ORIGINAL: fishyduckyi know exactly how u feel man. i just got the mach and took it to the track and could only run a best of 13.807 at 104. i know the car is capable of way more. a couple guys said that its all in my lauch and my 2nd - 3rd shift isnt very quick at all. im going to keep practicing though and try to improve.
You have so much potential! A 4v head. What, 310HP, 318HP? More than my 2v makes at the flywheel with a JLT CAI, 75mm BBK TB & Plenum, UDP's, PYPES exhaust, 4.10 rear gears and a custom Brenspeed tune and I can only do about a 14 flat at 100.
Add those mods to yours and srive better with experience and you will hit 12's! Sure wish I had a 4v! Mark

could that you are driving an NPI...

but a full tank of gas does weigh you down. The best way to race is with like 1/4 tank.

you said it rained earlier well that means moisture on the track and probably a good level of humidity in the air... humid air doesn't befrend horsepower

I only have an o/r X pipe, flowmasters, CAI, underdrive pulleys, 9mm ford racing wires and a MSD cap and rotor kit lmao it was for looks. i got a 410 and i'm wondering if its gonna hurt or help my time due to traction but anyways j/w if 15 is a decent time cuz i'm so used to hearing about everyone in the 13's and crap its so depressing ! lmao i'm lookin at a H/C/I kit for like 2 grand and it'd bring me down to like 13.9 prolly haha n e ways thanks 4 reading threw all that crap ^ c ya
