tomorrow is the first time that i'll be going to the strip in the tbird! im kinda nervous the rear end will break though! its just the stock 7.5.
im putting in the 8.8 with 3.73 gears next week so i can find out how big of difference it will be between times.
wish me luck!!
i have a HO upper with HO TB
1 inch intake manifold spacer
headers, full exhaust
and a CAI
cobra R 17x9 (chrome)
245/40/17 in the front and 275's in the rear.
running 5 gallons of gas with 93 octane
Good luck. Rear should be fine.
X2... Few people remember the 5.0 Stangs used the 7.5 till '86...
Even if the rear does break, you've got another one ready to go in. Drive it like you stole it and good luck!!
Had more than that when i had my 7.5 and it was fine at the track.
ok, thanks for the support! im racing at 5ish! im pumped!! im going to line up against my friends 1997 grand am V6, all he has is an intake
They ditched the motor cuz teh intake iz mad powuful!!
LOLZ! ROWR!:hick:
Sorry. Had to be done;)
:rollin: 93 in a SO motor
so my best of the night was a 16.2 and 84.5mph. my best reaction time was a .135. and my friends best time was a 16.7. i i beat him.
i beat an STI! but only because he couldnt drive it. i'll post a pic of the time slip when my friend gets home, the slips are in his car.
.0omg, there was a GT500 and a ford racing supercharger on it. and some yellow ZO6 vette told the GT500 owner that his car could kill any mustang. haha the ZO6 ended up running a 12.07 and the GT500 ran a 11.1
You mean it had the upgrade supercharger they use for the Super Snake?
11.1....What tires was he runnin?
yep, and it says ford racing on top of it.
he was using nitto 555 drap radials that where atleast 12inches wide. i have 11 inch wide tires on my car and they made mine look small
not bad run, my Cougar only runs 16.1's for now. once I get back from CJ it is getting the HO swap and T5 finally.
My 10.5" rims are on the way for the 'Stang:evilgrin:
do you think your cobra intake is hurting you because your computer cant deal with more air, or did it help make it faster?
im going back up sunday and letting my car cool down more. before i race this time though. my headers were purple how hot it was
what size tires will you be running on your new 10.5's?
I lost quite a bit of bottom end, but it definatley picked up on the top end...
Solid runs, man...good place to start :) . And your reactions times are way better than mine were for a long time.
295/45-17's. Very close to the stock diameter it's actually 1% larger. I wanted to keep the wheelwell from looking empty.;)
good job i ran like a 16.3 almost a 16.2 clean car and not bad times.
