This thread is for those who have ran a new best e.t. this season.

[Pure Stock]

Like the title states, list some of the incrementals from your timeslip. If you feel inclined, list some of the parts it took you to get the e.t. Perhaps you may want to talk about future mods planned for the upcoming season as well.

*100% OEM N/A 302" short block
*Heads, Cam, Intake
*TKO Trans.
*Assortment of suspension products courtesy of QA1.
*28x9x15 M.T. E/T Drag slicks
*93 octane Sunoco gasoline
*9:1 compression ratio
*MSD 6-AL
*Motorsport Extender (used to get by the 6,250 rpm factory limiter)
*Spooled 8.8" rear
*Rear wheel power output measured through a Dynojet in SAE *367*
*Vehicle weight with driver 2,825 lbs.

Found an additional 14 peak RWHP from last outing. Some weight was also shed. (around 45 lbs.)

previous best was: 10.716@123.96

New best is: 10.604@125.22

Future mods:

*looking to lose another 50-65 lbs., mostly off the nose*

I didn't really do anything to the car, I just tried to figure out how the car needed to be launched and shifted. Started out with a 12.6 @110 and with about 5 trips to PRP and after 15 passes I got it down to 12.28 @117.98 (left lane). Every time I went it got faster. I want to run 11's on the stock pulley and tune (full weight) so for spring I'm going to try MT DR's and a better heat exchanger. The MGW shifter will probably get tossed for a Pro 5.0 too.

[2001GTTT]

Yea.....my beast ran a 14.1 at norwalk......im gonna have to credit that to removing the back seat.....oh and lowering the pressure in the rear to about 22 psi....those major high h.p. mods helped me get that blistering time. :bouncy:

[Rowleyxlt619]

03 GT 5spd...

as the sig says

Flowtech long tubes
Flowtech o/r X pipe
Mac Cat back
BBK cold air intake
BBk 75mm throttle boyd
Trickflow plenum
FRPP 3.73 ring and pinion
Roush Racing Short Throw Shifter
Royal Purple 5w30 oil
Sonoco 93 octane
Mickey Thompson E/T streets 26x11.50x17

06 season went from a 14.4 to a 13.9 with bbk shortys, o/r h pipe, mac cat back, bbk cold air intake, and a throttle body spacer, on street tires

07 went from a consistent, 13.4 on MT e/t street radials and diablo tuner to from anywhere from 13.3s down to 13.1s wit a best 1.71 60' time with MT e/t streets and the long tube set up... ended up snapping the driver side axle one night up at prp back back in August...

Plans over the winter...
Already got a 01 cobra front bumper, cowl hood, smoked headlights. planning on getting bbk underdrive pulleys, msd coil packs, aluminum drive shaft, and 2 deep dish black bullitt wheels...

[Mitternacht]

Well for me this will be kind of a baseline.

I had an 89 Corvette with some intake,exhaust mods, and ran a 13.75 @ 99.98 at PRP.

My first run in the Mustang was a 13.65@105 i believe. 2nd run was 13.13@108. My third and best run that day was a 12.93 @ 109.21 with a 1.86 60' time on 555 street tires. This year the only difference performance wise will be 555 drag radials. Maybe I'll be able to shift faster too; that may of also been the reason I wasn't really satisfied with my ET's.

goal this season: launch harder w/ the new DR's and sharpen up on shifting
goal time: 12.30 or lower @ 110-115 MPH

[phillysrt4]

No times in a mustang... yet... thats changing this spring :woot1:

the neon is a different story. did a turbo change and put DR's on it and went from 13.7-13.8 at keystone to 12.5-12.6 at QCR.

[yeahloh95]

I Ran The 14.6 With The Svo , Plans Are To Add A Bigger Turbo Tubular Manifold,roller Cam, And Lots More Boost Times Should Drop 3 Sec Or More.

After all this there’s no mo money left for a stick like I had hoped…it would cost $2500 plus to put a stick in this car…guess I’ll be rocking the auto again next yr. doh

Goal for next yr is 11.7x’s on the 18’s….mph expected is 115-117.

I like running the car at the track just like I run it on the street…..but I just might borrow some real tires for a session to see what it will do. :veryhappy:

[fastfox91]

started the season of in my 91gt with a 11.6@124 on 7lbs and next to no timinig finished with a best of 10.6@132 added more boost and gave it some more timing could stand alittle more timing yet but im going to a bigger blower with hopes of 10.5 or better i would be happy

[fin1]

Started the season @ Thompson running 11.2x with the new trany, wheels & roll bar. Finished the season up with a best of 9.90 @ 140 at PRP. Switched from 110 to C16 in September and increased the timing and boost. Killed a trany, tq converter and turbo in the process and went through a set of M/T's.

