Had a good night at the track in the Notch!!!

[EPIK]

My buddies finally convinced me to take the notch out to the track & I am very pleased with the results.

My best pass was....

12.97 @110.5mph

with a crappy 1.93 60ft.

This was only my 2nd time ever running any of my cars at the track, & only my 1st time running a car on full slicks, but I must say I am happy with the outcome of my 1st time out in the notch. A little work on my 60 ft, & I can see the times getting a bit quicker.

BUT, since I knew there was more in it, I let my buddy who is much more experienced run it, & his time was...

12.75 @110.06

with a 1.75 60ft


I know these are not amazing times, but for a stock bottom end HCI 302 with no suspension mods, I think there not too shabby...

Very good times! I have only had a 2.0 60ft cause I suck I guess

Then again I have never ran slicks...

well done. our notches even have similar power, i guess that gives me an idea what i would run. sorry to hijack, but i got a question for ya..

i want the same brake setup as you. i'm against the fence on doing the 5 lug or 4 lug upgraded brakes. i think im just gonna go 5-lug so it "looks" better.

anyways, did you use 94-95 front spindles? what did you go with for axles, ranger length? did you use the north racecar brackets or alternates on the rear? if you dont mind giving me a break down.

mainly just bashing my head in the wall on the rear setup. front is pretty cut/dry.

Might as well go 5 lug if you are gonna upgrade the brakes IMO.

My setup consist of:

=94/95 spindles
=04 Cobra front brakes
=Ranger axles & drums (for now)

Eventually, I will be going with a rear disk setup, but will most likely stick with smaller rear brakes so i can run 15" wheels out back. I will be using NRC brackets in the rear as well.


I am also still running the stock booster & MC, but i will be upgrading to 93 Cobra parts eventually...

i forgot you had drum stuff. i promise i wont copy your wheels atleast, but i am planning the same cobra f/r brakes

guess i've spent all my hours reading for the right parts. except i have a v6 booster/mc i got for free, along with the spindles he is takin the car to the junkyard, i might be able to snag ya the rear calipers/rotors if you want them?

let me know, im heading up to get some more parts off it tomorrow.

Thanks, yeah I might want those...

its a 10.5" rotor, should clear 15" stuff fine. i will grab it for you if he lets me take it. although its probably a wash paying my shipping cost compared to taking it from a junkyard lol.

the car only had 30k miles, so it is all good/useable. ill let you know.

Thanks bro... PM me when you get the brakes...

That's about what mine ran with my 351 heads and X cam. I was going 1.9s on crappy drag radials and going 12.8. I can't wait to get mine out this spring and see what the stroker can do.


Also, it's BS that you're racing already. Do you live in California or something?

Yup, I live in Northern California. It was around 65 & sunny yesterday...

Not too shabby?? That is great! Those are excellent times man! A lot of mostly stock foxes over here are running mid 13's maybe high 13's. 300rwhp in a notch is always a lot of HP for the car. My tuner always told me a 300RWHP notch will run with your(well, my old 96 Cobra). That ran 12.53@114 with a 1.88860 ft. This was on Nitto's launching at idle and I had 414RWHP.

Nice times again bro.

 

[GroverDill]

Very very good times!

 

[25thmustang]

Nice numbers for the first time out!

 

[89stang1]

Great ET Bro first time with the Notch! real good MPH bet u had fun so much dam snow here ....when the tracks open this spring im making alotta passes!

 

[EPIK]

Thanks a bunch guys... I am pretty pleased to hit 12's my 1st time out, just gotta get that launch down. I was launching @ 5k, BUT, I need to get my clutch/gas timing down & I will see better 60's....

 

[25thmustang]

Times will drop. My brother with the same power went from 12.8s to 12.2s with just practice and time!

 

[HotFox]

Must be nice! My car is hibernating in the barn covered over, it will not see the road till April! Man you even have green grass.

At least I have the snowmobile to fulfill my speed habit in the off season!

[5.0Torx]

very nice times epik. With some more practice, im sure youll get em even lower. In the meantime, clean her up and enjoy the badass stable youve got there!

 

[Shaolin Crane]

Nice Dustin, whats happening with the Mach?

 

[NIKwoaC]

The car definitely has more in it, but those are good times nonetheless!

I bet it feels good to know you have a 12 second car!
