Not a half bad first run- EVER

August 18, 2007, 12:49:43 AM

Well, my first time out to the track, and i think i did pretty good...
Stock 5.0 HO
Electric Fan
2.5" Dual exhaust
K&N Air Filter

R/T... .541
60... 2.469
330... 6.798
1/8... 10.277
MPH... 69.62
1000... 13.248
1/4... 15.782
MPH... 88.80

Too lazy to scan the slip, but there it is.. Also keep in mind i have a stock AOD with the stock stall, also its a V6 AOD from a 89+ bird. Rear gears are stock lincoln mark vii - 3.27.

Also, im a big guy, 6'4" 330lbs. Im sure i could shave a little time off by shaving a little fat off;)

Those are good times i was just wondering how far above sea level you where at?

Amarillo is like 6,000 FT above sea level kind messes with times and tomorrow i am going out to the track to help fix it up a little and get it back up and running so i should have a vid or timeslips pretty soon i hope.

Other than that 60ft, not a bad run... A 2400 stall would knock prob .2 off it and likely .3 overall...

Hey where was that pass made at? I am thinking of running the bird one last time today, but knowing my luck it will break. Might get a baseline run of the Cougar. We'll see.

I think im roughly 7-900 feet above sea level, and the pass was made at Cayuga raceway. Yeah i think the run was pretty solid, and CougarSE, i managed to dump oh id say like 4-500 lbs out of hte trunk and back seat, so im pretty sure its gotten quite a bit peppier since you drove it :)

That's not a bad time. It matches up quite well with my Tbird's time.
