New PB and Pulling Front Tire

[06MUSTANGGT24V]

I went to the local dragstrip (1000ft) today for some Test and Tune. Came back a very happy man. First off, the DA was an astonishing -325ft at noon when I got there, so I figured now was the time to go for broke. A little information about the car. It is a 3.55 gear car with a BBK CAI, Diablo Predator with a custom tune from Chip@thediabloshop, BBK LT's, O/R X, and Bassani AxleBack. The car has 100% stock suspension except for a front sway bar delete. I was also on my old set of M/T 26x11.5x16s. My first run I noticed nothing different, when a buddy of mine walked up and told me that I might have pulled a wheel. So I go and stage back up and what do you know pulled the left stock 17" wheel off the ground. I am very very happy. Is this normal?

My old PB was a 10.54 at 97.5
Today it was 10.38 at 99.5
For the people who need a picture or it didnt happen

Holy crap nice!!

What did you launch at? did you slip the clutch at all?

Nice pic, congrats and some mine shaft air.

I'm confused, are you racing 1,000 foot? I've raced 1/8 and 1/4 mile and your slip looks like it is in the middle...

Haha I just realized how crap the timeslip picture is! Yes it was a 1000ft track. The nearest 1/4 is 4hrs away in tulsa. I was launching at 5500-6000. I was going for broke, luckily it never happened.
Timeslip to clear it up

1.77 = 60'
5.24 = 330'
8.11 = 660'
87.04 = 660' mph
10.38 = 1000'
99.45 = 1000' mph

Dam!!!! you pulled the tires an they wern't even skinny's

 

[Daniel Day]

Awesome dude! I didn't think our cars would pull the front wheels like that (especially those heavy 17s) with such minimal mods and basically stock suspension.(and I am glad you got that pic to silence all the haters!) Congrats! : highfive:

 

[Daniel Day]

Also, are you running slicks or DRs?

 

[06MUSTANGGT24V]

I was on a 26x11.5x16 slick!

I've done 1.596 60' and I wonder if I have pulled the tires. . . Guess I need to video tape it.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Impressive....hell you even impressed Matt

Sweet! Times had me weirded out for a second..lol.

Just went to the track with my buddy yesterday and he was pulling the LF wheel in his '11 5.0 with CAI/X pipe/tune and stock 19's. He was running 275/40/17 DR's. So it can def be done..lol.

How in the world was he running a 17" DR on a 19" rim?! I have got to see that!

 

[CraigNnem]

19's in the front, 17's With D/R's in the back. At least thats what I think he meant.

I know, I was just giving him a hard time, lol.

 

[TonyN]

LOL, yeah the the wheel he was pulling was a stock 19. So my statement is technically correct damnit! But it does sound funny. Should have read "...stock 19's up front".



Edit: He actually posted up some vids. I only got one video from the front at launch and you can't easily see it on the pc. Very slight but there was a about 1" of daylight. It was clear as day when we watched it in 1080p on the bigscreeen. Now I wish I got more vids from the front.

Dang, No Mods to rear end yet? Shocks, Springs, Axels, or Wheel Studs? That Stang is squating very nice in the rear. Great job
