Track times with 4.10s

MustangMatt96GT · July 19th, 2007, 01:20 AM

Okay well I am not dissapointed, but I still didnt get 15.xx. Reason being is I didnt launch great at all the first run and the second time I only wound her up to 5000 to see if I get better times. The first run I ran her up to 5500-5600 and got a better MPH, but had a 2.6 sixty foot because of being the first time on the 4.10s. Second run I had the best launch I have ever had 2.3 60 foot time and a .053 RT but I shifted at 5000 where theoretcally I should shift after looking at my dynos, but I always run slower when I do that so from now on its 5500 with my current set up and maybe 6500 once I get my top end built.

What would be the best way to launch with the 4.10s and nitto 555s?

MustangMatt96GT · July 19th, 2007, 02:00 AM

I forgot to mention that this was at 81 degrees with a absolute Barometer of 24.01 at 5800 ft. I weighed my car too and it came out to be 3450 pounds with me in it.

kennyGT · July 19th, 2007, 04:50 AM

ahhhh its 3am and there is Maintenance going on with photobucket
but im surprised at the race weight, in a good way

as for the launching, start small and work your way up till u break loose

G.T. Rags · July 19th, 2007, 12:39 PM

100% improvemnt from when u went out the 1st time man. U should def shift at 5500 next time out. I've got faith u can get her into the 15's just the way she is.

HMUSN · July 19th, 2007, 12:41 PM

nice run dude... I thought the old school car was going to put a hurtin on ya

MustangMatt96GT · July 19th, 2007, 01:29 PM

That old school car had a 3.110 60' time and ran an 18.543@69.90. lol And I am very confident that I will be in the 15s here next time I go up there as long as I get more than 2 runs in. The more runs I get in the better, because then I am not as pressured to get it right the first or second time!

B0B · July 19th, 2007, 02:32 PM

lol just practice man, when i took my ranchero to the track the first time i got a 15.9 @ 94mph. my 60ft time was 3.xx lol, i haven't taken my stang to the track yet though.

stanglifemike · July 19th, 2007, 02:38 PM

Nice man, a few more runs and you'll be in the 15's no problem.

Ryan Paymaster · July 19th, 2007, 06:17 PM

Wow, you'll grab high 15s soon. I thought the GT pre 99 was at least mid 15s or something? I never really thought GTs were slow at all, but those times seem really high. That or I overestimated the GT. I always figured Mustang GT = V8 = Quick. I still love them though.

Not to be offensive towards you or anyone, I feel like I am though, but were the NPI GT kind of lacking on the power department or something? I've heard of people giving the GT a bad name before, I just chalked it up to them hating on Ford though.

Anyway you look at it, your grabbing the 15s next time your at the track! Hell, you have the PI parts if I recall, so maybe by next season you'll be saying hi to 14s! :award

I once spent an entire day, 3pm-11pm at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove, WI. I was learning the car all day and only cutting 14.0x non-stop. I was really depressed for the bolt ons and radials I have. After 5+ hours of running, I decided to give it another go. It started to cool off and the sun wasn't as intense. I finally broke into 13.79 and it made my day. Now I'm hoping for even better next time I go. Good luck, Matt.

My friend with a 96 gt had a h-pipe,catback,cold-air,pulley's and 3:73's.He was hitting mid 14's all day long...is your car automatic?You should be hitting 15's stock.

if matt was running at 300 feet he'd be in the mid 14's

post 600 bitches

Ryan Paymaster · July 19th, 2007, 10:37 PM

I figured the mountains had something to do with it. Thankfully the closest track to me is Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL. (15 minute drive) Don't really care for it because of how long it takes to get in and get any runs out of it. Definitely prefer the tracks out in the country. Looks like a nice track you go to though, Matt.

MustangMatt96GT · July 19th, 2007, 11:48 PM

NOW THAT IS FUNNY! lol its in the foot hills! lol now our cabin is at 9800 ft and you can take an ATV up to 13000 ft! lol

Well its really nice track and actually the NHRA runs there, and it was last weekend. Anyway because of the Mile High Nationals, it was the only time this month to run and was crazy busy!

I will be requesting august 1st off or at least to get off at 3 PM so i can go race all day!

MustangMatt96GT · July 20th, 2007, 12:15 AM

Wow I just corrected it and it says I should be running at 13.91@99.95 MPH at sealevel and optium condtions.

At sealevel I believe this is a solid 14.2-14.5 car!

stanglifemike · July 20th, 2007, 12:31 AM

Without a doubt Matt. I think high 13's is right.

kennyGT · July 20th, 2007, 12:46 AM

LOL i live in central florida, i have to drive 30miles to see a BIG hill, nething is a mountain to me hehehehee

Try Illinois. I am absolutely impressed when I'm out of state and my car actually coasts down a hill on it's own. The biggest thing we have to a hill would be whatever a snow plow makes in a parking lot.

kennyGT · July 20th, 2007, 02:47 PM

we dig 9feet and hit water

lol

hammett07 · July 20th, 2007, 07:10 PM
