ok i ran my stang at the track again last night, it was pretty much PERFECT weather for racing, it was cool but not too cool and just was perfect. no humidity or anything just a plain GOOD day to race.
as some of you know i went last weekend also and ran 13.65 @100 mph
seemed low on power. it turned out to be TOO HUMID that day and i talked to some people and their all seemed to run slower
well last night i was pretty happy with my results.
first pass i ran a 13.67 @ 101.7 with a 1.8 60'
i thought ok doesnt run any faster you know
second pass felt real good didnt know what to expect
i got my slip and got a 13.37@ 102.86 with a 1.8 60'
i was like wow never knew my car had it in it
3rd pass wasnt so good haha
ran a 14.66 @96 with a 1.9 60'
didnt get a good burnout, spun them a tad off the line and as soon as a hit second it broke em loose and it was just a crappy run lol we all have them
4th pass i ran a 13.66@ 101.97 with a 1.9 60'
i started to think i had a good tailwind helping me on my 13.3 pass, i didnt think i would get it again
5th pass my hope was restored
i ran a 13.38 @102.93 with a 1.9 60'
i was like YEAH it wasnt just a lucky run the car can actually run this
6th pass was my best E/T of the night
[email protected] with a 1.9 60'
ALMOST got 103 mph lol
i am happy now my car can consistantly run 13.3s
found my magic tire pressure too, it seemed to work best at 15psi, their 26x 10.5 ET streets.
the car DOES FEEL like it has a high 12 sec pass still in it, those last 2 passes, i really got to dialing my car in, was getting good and getting a feel for what it likes.
BUT on those last 2 passes i ran with a 1.90 60'
if i can find another good day and get that 60' to a 1.8 it may want to go 13.1 or so, at least i HOPE
and the launch is the hardest part. it feels strange, its not spinning b/c its getting the decent 60' but the ass of the car moves side to side like its spinning the tires
its hard to find a set RPM to launch at, it seems to act a tad different each run, i just give it the RPM and hope it works out.
i am hoping a nice suspension upgrade would help me out, i already have SFCs and am hoping some nice adjustable shocks/struts, upper lower rear arms and drag springs would help out with the launchs and get to where i can pop 1.7 60' consistantly or maybe dip into the 1.6's i think that would get my car into the 12s.
so do you guys think i can get her to dip into the 12s with just the suspension stuff?
how much E/T would u guess i could pick up with.... adjustable shocks/struts/ eibach drag springs,rear upper lower arm kit?
but overall the car ran EXCELLENT, i am happy with the results and it feels alot more like where it should be with my mods, if you dont know my mods look in my cardomain page in my sig i think i can get into the 12s, the car ran good but i felt i could have squeezed just a tad more out of it last night, but it was late and it was closing time. but i still left very satisfied.
and here are the pics
these arent fromt last night these are the ones from the last weekend where i ran slower but u can still see my car in action
i red lighted this pass but note the small wrinkle in the tires lol
yes i know i need new headlights haha!
the guy who takes these pics for the track is GOOD at taking pics!
well let me know what you think.
i am thinking of upgrading the suspension now and maybe a power adder later on.