Also managed to lose a bearing on the trailer while coming home from PRP. That required a new axle and brake system after it caught fire a mile from home.

Overall, it was a good season. ;)

[blkp42e]

my best time was a 13.1 last time i made it to the track 2 years go. id like to see a low low 11 / high 10. this year.

[Slow01GT]

2001 Gt Automatic

BBK catted x and SLP LM2 catback
C&L upper plenum with a 75mm BBK tb
K&N FIPK2
FRPP 4.10's
Steeda underdrives
SGS tune: 242rwhp/279rwtq before pullies. Thinking maybe 250/285 now if i'm lucky.

Only suspension mods are Lakewood 50/50 shocks and an Eibach Pro-kit.

Ran a best this year of 13.28@103.71 at PRP on MT ET Street radials at full weight.

Over the winter i'm planning on a stall conveter and aluminum ds along with control arms and subframe connectors. Maybe some weight reduction thrown in too.

ok maybe 2 seconds lol. if i get bigger inj, i know it will pick up a bunch:woot1:

[Ares]

Ended last year on 10/15/06 running a best of 12.71 @ 106.79, only changes from 2006 was switching to Royal Purple 5w20, NGK Iridium spark plugs and adding the K&N FPIK cold setup. Ran 12.59-low 12.6s most of the spring/summer after the three things I changed on 3 year old Hoosiers with hammered sidewalls. Sixites varied alot from with good 1.62 to just spinning the tires off.

Ended this year on a new best(always seems to happen last time I goto track each season)

MAC Headers & 2.5" exhaust thru cats(Catco's), full suspension(mix of QA1 front, Steeda rear, Strange struts/shocks), weight removed, factory longblock(intake to oilpan, never opened) Spec2 clutch(2nd season of 6k launches), Steeda Triax, TCI Linelock, Detroit Truetrac diff, Moser 31splines, seriously hurt FRPP 4.10 gear that won't die, Hoosier 26x10 slicks(3rd season), bunch of other misc crap. Link in sig

3135lbs with driver as per IHRA Techs

10/28/07 @ 1:54pm
1.68 sixty(spun)
5.09 330'
7.96 1/8
85.39 1/8 mph
10.43 1000'
12.51 1/4
108.30 1/4 mph

Car went 12.57 before best pass then back to back 12.53's after the 12.51 Spun on every pass and ran 108-109mph in right lane and 112mph left lane :huh:

Doubt I will do much more to car. Tempted to put back close to stock since most my time will be focused on getting the '84 vert ready for next season. Finally have 351w block for it. Nice lil stroker planned just need to decide on heads and go from there.

Hey man, it's refreshing to see someone wring out a combo as you did. You have a solid 2 tenths at a quicker/faster track. It's hard to give up on a hard charging combo, especially with minimal mods. Believe me, it damn near killed me to pull the E7TE's off my junk.:awsome:

[Pure Stock]

Nice e.t.'s guys. Keep 'em rollin.

[Killercanary]

My old H/C/I combo on my stock shortblock went a 12.03 at 112mph at Cecil County and put down 304/331 to the wheels. On my last run I made a major mistake and went from 3rd gear to 2nd gear right before the 1/8th mile mark which resulting in a quick kiss between the valves and the pistons. That was in April of 2005. The car sat for almost a year as I contemplated what I wanted to do next, and in the end I decided I wanted to try the turbo'd route. After building a killer shortblock and buying the turbo kit my funds were gone and I had no money left over for the fuel system and stand alone. I got the bug to get the car running no matter what so I through on most of my old combo onto my new low compression shortblock. While tuning it one night I pulled too hard on my serial cable for my EEC Tuner and I developed a problem where the car would shut off without warning while driving. I was just starting to have enough money saved to buy my fuel system when this happened, but I had to use the money at that point to buy my AEM stand alone in order to get the car back to drivable status again. Thanks to a lot of help from Mike and Mark the car was up and running in no time, but it wouldn't pull cleanly through the RPM's as it always broke up on me. I changed the plugs, cap, rotor, wires, and coil and it didn't help. I was just starting to get fed up with the AEM but decided to buy an MSD 6AL as a last ditch effort to cure the problem... lucky for me it did. I spent the next few weeks re-tuning it at the FLD's at Ebensburg and then headed to PRP. Here's all that changed from the old combo:

