Yep busted the 11 second zone....pretty easily I might add once I figured out how to launch with the TOTALLY new setup (turbos, spec stg 3 clutch, and 315 nitto DRs). Had great prep...as always with FFW, but my best time came when they handed the track back to Houston race way park. I ran about 6 times durring FFW and about 3 times after wards. It was about 80*s outside and ALOT of humidity. Probably 75%+...so it wasnt the best day by any means. Anywho, VERY first run out of the gate resulted in a 12.3 @ 120MPH. (im #536)
Im used to launching at NO MORE than 4000RPM and started @ 3500 today....BOG. I kept working my way up, and it helped, but before the FFW part was over I couldnt break out of the 12s.
Next run I decided to hit 5th gear.
Killed the trap. So after that I stayed in 4th (crossing at 6000RPM
) and ran 3 or so more but all were around the 12.0 range @ 120. Time slip machine started screwing up, so 2 of my slips I didnt get any 1/4 mile data....but some friends I made, as well as my dad said they were 12.0s. And I accedentally made an 8PSI run lol...still trapped 119MPH, but thats one that 1/4 didnt show up...but it showed I ran a 8.03 @ 94.5 MPH in the 1/8 though. Let the car cool off and waited for the FFW event to end. Lined up in the staging lanes waiting for the track to be ready to run at about 6PM and what pulls up next to me? 2003-2004 cobra
. But no, not a stock one. I talked a while to the owner ( VERY cool guy) and it turns out it was a full bolton (LTs included), pullied and ported cobra! 2.8 pulley with a 2# lower and making 493RWHP. He was alos running BFG DRs, but couldnt get them to hook with his new clutch and after porting the blower. So we line up and I FINALLY get a good 60' by launching @ 4500RPMs. 1.84 60' and pull him right right awayout of the whole. Ran down the track and the whole time I was pulling away....slowly, but still definatly pulling. He had trouble right near the end though(3rd-2nd gear
) . Anywho, I ran an 11.79 @ 122...dont know his. (doesnt show opponents time) . But he told me its been running low 12s (spinning of the line) @ 118ish. I watched him run 2 more times and same thing, spins some off the line and goes 12.0-.3 @ 116-118MPH. He said before with the stock clutch and non ported blower, he was pulling 1.6 60s and running 11.7s! But definatly a VERY NICE freegin car and fast as heck!Anyways, I hot lapped it and spun (maybe I bogged? lol) to a 12.0 @ 120....then hot lapped again for my final run. Had to wait in line for the last one for about 15 minutes...idling the whole time. And ran this launching @ 4800RPM.
All in all im VERY VERY happy! Especially driving the car up there 150 miles, on my DD nittos...full tank of gas, FULL weight + tool box, drive shaft loop my dad bought, and a UPR shifter my dad also bought setting in the trunk. I weighed it up there on the digital scales and with me in it (im light...130) it jumped between 3595-3600 for my race weight so its not exactly as light as I thought
My trap is also being hurt because im out of gear...normally you want to trap around you shift point. But my car has valve float past 5800RPM and just before the end of the traps I could feel my car just nose over @ right around 6000RPM. It would go 124+ if I had just a little more gear and no doubt if I had a cool down before hand.
Sorry for the long read...but I just had so much fun
. But unfortunatly I didnt see any SN or local mustang club members up there 
. Maybe next year .
. So not really even the cost of most base twin turbo kits. But i already had a tubular front end BTW. 
Orange and totally customoized by a father and son team. We talked to them quite abit because its simular to what me and my dad did (team wise...they were going for show. We just wanted a nice fast street car) and watched the modified mustangs magazine guy take pics of the care....absolutly gorgous! People were just stopping and pulling out their camereas and taking pictures.
