first 1/4 mile pass ever

[20001 mustang]

so i finally got out to my local track last night to do a couple passes
first r/t .696 60' 2.317 1/4 mile 14.46 @98.95 mph
second r/t .653 60' 2.317 1/4 mile 14.238 @99.4 mph
third r/t .274 60' 2.195 1/4 mile 14.051 @99.38

first run i was so concerned with having my track off it hit it again just before my pass turning it back on
second i tried no burnout as a didnt think my tires would benefit much span all through first and half way through second bad r/t as sun was right in my eyes
third run did a bit of a burnout helped traction alot i span a bit on launch and a little going into second but my shifts wernt the best.

so now im addicted and i think ill be gettin out almost every weekend, wanted to know what everyone thinks of my times i have a 2001 gt with bbk cold air intake bbk o/r x pipe and magnaflow cat back with a predator tuner on 91 octane. my goal was to break into 13 seconds as i know my car could do it but it would be a bit of a challenge for me. whats a good r/t and 60' to shoot for and what do you guys think my car can run? next week ill do a better burnout my r/t should be much better so im pretty confident i can do it.

Reaction time has nothing to do with your et. but those are not that bad of runs considering the heat. With practice and a good 60ft you should have 13s.

Dont worry about the r/t it does not affect your ET, you have a nice MPH and should be in the 13's with no problem, just get that 60' down and your good to go !

Some pretty good numbers for a first time

Hey OP, you wanna shock yourself?

Get some drag radials (you could put some on a set of cheap wheels if you don't want to spend big $$$ on wheels right now) for the track. Do that, and put in some 4.10 gears. Next time you go to the track with those 2 mods, you will be running as much as a half second quicker!

we are in the same boat.My first time was 2 weeks ago in a 04 gt bassani o/r x pipe cat backs and cold air intake and i ran a 9.97@ 73 mph reaction time 478 60' 2.3

i dont care what is cost, i want some slicks now whats the best size wheel for my setup?

 

[ninjastang125]

15x8 or 15x10 wheels with 26x10 inch slicks will do the trick. Look into upgrading you axles soon after you buy the slicks

 

[20001 mustang]

do you think hard launching with this power could cause a problem? I plan to sell this at the end of summer and buy a cobra next year so i dont really want to put more money into it

 

[ninjastang125]

I have seen near stock car snap an axle with drag radial so yes, launching off the limiter on slicks will eventually cause axle failure
