR LCA's

[06RedfireGT]

The best thing to do then is to drop the pressure in those MTs and give her hell.

[ia07gt]

LMAO that is what i was thinking im a lil scared to do it but i guess that is what my POS chevy blazer is for, backup.

i need to buy a new ball joint for my driverside and do some more mods anyway. plus i got a camera crew friday so i will be sure to post more video on my myspace.

I should make sure a friend has a trailer friday up there with him.

the point i try to make here is that the stang is super strong in the top the numbers can dramatically improve down low.

[psycho bob]

I was cutting 1.7? 60's with my et streets at 15psi and i'm powerless almost. just a jlt and tune w/ a bit of suspension.

[Jucostud]

so you got a 15.9 in the quarter and you think you were better up top? not so fast my friend... you got a 9.1 1/8th mile time which means you should of gotten somewhere in the high 13's to low 14's... you actually got worse up top.

[ia07gt]

i didn't hook up till i was halfway down the track 3500 i start making more power than a stock gt at 5700 rpms .

I know where um lacking and it is at the 60 ft times and 1/8 mile
i made up over 35 mph in the last half.
