Congrats!

I remember that feeling also. My first run in the 7's made me so happy I yelled and screamed for an hour, I think!

 

[1SLO306]

nice time!!! they must prep that track awesome.

 

[rsw007]

good job, i remember not being able to sleep after getting home frome the track after my first 12 second 1/4 mile pass.

 

[slo65]

Whats the next mod gonna be?

i'm thinking bigger maf maybe, i know it's technically not a "stock" motor with the explorer upper/lower, i really wanted stock motored 12's but i got impatient, so i'm gonna work on getting more consistant, my 60's last night were for the most part 1.75 1.76, if i messed up like 1.80, next time out i want my 8.59, i should get a helmet

 

[NC85]

Nice times man! I'm going to have to get off my can shoot down those 8.50s before the track closes.

I really need a set of those lowers in my life

 

[slo65]

lowers helped quite a bit, i remember launching aroudn 4k pre lca's/sfc's and it would spin, now it just hooks

 

[90mustangGT]

Nice run. Thats a good ET especailly for your mods and considering the MPH. What were your 60's?

I'm jealous! Got my 306 broken in nice and then my heater core took a crap on me. So now the 90 is on punishment. Gas and oil will be the only mods for the rest of the year

1.75, 1.76 - 1.80, 1.82, last night was my first time in the 1.7's .. before my best was 8.70 w/1.82 60'

Whoa!

You read my mind cause thats what I was gonna say

what kinda burn out do you do? do you drive thru water box? if so DON"T......drive around it and do a good burnout....could get that 60 down a little more. and here is another tip! NEVER DO A DRY HOP after your burnout! waste what you just did (cleaning off your tires/heating them!)

I remember the first time I ran in the 8's. IT was with my 82 GT with 91 GT motor with carb, 4.10's and a C-4 with art car convertor. After that I kept diggin and finally got that puppy down to a 8.88! My carb was to big, my tires to slippery, and I was haveing the time of my life!

I bet this pig I drive now won't run a 9:40 in the 1/8 mile! lol

at my local track there's no way to go around the box (yes i'm not lying), then i do a 1st gear (yea yea i know ) burnout, suspension is stock aside from full length subframes, and lower control arms, i think that 60' isnt that bad, i dont do dry hops either, just a decent smokey burnout then leave the line round 4k

kk time to eat din din <3 :SNSign:

 

[urban96]

congrats mr sean

 

[rsw007]

[88_GT_5_oh]

your 60' gives me a chub



thanks joe

i'm just kinda worried about stuff breaking now, not so much the axles, or wearing out the diff (recently rebuilt) but just like the trans, i hear 3rd gear isnt a good one to powershift, but eh i guess we'll see, kinda hard having your daily driver your race car

 

[25thmustang]

Nice work... and see how listening to my advice on shifting helps, LOL!!!

Now go get that 8.59 and then faster!
