is something wrong?? Slow ET's :(

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 08:46 PM

I just bought my car about a month ago and i decided to take it to the track, but i left highly disappointed. With the mods i have i figured i would have ran way better than i did. I have a 2001 Mustang GT with:

1.7 Kenne Bell Supercharger non-intercooled 6psi
36# Injectors
Bassani catback exhaust
Bilstein shocks/struts
H&R sport springs
BBK castor/camber plates
Transgo shift kit
Tranny cooler
K&N Filter
275/35/18 Khumo ECSTA Supra

As far as i know these are the only mods done to the car except for the cosmetics, although it may have been lowered a bit. I asked the previous owner if the car had even been tuned b/c the car does not run anything like it should. He told me it was "initially tuned when the s/c was put on" but he doesn't know what kind of tune b/c the car was not his at the time (it was his friends). When i took it to the track i was running 92 octane and maybe it was tuned for 93? I have been adding octane booster to the car and it is running somewhat better. And i am also running stock gears but i am soon to be getting some frpp 4.10's! Auto Tranny

60 Ft- 2.1566
330 Ft- 6.1865
1/8 ET- 9.4417
1/8 MPH- 75.86

If i'm not mistaken that is as slow or slower than a stock mustang!!!! What could be wrong with my car and how can i fix it??? Or am i just that bad of a driver??? lol

Any opinions on what you think it should be running??

Thanks for any help.

HMUSN · July 19th, 2008, 08:47 PM

you need tires my friend.

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 08:48 PM

I never broke loose though

Abe02GT · July 19th, 2008, 08:49 PM

+1 Drag radials will help you hook up better.

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 08:50 PM

i hooked up perfect

01GTstang · July 19th, 2008, 09:01 PM

you didn't hook, that or you are not leaving at a high enough rpm. i launch my N/A GT at 4500 and my best 60 foot is 1.77 your supercharged car should be in the 1.60's low 1.70s get some tires and try to leave harder

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 09:08 PM

when i stalled it harder it just bogged down really bad and i ran like a 10 lol and i wasn't stalling but at like 3000 or a little more

01GTstang · July 19th, 2008, 09:20 PM

thats because its hooking and it has to move that weight... go higher if you can. my gt feels like i get high by a semi when i leave the line

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 09:23 PM

Alright i'll try that, i am goin back to the track next weekend, what kinda time do you think i should be running?

93hatch · July 19th, 2008, 09:23 PM

regardless his trap speeds arent up to par with a sc new edge

SWEET2KSTANG · July 19th, 2008, 09:36 PM

you should be around the same power #'s i am at, i am faster than that. either the tune is off that bad, you arent leaving hard enough, or your elevation is really high.

bartee25 · July 19th, 2008, 09:41 PM

i hope its just cause i'm not leaving hard enough and the elevation isn't the case here in texas, it has to be the tune though

Drgnracin72 · July 19th, 2008, 10:04 PM

well, your 60 foot is crap, so tires would helop with that. and my other thoughts are your not a good drive.

ShapeShifter · July 19th, 2008, 11:36 PM

hmmm weird....

mrbigjeep · July 20th, 2008, 01:04 AM

yeah i ran 9.8 bone stock and i think thats pretty bad. i think i can do better. you should be waay faster

adrenaline=lifeline · July 20th, 2008, 01:18 AM

did u turn off o/d?

blk01gt · July 20th, 2008, 04:15 AM

just to give you an idea this is what i ran with the mods in my sig except the LTs and I was running on 275 Riken Raptors
60ft 2.051
330ft 5.697
1/8th 8.703
MPH 81.70

That won't help his low traps. I think it's evident he's not producing the power he should. I recommend a dyno tune.

My first thoughts.

JiMi_DRiX · July 20th, 2008, 05:45 AM

Maybe it's the driver and not the car? Was it your first time at the track?

jivepepper · July 20th, 2008, 06:15 AM

Its an auto just hold it to the floor. Even if he had a bad launch it still shouldn't trap that low.
