Default 95gt Track Time

ok, i asked everyone on here what to do to my car about 3 months ago and got some good pointers, i have a 1995 mustang gt (sadly convertable) , K & N cai, "93" cobra intake manifold, gt40p heads, steeda #19 cam, BBK shorties, BBK o/r H pipe, flow 40s, and a 65mm throttle body....

what should i expect to get on a 1/4 mile time??
and my 1/8th mile

thanks for the tips on the car, still doing to finishing touches to the upper intake but it just looks so sexy under the hood =]

Expect 13's. Car should have 12's in it but you'll need some seat time to get used to the car on the track first.

That engine set up absolutely has 12's in it. But not without a gear, upper and lower control arms, at the minimum some trick springs in the front, and a drag radial. Even then, I'd think high 12's are probably a stretch. It is a SN95 convertible after all. That is one heavy car.

My fox has a very similar set up, and while it does run into the 12's, I bet it's 600lbs lighter than a full weight SN95 convertible. Mine does have quite a bit of weight out of it. Don't those weight almost 3600 lbs?

I'll disagree on the 12's due to weight disadvantage but do believe you can run 13's easily if you can drive

i think lmid 13's with low 13's if you loose a little weight and drive the hell out of it, and it hooks, you know what kind of numbers ur putting down??? its all gonna be on ur 60' foot and trap speed... id say 12's are a stretch but not totally out of the question
