first time at track since i got the sct x3

08v6stang · October 27th, 2009, 03:10 AM

I have an auto 08 v6. The first time i ran it, it only had an exhaust on it and i ran a 15.44 @89.xx. then i went 3 weeks ago after i got my intake and i ran a 15.6 @90.62 (i messed up). I just went yesterday so now my car has intake, exhaust, 93 octane tune, i ran a 14.9223 @ 92.69mph!!! I didn't launch or do anything different. I was extremely happy to hit in the 14's.

I really didn't think a tune would make that big of a difference.

I think im going to get gears next, i heard 4.10's were better for an auto? what do you guys think i will run with the 4.10's?

Wow impressive. I want to go to the track to see what I can run. I definatly recommend that you get 4.10's and Tlok. I imagine you could run 14.5 with that combo.

Thanks a lot man, yea im almost positive my next mod will be the 4.10's. just have to save up because i heard install is a lot for gears.

Ya it was a lot. I would get 4.10's myself if it weren't so expensive to do it again.

v606er · October 27th, 2009, 03:49 AM

What size wheels and tires do you have?

08v6stang · October 27th, 2009, 04:04 AM

there stock, i believe 235/50 18". The only bad thing about 4.10's is a do a lot of driving, and usually at around 60mph so i'll probably be spending a lot more on gas.

08v6stang · October 27th, 2009, 04:05 AM

how much did they charge you to install the gears?

v606er · October 27th, 2009, 10:48 AM

This is a thread I made a while ago,
http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...-4-0l-v6s.html

It might help. I didn't actually write it.

I think it was 400 for the install, but then they tried to charge 450, but I held firm because we had already agreed to 400. I didn't think it would cost that much and I barely had enough money on me to cover it.

mine was 250 for install...at mustang specialty shop

14's is not bad, are you gunning for any better times or do you think you nailed it?

nah i can prob do better, im going again tomorrow i will let you know how i did. prob run some 14.8's maybe even 14.7 if i take off correctly. so after i get gears i should be running really low 14's all day.

you think gears will take off like six tenths??

maybe they do more for the v6 cars...

08v6stang · October 31st, 2009, 03:11 AM

just got back from the track tonight, i ran 14.86 @92.90.

idk, but from what i read 4.10's take off about a half a second, so i ran 14.8 that minus .5= 14.3, which i consider low 14's? idk i might be wrong i have never changed gears im just going off of what i have read/heard.

he is the video of my run, sorry for the shitty quality.

mrbigjeep · November 1st, 2009, 01:17 AM

you may take off half a second with the gears and really good tires to get the sixty foot down a bit...otherwise i don't think it will be that much. although it will improve

oh, ok so what do you think it should take off, maybe .3 realistically?

08v6stang · November 1st, 2009, 01:17 AM
