went to track

88Saleen · September 29th, 2008, 04:11 PM

hey went to the track friday night, ran a 14.0. first time doing it, thats to explain my 1.2 sec reaction time. didnt hook up much 2.3 60ft. each time i shifted into second the tires would break loose for about five seconds, and my posi was not working, but fixed it saturday. going to the track this saturday again, anyguys in mid michigan im going to Lapeer international raceway. hopeing to break into the mid 13's but im not getting any better tires just hoping i can get a lot better reaciontime and with both tires turning a lil more traction

93mustank · September 29th, 2008, 04:35 PM

Whats the combo?

88Saleen · September 29th, 2008, 04:39 PM

edlebrock top end kit, dont have cam specs i bout the car the way it is. 3.73 gears, full exhaust, CAI, 70mm throtle body.. ect nothing to crazy made 240hp and 265tq at the wheels. i just took off all of the compnents for AC, Air Pump, and EGR, think i have and a vacume leak this whole time cause it idles a lot smother than it did. getting a larger fuel pump, injectors with MAF, and fuel press regulator, would like to tune it and achieve about 300hp with the combo. also need some better hook outback, not sure what im going to do yet

Chris951 · September 29th, 2008, 04:43 PM

your torque seems a little low

GoodOleBoyzRacin · September 29th, 2008, 06:42 PM

throw some drag radials on the stock wheels

flattusmaximus78 · September 30th, 2008, 09:08 AM

Those numbers are really low. Are you on stock injector and maf? If so get some 24 pounders, 255 walbro, nice maf. Hows the car run?

Do reaction times figure into your 1/4 times? I heard you could wait at the lights for a long time and the time wouldn't start until you moved? Have I been completely BSed here?

r/t doesn't matter

flyin ryan · September 30th, 2008, 04:30 PM

Don't worry about the tree.. sit there and go when your good and ready it won't effect your 1/4 time.

Purchase some dr's because a stock fox mustang has issues with traction so one with a top end kit plus is going to be a waste of time at the track with out good tires.

Your numbers seem really low... that kit requires a larger fuel pump and should be around the 300hp range already which means you should upgrade your injectors to 24lb's

93hatch · September 30th, 2008, 04:37 PM

dude i put down that much tq and only 14 less hp with explorer parts and a cracked spark plug, ur numbers are way off

88Saleen · October 3rd, 2008, 04:04 PM

ok sorry its been a while, my comp took a crap and im at my parents for the weekend. so yeah i know my fuel system is stock and needs upgrades. that is next in the list. im looking at making 300 with f/p, injectors, and maf.

-Joeyy- · October 3rd, 2008, 04:13 PM

dont stock 5.0's come 290 trq stock? how did he manage less then that?

thats at the crank

mustank..97 · October 4th, 2008, 04:50 AM

Those numbers seem really low for what you have.

88Saleen · October 4th, 2008, 08:04 PM

heres and up date for track info

.889 reaction time
2.0 60ft
13.475@104mph

and the reason my hp and tq numbers are so low is because the stock fuel system. my fuel pump is going out as we speak, whining is what its doing. and i have stock MAF/fuel injectors and no fuel press regulator. so once i do those i should be close to 300 when i get done tuning and have the right fuel delivery.

93hatch · October 4th, 2008, 08:07 PM

not a bad time, get a walbro 255lph fuel pump, 99 bucks free shipping on ebay has every clip and clamp you need

88Saleen · October 4th, 2008, 08:23 PM

also forgot to add this, finally took off all the accessories from the air pump, cruise control, AC, and EGR. after i got all the vacuum lines off and pluged the ones i needed hooked up still, it idles a lot smother. so im pretty sure i had a vacuum leak also which is fixed now

Nice 5.0 · October 4th, 2008, 09:42 PM

Get those 60 foot times down and you could hit high to mid 12's.

88Saleen · October 5th, 2008, 12:36 AM
