Well I use the tires that were stock on the s/c. I usually shift at 5800 or so , all cars are different. When you feel like your not pulling anymore you should shift.

Wow man that is awesome! I may have to take a trip from Wichita up to Kansas City to check that out. My best is 12. 48 in my SC, but I have been doing the drag thing for 12 years now as a hobby. Wow very impressive numbers there POLK and the videos are awesome. How did you attach the camera? It is very stable throughout the video, and I don't see any shimmy of it as you shift. NICE JOB!
My first trip down the 1320 was in November of 2005, I'm still a newb.

Here's the bracket for the cam:

Thanks, but no, its not a clone. Its a Mustang GT with some Saleen parts. The wheels were chosen because of their weight (or lack of).

Besides the Saleen badge that comes with the grill, the only other badge I installed was the "S" wheel badge, I thought it looked a lot cooler than the pony tribar. I did buy the other badges when I was scrambling to acquire parts, but I decided against putting them on and I will probably resell them.

I hate the rear of the new Saleen body kits, IMO, its a huge piece of plastic that jets out and doesn't maintain the classic Mustang identity, but I LOVE the way the Saleen SC's look from the front, so that's the look I went for, kind of modern but classy at the same time.

Thanks,
Toby

What are you running? Do you have any more pics of your car? I would like to see a car with everything but the back. Very interesting.
