New AFR 185 competitions tested at the track... New best 1/4 stats inside!

  • Sponsors (?)


Thanks everyone!

To answer your questions...

I shifted it by the seat of my pants since I can' see my tach when the needle approaches 6K as my AEM wideband is in front of it. On my datalogs the shifts looked to be occuring around 6300-6400 and I went through the traps around 6400-6500.

I used the edelbrock performer intake on my stock shortblock combo.

I'm not sure how much weight I've removed from a stock 'vert, but the heaviest my car ever was was 3803lbs with me, stock heads, etc. I was just over 3400lbs when I ran these new numbers.



I was kicking the idea around of staying NA but I won't hit my 130mph goal if I do so I plan to move forward with the turbo. I still can't believe my combo ran what it did, but it makes me think that I've made the right decisions on parts selection and that it'll be a monster at even low boost levels.
 
Killercanery, I saw you run at SSOTN Nats.
Congrats!

There was a mom and daughter there just lusting at your car. all they were talking about was that yellow stang!

I got my personal best there also. not quite the ET you got, but close.

60ft - 1.931 (ON STREET TIRES/STOCK GEARS)
1/4 - 11.982
MPH - 122.83

LOL! That's cool!

Congrats on the new best!

I believe I spoke to you in the staging lanes. I had asked you if you had the car long as there was one for sale in Pittsburgh that looked nearly identicle. it was opal frost GTS with a cobra R hood and a cobra front bumper. I almost bought it but some kid showed up with double what I had worked out with the guy and he sold it. i don't blame him as I'd have done the same thing, but I really wanted the car. Here's a pic of it...

I was going to get the car for ~$2500 (I was going to trade him my old fox body and some cash) and the guy gave him $5000 for it.


Where did you get that picture at of your car? That looks like a shot from the track photographer. Looks good!