-Dart sportsman based 8.89:1 compression 331 stroker with 4340 Scat internally balanced rotating assembly masterfully put together by Rick at http://www.rnhperformance.com
-pioneer SFI "0" balance balancer
-fidanza aluminum flywheel
-AFR's new LS1 style valve springs/locks/retainers and new old style exhaust valves in my old box stock AFR 165 heads
-box stock holley systemax II intake
-AEM stand alone
-MSD 6AL and coil

The car ran a best of 12.2 at 115mph at PRP which is a solid 2 tenths and 2mph slower than Cecil. It put down 355/365 to the wheels at hybrid. The car is picking up nearly 28mph from the 1/8th mile on, so I know there is a lot more left in it, but running on 7 year old ET streets and having not raced for 2.5 years definitely hindered me a bit with the track numbers. For comparison sake my best time ever at PRP prior to this year was a 12.4 at 109mph. I think the only change for next year will be the addition of a 75mm fox style accufab TB and with a lot of luck a new set of heads to properly feed the beast. If I had to do it all over again I would have stayed NA and did a 363ci high compression engine. :(

[9secmach1]

New et was 9.90. Didn't really do anything else to the car besides have Terry put a good tune in it, and switched from a ratty pro motion face plated pro shifted tko to a TH400 automatic. Intake temps are 220 degrees so it's obviously time for a new intercooler, and maxed out the injectors so gotta go larger there. Other improvements will be small things that will hopefully get me in the 9.50 range then we gonna spray a 100 shot to it.:goodidea:

[Martin0660]

I ran a few new bests this year, not what I was looking for this season, but by the time I got the car right, the heat came, then I started eating parts :(

*100% OEM 140 cubic inch short block :D :D :D
*Mild ported Iron head, big valves, pocket port only, Ranger Roller cam.
*4 cylinder T5 (3.97 1st gear).
*Eiback launch springs, air bar right rear, CHE arms, SFC's, etc, still has front sway bar ;)
*26x10.50x15 M.T. E/T Streets
*93 octane Sunoco gasoline + Torco Accelerator for octane boost.
*8:1 compression ratio, stock turbo, stock air meter, etc.
*Mallory 685 Digital ignition box
*TwEECer to adjust for injectors (55#'s)
*Traction lok 8.8" rear, 3.73 gears
*Vehicle weight with driver 3,200 lbs.

previous best was: 12.49@111.00

New best is: 12.38@112.78 - I also equalled my best ever passes in the 1/8th at less boost in bracket trim. I never got to run the quarter with the combo after I got the gremlins out of the turbos. 60' times are still killing me, especially with the 1-2 shift in there.

Future mods: Searching for 100#'s out of the car, glass hood, aluminum driveshaft, mini starter, etc. This is still a street driven car and will reamin that way. Compromises must be made ;) Also different exhaust set-up (ATR downpipe), and mass air conversion.

This car will only be tuned into a high 11 then stopped. Car is bracket raced weekly, so 12.00 is as far as I go ;)

Sure it is.:D

[Martin0660]

Sure it is.:D

LOL, If only you knew...... The short block that is in it was picked up from a junkyard as a core a lot of years ago, it sat under a shelf for a long time covered in grease. When I melted the last piston in the $100.00 junkyard shortblock that was in it, we dusted this one off, and slid it in. Its as stock and as OEM as they get :D

Have you ever run it before?

[04mustang232]

Test and tune night at PRP, it was my 1st time at the track and i took my car just to see wat it would run. 16.5 @ 87 mph with a 3.8 and 18's. Pretty weak but hopefully the 4:10's and some bolt ons will help next summer. Id love to have it in the 14's by fall.

[pwtmxracing]

the best my car ran this year was a 12.8 at 109 and a 1.7 60 foot that was with 245 50 16 nitto extreme drags.. my set up is a 306 with holley heads comp cam 650 demon and me shifting it through a tremec.this year i gave the heads to a guy in west newton to get them cleaned up and the intake matched to the heads i got a nx nos kit c 4 3000 stall a set of weld drag lites 15-3.5 fronts and a pair of 15-9 rears with a 28 by 10 mt et street radials almost have everything i need all ineed is a shifter and a flexplate and i can start putting it all back together:pepper:
