Default Been trying to hit 14's on n2o and 15's all motor



The mustang is All back to stock and i've been trying to sell but, having second thoughts since i've owned since 2012.

Either way in this setup:
Gt Rear with 3.55's
Ford Racing all Aluminum Driveshaft
Ebay Short shifter
hotchkis Lower control arms(stock upper)
Nitrous express Proton plus kit - 100shot
Modified Ebay CAI with KNN 4" truck cone filter
Pacesetter Long Tube headers Leading to two Thrush Turbo mufflers dual setup(exhaust is literally just 1 foot and 11" with muffler on each header)

Getho(i setup) tune for 87 Octane For both All motor and 100shot... I don't reflash when use n2o. But i run it on 91 Octane.

As you can see on n2o the Power drops rapidly when gets close to 4k rpm.
All Motor the power keeps smooth.

When it was stock i ran 17.3-17.7's
With parts it runs 16.2-16.3's ALL Motor and 15.010-15.5's on N2o.

Timeslips are

ALL MOTOR
RT - .314
60ft - 2.531
330 - 6.939
660 - 10.545
mph - 67.42
1000 - 13.694
mph - _?_
1320 - 16.340
mph - 84.49


Nitrous are the same up to 330 but i lost them so

60ft = 2.4-2.5
330 = 5.8-5.9
660 = 9.8-9.9
1320 = 15.01 - 15.10 (when bottle is full FRESH)

I run it on a 5lb bottle...(2nd pass is .3sec slower 3rd pass is .5sec slower then goes slower)

The dyno run was done at the track last time i ran n2o... At the track

So, looking at my powerband is there any hidden way to go faster or is Drag radials, higher gearing and more suspension mods needed?

I launch at 2,200rpm (it only chirps)
shift from 1st to 2nd @5700-6000rpm (Activate nitrous when grips and starts rolling past 2200rpm, too scared to activate from dig)
2nd to 3rd at 5500-5700rpm
Stay in 3rd till end, its somewhere around 5000-6000 never look. traps at 95mph on nitrous or 85mph All Motor

so any tips?

Need either a split port swap or swap in a 97-04(?) 4.2 out of an f150/e150

I made a tune for it with a Sniper Performance Unit.
Tune meant for 87 octane for all motor but i use 91 instead of 87. This was through trial and error as i would get ping or misfire if tried to make a tune for 91. Also through racing it with different settings.

I use same ALL Motor tune on nitrous(After i got tired of reflashing to n2o tune, that i made). i run it with ZEX spark plugs. The project came to a halt after my nitrous solenoid died After 1 and 1/2 years of service(It stayed shut thankfully).

Would swapping over to 4.10's gears help pick up on my 60ft -330ft? I'd do rebuild on GT rear if i install.

so either way for more power i need to upgrade to split port, dang.

The power and torque to run in 14's is their and the 95mph trap speed from what i seen is proof. Have any of you run at the 1/4 mile? Any tips?

I've heard, running the rear tire pressure at 20psi helps Et's is that ture? i've never tried. Or would some drag shocks and springs help me launch harder?

Should i get a proper tune done? i heard of a new tuner unit that came out on American Muscle forgot the name but should i just fork over the money to buy it and then find a shop to do full tune?
