What will I run?
Finally able to make it to the track tomorrow since putting on the LTs. Let's see who's got optimal knowledge as to how fast a Mach can go given ideal conditions and a certain combo of mods............ahem, who's got mad guessing skills. Last trip to the track was a record setter for me, ran 5 runs in the 12.30s with 2 being 12.304. However, that was with an o/r X pipe and I've since installed longtubes and catted X. Temps will only reach around 50 so sounds like good power. Shooting for a 12.19 or better but we'll see how she goes. Will get a vid posted for your viewing pleasure if I can.

60'.............1.695
1/8 mi.........7.780 @ 89.58
1/4 mi.......12.150 @ 112.68
I don't know if I should be elated or mad. The LTs helped! Among a slew of 12.3s w/ short times hurting from a cold track, I ran a best of 12.150 @ 112.68. The 1.69 60' matched my best so I thought I'd reached the threshold for what the car can do with it's current mods. But on my last run of the day I launched a 1.66, only to be wasted by somehow missing 2nd gear, lol. Boy was I mad, I knew I wasted a good one. Using the tenth/2 tenth rule, the car might have a 12.0x on a perfect run. Man I don't know, just frustrated. None the less mission accomplished. Here's an in-car vid of a 12.31 pass. Didn't come up with the tie-up-camera-to-the-visor trick until later in the day.

I am just flabbergasted on how you pull those times off in your car, just great driving. Like some members here have mentioned, get your mach dyno tuned and I am pretty sure you will reach 11's.

it's impossible to put an exact number on how much good air quality and a good track help out, but I have both. MIR is known for being a fairly fast track, elevation is somewhere around 60' and it's always well prepped. Also, I've pretty much stopped running in hot muggy conditions, there's just no point in running a half second slower.
