'89 GT First time at the track

[dbdragracing]

I ran my '89 Ford Mustang GT at the track for the first time last night at Mt. Park Dragway in Clay City, KY. I had a great time! Just figured I would run it to see what it could do before I redo the engine. Heres whats done to it:

Stock '89 GT engine with 188K miles, 3.08 gears, K&N filter, Mac shorty headers and o/r h-pipe, dumped Flowmaster 40s, AOD to t-5 swap with KC clutch, Pro 5.0 shifter and extremely cheap aqua tread tires.

Results:

-reaction .241
-I1 2.387
-I2 6.400
-I3 9.697
-E.T. 14.856
-MPH 95.248

I know I need some practice! But this is the first time I have ever drag raced a car.

Gotta work on the 60' times. Even with ****ty tires, you should be able to get 2.2 60's at least. Should low 14's in it with more practice!

was lookin up some old threads to see some quarter mile slips.

just wanted to say - thats actually good!

those are pretty respectable times for a 188k motor, thats pretty much stock...

Throw some bolt ons at it and pick up a set of drag radials and see if you can rip a 13 second pass out of it before you tear it apart.

Looks like an old post, and the car is now sold, judging by the sig...

Yeah I sold the car to work on my '70 Mach 1. Now Im keeping my eyes open for a clean notch! I will own another fox body!

I swear to God when I finally get mine the way I want it I'm hiring a security guard, installing a sprinkler system, and putting a "Not for sale EVER" sign on it.

Good luck finding a clean notch.
