Yep. Just getting to learn the car with the drastic change. Don't worry. Time will show improvements.

These were my first two passes ever. The clutch on the car is a little weak. I could smell it at the end of the track on both passes. The car dyno'd 426HP/409T. I left the line like a granny trying to learn the car with the changes and as to not leave the clutch at the line. Launch was 1500 RPM if you should call it that. Previous times at another track on a stock setup were 13.35,13.41,13.37 on DR's. So I know the car has much more potential. Just don't wish to push it quite yet.

The stage two kit came with a 3.6" pulley and not a 3.2 so the RWHP and the boost are lower than some kits. I told Brenspeed to dyno-tune conservative. I drive this thing summer and winter, Yes I put Snow tires on it and it goes in the snow 28 miles one way to work.

Once a clutch is inthe car I can better rely on and I have a little more meat on the back end, I will let the hammer drop and should easilly see much better results. A lot more seat time at the track will help as well. I don't race for a living, I ony attend T/T events.

Edgewater Raceway Park - Miamitown, Ohio. Didn't ask for your peanut gallery comments. Don't care for your second hand opinion. It's easy, repeat EASY to throw 4.10 gears in and go straight to the track and jump on it. Been there done that. Not that big of a deal. Adding a S/C well now that's a different story. When you can cross that road feel free to provide me some input. Until then, I recommend you wait until you have experience before you voice your youthful opinion.

Thanks. I have a long way to go in learning how the car will react, and as I have stated several times, I need a new clutch. The stock one (29000 miles) is slipping a bit at the end of the track. I could smell it lightly when I hit the traps. The clutch has got to be upgraded, but I need to make it last through the winter so no more T/T nights this year.

I must admit, I am not into outward effects but your stang looks sharp. It also makes me wish I had the money to do somethign a little more daring. Trouble is I have this bigger addiction to g-force than outward looks.

Those are great numbers. Are you running a factory clutch? If so how many miles are on it? If not which label did you go with?

brenspeed stage three is a 3.4" pulley.

Mr. Moderator,

Didn't ask for your approval. Didn't ask for your attitude. I am proud of what I have done so far. Never claimed it was good. Just claiming I finally hit 12's with room for lot's of improvement. I am sure you hit your low ET (11.87) the very first time you got your Vortech HO installed and hit the track. Wow it must be nice to be an all star professional racer like you. Can I have your autograph? NOT!!!! Get a life. This forum is about sharing and enjoying each others mustang experiences as we all grow with our cars. Shove off if you don't have anything good to say. BTW any one and I mean anyone can drive an automatic . . . DUDE!

I had a factory clutch on it for a little while. It held up at the track decently well, but inevitably started to slip. It's too bad the stock clutch can't hold more power, I could bang gears so easily with it. Clutches in these cars are a PITA! I'm using a competition clutch stage 5 right now. Its very aggressive though, but I track my car all the time, so its a trade off I'm willing to make.

Your DA when you went was about 2057 ft.. that had an affect..your adjusted time is slightly better.. but its obvious with your mph you have the possibility of getting a much lower ET.. You sure are getting defensive.. you just need to work on your launch.. MT ET streets on stock 17" rims will give you all the traction you need. and upgrading the clutch im sure will help.. but you can still burn up a good clutch if you aren't careful...

and as other people have pointed out.. with practice you should be able to get it down.. i dunno why you decided to lash out and attack all the other long time members here because you did poorly at the track. and auto's still have to launch too.. i've had as bad as a 2.5 60ft with MT ET streets on.. didn't do enough of a burn out so i had no traction.. and i've only had a best of a 2.0 60' on stock tires.. other people have done better so there is obviously learning and adjusting to do anyway..
