New Best ET 13.123 @ 104.46mph
New Best 60' 1.897

• Running @ full weight minus spare tire and jack. 1/2 Tank of 93 Octane.
• Weather was "ok" for South Florida. ~85F, Humidity wasn't too bad.

So I get to Moroso Motorsports Park after the 45 minute drive from Boca Raton (~55 miles), hand the tech my card (extended tech FTMFW) and get in line for dial-ins. I start off with 3.5K dump for the first run and then work my way up to 4K. Moderate burnouts, Tire Pressure at 17.

Run #1:
60': 2.008
330: 5.620
1/8: 8.582
MPH: 83.61
1000: 11.125
1/4: 13.265
MPH: 105.70


Run #2:
60': 1.963
330: 5.583
1/8: 8.573
MPH: 82.92
1000: N/A
1/4: 13.292
MPH: 104.83

Run #3:
60': 2.035
330: 5.613
1/8: 8.572
MPH: 83.63
1000: 11.116
1/4: 13.258
MPH: 105.59

Run #4:
60': 1.962

1/8: 8.534
MPH: 83.17
1000: 11.092
1/4: 13.245
MPH: 105.06

So, I decided from here that I'd be much more agressive with my launches. I took Pete's advice and lowered my Tire pressure to 14.5, did a longer burnout than usual and a 5K dump. Results...

1/8: 8.398
MPH: 83.23
1000: 10.959
1/4: 13.123
MPH: 104.46

Run #6: This run I decided to try a 6K dump. Didn't work as well but still decent results.
60': 1.929
330: 5.485

Can you taste the 12s?

Very nice times. Makes me want those 4.10s real bad.

 

[anticubicle]

4.10's own man. I need to get my tune re-done and shed some weight. I'm very confident I'll see 12's before the temp starts to drop.

It's nuts that we're still in the mid 80's here....

 

[DarkFireGT]

Good job. Are you running stock tires?

 

[anticubicle]

275/40/17 Mickey Thompson DR's

If I went to a decent track (Moroso is terrible) I'd definitely see better 60' times with those tires.

 

[cLeAnRaCiNgLdR]

Good Times Joe, bring yo ass to bradenton motorsports tomoroww night for 1320 drags and you'll see 12's.

 

[kooldawg6]

Well done anti
Reading your launch RPMs, I was like no way he's still on OEMs...reading later you have DRs I sure could've used them my last outting as I was spinning all the way into 3rd several times Our temps here in central VA are still 80 as well

 

[DarkFireGT]

You were running full PSI on your tires, too, Kool. If you drop your tire pressure down to 18-20psi and up your fronts to about 45, you'll improve your traction greatly on the stock rubber. Of course, it's no substitue for drag radials/slicks, but it'll help you out a lot.

 

[kooldawg6]

Thanks Dark, but I'm done for the year and like I said...I WILL have MTs next year Hopefully I don't start breaking stuff then...

 

[onebad95]

very nice times. Really like that 60' time.

 

[Leftoverchinese]

Nice times

 

[anticubicle]

Updated!!!! Got multiple 13.0's last night in the Mustang Challenge @ Moroso Motorsports Park. Will post timeslips

 

[kooldawg6]

Oh so close now Anti!!!!! Like me and my 13.109. I tried like 4 more times to break into the 13.0s, but couldn't.
