Hit the Track today New Best Time....

[2k05gt]

WOW, I did not realize that Long Tube Header would make such a difference.
My best time before Long tubes in November 2007 with same temps 55-65 deg light wind sunny day 12.83 @ 106.66

got to the track around 9:30a and went thought Tech, swapped the tires to my Stock Rims with the BFG DR. and got in line. by 10:39 I ran a 12.681 @ 107 I was very happy with that but wanted to try for a bit more, so a friend pulled my passanger seat out, all I wanted was 12.5 and I got back
in line, 11:55 I hit 12.511 @ 109.36
I was smiling from ear to ear now.. I was ready to go home happy. Rygen said with that trap speed I should see 12.4's so I figure WTF, Go for it.... 1:49p Perfect launch, it just felt right...
60' - 1.845
330 - 5.158
1/8 - 7.936
MPH - 87.91

I saw your run and was sitting next to Rygen when you did that. He said "he's going to shit!".

Excellent job!

Where did you go, we cought up with you early then you pulled a houdini on us ...
I guess by 11:00 most of the BadMustangClub was in the south parking lot so we decided to move over with them
it was cool seeing 200+ mustangs all waiting to race, I Loved it..

 

[Boss281]

5-speed or auto? Your mods are similar to mine, although I have a few chassis lightening items and cams. Next time we're out I think I'll have YOU drive my car! You were on today!

Left at 2:30 as I had promised my son I'd help him pull his 302, then get the new block mounted on the engine stand so he can start rebuilding tomorrow. I really wanted to stay for dinner with everyone but I not only had the need for speed but the need to get my hands dirty. Next time bro's...

Your going to laugh, I bought my 275/40 17 Drag Radials off of craigs List last year for 30 bucks they were well used, but I thought I could get a few good runs out of them, that was 70 runs ago. LOL ...

They are mounted on stock GT Rims

I wish you were too, My son could not make it because of a Job Interview, he usually video tapes my runs. So I have no Video evidence...
and well with your talents on the old Camera could have come in handy

To me, the sound is old school muscle. I can't wait to get my dyno tune in a few weeks before the Superstallions meet at Cecil on April 12. I'm curious what those JBA longtubes added...

Wow--that is impressive with your mods and with an auto with the stock converter. Good mph to for n/a. A good converter and some aftermarket heads and you will be knocking on 11's door.

Long tubes made a big difference on my car to--went from 7.60's to 7.40's in the 1/8th mile last year--I am sure it would have been at least 3 tenths for the 1/4. I think people get caught up with the peak numbers on the dyno, yet ignore the fact that the headers could be worth 15-20 hp through out the entire rpm range---which shows up in the et.
