I'm really impressed but I also have a question. Are you running the 3.31 gear intentionally or is that just what the car came with and do you plan on changing it. I've always heard that gears are one of the cheapest things you can do to lower ET but it seems like your car is working really great just the way it is.

3.31 gears is bout perfect NA with the 6R80 and a 28" tire, Keeps you in 3rd winding it out to 7800 ..

If I was doing a coyote I think I would go with 3.55s unless I was doing a power adder though.

Not for the auto.

3.55 (stock intake) or 3.73 (Boss or CJ intake) with the manual is the right gear for quarter mile.

I just did a 2014 turbo with 3.31, 93 octane.....blows the tires off on anything under 60.

I almost want to take my stuff off my car and put drag stuff on it and see what I can pull off with a manual.

God, that's fast. I've always wondered if I stripped the car down if I would have ever made low 11s in the 3V.

Really impressive...

Charlie Downing runs a 2010 N/A 3V cobra jet setup (combo is mustang gt short block, frpp cnc heads, frpp intake, frpp cams) and has run in the mid-10's recently. This link from 2014 shows he hit 11.0x

Off the top of my head I think race weight w/driver is like 3150 lbs
