go ahead and keep it in OD but i reccomend you look to the modded mustangs magazine they got a auto mustang with a 93 octane tune, cold air intake, 3500rpm stall and stickys in the low 12's.

hopefully redfire will chime in with his write up

Traction control off. O/d OFF. Loose the 20 and get some 17`s with some MT`S DR`S. (DRAG RADIALS)

RDiaz89 · July 30th, 2009, 01:51 PM

Dont have access to no 17s nor do i have money to spend on that right now!

ModularSteed · July 30th, 2009, 01:57 PM

they dont have to be nice 17". just get some cheap ones that will fit a radial. its a drag race not a car show

bkid · July 30th, 2009, 02:03 PM

I agree just loose the 20`s they will kill you. You can get an extra spare tire and run the 2 up front. Then you would only need 2 17` wheels, and dr`s for the back.

bkid · July 30th, 2009, 02:07 PM

Here a few other tricks you can do. Remove the front sway bar, washer bottle,pass. seat , rear seats,spare tire, carpet in back,and jack.

beefmobile · July 30th, 2009, 02:15 PM

hey about that whole spare tire thing. are they supposed to go, say, 115mph?

Not sure on this , I am checking it out right now. Get back soon.

beefmobile · July 30th, 2009, 02:21 PM

well the real question is will they flat out hold up. because if they will, this is exactly what i'm doing

TotoGT06 · July 30th, 2009, 02:22 PM

Go to the drag racing section of this forum where you can find your answers there

bkid · July 30th, 2009, 02:24 PM

I would say yes it is good for that amount of speed. I have had mine at 117 a few times. I checked into it a bit, and they are a decent steel belted tire. I do feel safer on my stock tires. Well I went to BFG G force sports.

RDiaz89 · July 30th, 2009, 02:33 PM

so turn off o/d n turn off t/c

what about stalling rpm? and what psi should i run on my tires?

PS: i wont have acess to 17s for this time but will look into them for the future! hmm just though of an idea my bro has an 04 cobra and he has 17s on nitto nt555 d/r maybe nex time when he doesnt go i can borrow them

AnimalCrackers · July 30th, 2009, 02:43 PM

psi takes some testing, each car reacts differently even with the same mods. With your 20s on you won't have much tire wall to work with, but drop them down to 20-25 psi and see how they hold up. With the mods you have listed, you could still rev up a little bit before blowin the street tires up, just need to test it out with each run. Start out at 1500 and bring it up 250 RPMs each pass. I doubt you'd be able to go any higher than 3500 before breakin loose.

I'd be willing to bet the spare tires would be ok for the front for a few passes, but I wouldn't want to do it all season or for sustained speeds like that. I'd only consider using them if I REALLY needed to shed some pounds or make some great times in a race.

loose the 20s

bkid- i like the idea of your spare idea

bkid · July 30th, 2009, 02:56 PM

Auto trans try both launching from idle, and holding as high as you can. I would practice this in your driveway or suitable area.Just see which launches you off faster.

oh i think they put skinnies on the front and use a different k member and driveshaft too.
