My 88GT is currently running a 8.8 @ 83mph in the 1/8th which calculates to a 13.8 at 103mph in the 1/4 at a bad track at 900ft elevation. People there say they run .2 faster at better tracks. I ran it on radial 225/60R15 tires which gave me horrible 2.0-2.1 60ft time. I had to launch from idle. The engine on my car is stock from the airbox to the oil pan to the stock headers/manifolds. It has an AOD that is a Ford factory rebuild. Some things have been taken off the engine but no hard parts have been replaced unless of course you want to consider the 180*F t-stat a hard part. My goal is to get a 12.9 in the 1/4 without replacing the TB, intake, heads, shortblock, or even exhaust manifolds. I have a edelbrock intake and a manual trans for it, but I want to get it there before doing that.
Added a electric fan and a 180*F t-stat. Deleted the P/S, smog, clutchfan, and the A/C and it has underdrives.
A LOT of weight reduction (HVAC, back seats, bumper cores, LX conversion ect) and the battery in the trunk. I have suspension and a 3.73 gear.
I have a set of ET Streets. I am thinking that if I could tag a 1.7 60ft, I would be close. I doubt a 1.6 could be possible with a stock AOD. I don't want to "gut" the car. I might take the passenger seat out for the race if I'm close.
So has anyone ever done this? Anyone known of someone who's done this? Any tips?
