Good times Gotta love how even the small shot is helping out so much.

I'll be getting some nitrous runs in soon (likely next Fri or Sunday) and will post a n/a run vs. the 75 shot.

schweet. how do you like the Sneeky Pete setup?

 

[FoxRod87]

why do you say you would run out of track in the 1/4?

 

[crzyhrse99]

That's some good times to be running at Eng Mtn, I usually run 9.0-9.3 there depending on how much I spin . Have you been to 411 or Knoxville Dragway, if you havent you should take an extra 30 min drive to go to either of those tracks and I bet you will easily have a personal best. I usually go to 411 and run 8.8-9.0 and its a level track not an uphill track like Eng Mtn .

PM me whenever you wanna head up this way to go run again, we could have some close races....at least while youre N/A

I love the Sneeky Pete Setup! The only problem is you cant run regular jets to up your shot, you have a little nylon line that goes to your intake instead of a 4an Braided line. For a 50 shot you use no jet in it because the nylon line is so small. The kit comes with 20hp, 25hp, 30hp jets with a max shot of 50hp. I wanted this kit for that reason because later on I wanted a little shot to go with the procharger when i got a forged bottom end and all. I have the soleniod hid under my kickpanel on the passengerside no one and i mean no one has found any lines yet that would ever reveil i have nitrous lol.

The reason i cant run 1/4 miles good is when i cross the et line my car is tached out in 3rd and with a 4R70W tranny you dont go into 4th at WOT it will go boom lol!

Crazyhorse it would be awesome to go run with ya somewhere! I have always wanted to meet a fellow stangnet'er. It will be spring but that would give us enough time to get things planned. By this spring I hope to have Crower Stage 2 Blower cams in with a PI Intake if I can find some adapter plates for the intake, I dont want to do the RTV thing and I am not changing over to PI heads. My goal and everyone know's is to have the fastest Street NPI car.

All in all I am very very happy with those times, the track is slippery and track prep isnt that great lol, but it turned out to be a awesome day!!

~edit: You can change the line over to a 4an braided line and buy a NOS jet kit and up it to 125hp, but you have to get the fittings & 4an line to run from soleniod to the intake. It comes with great soleniod.

What are you crossing the traps at (speed and rpms)? I had 4.10s and my car would do 115-120 topping out 3rd, though that still wasnt enough at the track. LOL

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

how is he trapping out 3rd? I can trap 3rd all the way up to 120 if i could

 

[CobraM23]

He probably doesnt have his shift points recalibrated. On stock tune, max upshift rpms is 5500. Mine would shift into O/D about 100' before the 1/4 line back when it was stock. Now with a tune and the shift points elevated, im like you guys and can tach almost 120 in 3rd before hitting O/D

 

[mustangman9812]

well it isnt that I cant i just done like doing it, i can do 120 in 3rd too max out. I just typed it wrong on here sorry lol. I just dont like 1/4 mile tracks lol
