Im back with a 14.0 turbobird

[tiny4lx]

I been working alot and doing other things,but wanted to stop in and tell ya about the bird. Well it has 153,089 miles on a stock longblock. No porting,stock intakes,stock tb,stock fpr,88 stock ic,stock rear and gears,stock suspension,5spd. Now i add'd a ATR header,single 3" exhaust[all the way out the back],It has the stock 60/63 turbo pushing 19psi and big vam and injectors. I ran it with street tires[no dr]255-60 and slipped the clutch around 5000rpm's to about the 60'. Came back to the lane to realize that the header had a 4" crack.
Did run 110 fuel mix with 94. Just got my afpr so it will go on and hope for a 13.99.

Good times on a pretty much stock bird!
Youll pull that 13.99 with just the right track conditions.

Ps: atr headers are KNOWN to crack, just about everywhere...good luck with that

I had a 2.0 60'. I need some dr's so i can let the clutch go in stead of riding it out.
If it wasnt for the crack i may of went 13's but not sure. Well the header has extra weld on it and the original brackets cut and better ones put back on. I'll try it again and hope it holds up.

That sounds great.
Honestly I wouldn't be too hurt about a 2.0 60' in a bird on street tires. I could get any faster than 1.94 in the mustang.
It went to 1.701 with slicks and spray.

oh and...19psi probably doesn't warrant the need for 110 octane if you can ice the cooler a little before a run and make a heat sheild to prevent a heat soak.

LoL, I remember when 351w had the crappiest time with his car going slow...turned out to be the highoctane fuel !

 

[351wcoupe]

The car definately got confused. The car was probably thinking "What?!!! He spent money on something...thats it, I'm going on vacation!"

Well the gas may not help'd at this piont but it didnt hurt to try. As for the tires, slicks maybe not but at least a good dr. Even slipping the clutching the were spinning a little.
Next weight reduction
