94cobrachris

hello everyone i am new i was wondering i have a 94 cobra i went to ned and ran on opening day i got 6 runs in my worst run was 14.9 at 100mph and my best was a 14.1at 101mph i have work done ... i have 373, cold air,and headersi ran on street tires my 60fts were 2.6 my rt were in the .600 to .700 this was my first time at the track... i wanted to know if that was good times or bad ... i plane on going again when i get some et streets cause traction was bad .... well let me know what you guys think... thanks

Well yes and no. Get your 60ft's down to 2.0 and you will be in the 13's easily. R/T is good need to work on you launches.

I think drag radials or ET Streets will be be the biggest improvement you can make. Your reaction times are good only if your track still has the old style bulbs meaning a .500 is a perfect light, with the new bulbs a .000 is perfect. Worry about getting the car to launch, reation times will come with more seat time.

I ran a 14.1 on a bad take off and a full tank of gas and my reaction time was like 1.1 seconds. lol. Im gonna work on that. It was the first time I ran that track.

Don't forget, your reaction time doesn't affect your ET. Don't worry about them at all.

Sounds like if you get some traction you'll be in the 13's.

dont mean to hijack the thread, but can soembody please explain to me what a "perfect" reaction time is? because i have a guy at school that says pefect is .000 but people have always told me .500 is the best you can get or youll redlight?

jdaniel

depends on what system your track is using. I thionk most new tracks are using .000 times where the one I race at still uses the .500 time method.

i bought a holly system x twisted wedge heads i have 190 pumpand adj regulator and an anderson custom camhoping to hit 12's need to get suspension have aluminum drive shaft i am just want to hit low low 12's maybee high 11's on motor before adding a blower ... think it is possable.. thanks

jdaniel

maybe really high 12's or really low 13's. You need to do a little more buddy.

Hey welcome Chris and No your times aint that bad. To hit 11s on all motor need to loose some weight and practice some launches.I take it you have a 5 speed ? Your car has the Miles per hour to hit 13.7 or even 6s if you get ur 60ft times down. Work on some traction devices and go back. You'll be amazed what you run. You need 350 Rwhp to hit low 12s but need to loose weight. Go to a dyno see how much rwhp you are pushing and build from there. What size TB and MM are you using? There are thousands of 12 s stangs out there ,it just cost abit of money, at least its cheaper then 96 on up to make HP. Keep us posted and welcome to the forum. Stinger-->
