So i went to the track....

[FourEyed85]

well all i can say is that i need slicks and maybe my stock suspension is not too worthy either. best track time after 3 runs.... 13.5/124mph

anyone got an idea of what i should be running with a great launch and traction all the way down the 1320?

here's the ride if you havnt caught it... nice aint she, her name is Sleeping Beauty.

You're running 13's and you're complaining? WAHH! I can't even break into the 14's!

Seriously, those are decent times. Of course, there's always room for improvement since you're running a h/c/i Fox, but mid-13's are nothing to sneeze at.

If you're running those kind of times WITH traction problems, a set of good DR's, alone, would surely set you into the high- to mid-12's.

 

[FourEyed85]

the thing is, i had DR's.....

 

[25thmustang]

124 mph???

I doubt thats right. That combo is a 110 mph combo with the right driver and a good track. Going by your combo, mid 12s with traction, but 124 mph is a low 11 high 10 second pass with all other variables working right!

 

[ozanracing]

!\124mph?

 

[FourEyed85]

i have the slip that says 13.5 but the thing is that the right side of the track wasnt printing mph on the slip, but a group of people told me that they seen 13.5 at 124.... i'll get it up as soon as i can so you guys can see the 1/8 and etc... hope those guys werent pullin my chain.

 

[SuperStang83]

Yeah cause a 124 mph pass is definately in the mid to low 11 seconds. Lets see the slip and see if we can diagnose the run any better.

 

[TC93]

Have to agree,, the 124 is a very high MPH for that combo unless you were using allot of N20 or car is very light.. You should range from 109-112 and maybe a 114..... Depending on weight of car and the way suspension is set up 124 can be anything from low/mid 10's to low 11's. Looking at you car a 124mph with traction would be a low 11..

My 86GT wieghed 3550 with me and on 17" Mickey Thompson DR's I ran 11.19 at 121 with a 1.61 sixty foot. My combo was a 331, vortech 10#'s, AOD w/3000 stall, & 3.55's on the 275/40/17 MT drag radials... Can see car/combo in my sig...

 

[legalize420]

there is no way you were going 124 with that combo.

 

[NKau]

I think 104-110 would be about right; we could tell you pretty close what you ran if you give us your 60 ft. and the rest of the timeslip.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

where did you get the hood, criminal? Me likes lots!! LOL

 

[2000xp8]

124 is plain old wrong.
Drag radials are plenty good, you either didn't have the right pressure in them, didn't heat them up properly or both.

It's really impossible to say what you'd run without seeing a 60ft time and an accurate 60ft.

 

[Flavadave4]

what was the 60' time?
what pressure did you run in your DR's
and how hot did you get them.......

I think those guys were yankin your crank!

 

[GTOreturns]

What kind of DR's? My buddy pulls 10.7's at 126 MPH so your 124 is wrong. R U getting alot of wheel spin?

 

[FourEyed85]

sorry to beat a dead horse but im 100 percent sure i didnt run a 124mph... sorry for the mixup.

heres the real deal:

Reaction: .149
I1: 2.245
I2: 0.000
I3: 8.850 @ 84. 040
I4: 13.502 @ Unknown

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I ran 13.01@107mph in my buddy's GT so 124 is waaay off. That was running about a 1.90 60 foot on street tires.

 

[25thmustang]

Judging by the 1/8th mph, maybe 105-107 in the 1/4!

 

[JUCD 5.0]

more like 102.4 lol not 124

 

[Grn92LX]

You need traction and more gear! It should go around 115 ish with the right gears.
