sn95 5.0 - I went to the track. -- help? i think?
as i stated before, i didnt know what was up with my car.
what was done to it.
since i bought it i beat alot of cars,
srt4, 2002 GTs, and so on.
well i went to the track on saturday for a local test and tune at lapeer dragway.
it was sunny but pretty chilly.
i ran the best of a 14.5 at 97 mph.
but when i snapped second, i spun the whole thing of second. and had to feather it out to get into third.
it was my last run because the track shut down because of a coolant/water spill.
a guy behind was supposed to be running 11's and he ran a 13.
so you guys can kinda get the idea of the track quality.
as far as i know.
my car------
1995 Mustang-
origianlly v6 - but now the 5.0 swap.
T5 trans.
7.5 rear end(but i got an 8.8 - just waiting for winter :-))
full 2.5 exhaust, flowmaster 40 series, off road h-pipe - stock headers.
i have done the research, and my car either way, shouldnt run a 14.5
give me some ideas of what u guys may think is done.
thanks

umm idk but with reg street tires, and a 7.5 rear those times seem pretty accurate to me. without a stickier tire i doubt you could cut its much, maybe a tenth or 2 with a beter 60 ft time and some experience. get some gears and drag radials and 13's will be simple.

I can tell you never have been drag racing, my 92 when my wife runs it on street tires runs 14.3's @ 97..........THROW me in the seat and with a set of slicks I make the car run 13.70's @97-98 mph, over a half second better because I drive it harder and I launch it hard and make it hook up.
