Headed to Zmax Saturday!!!
Zmax dragway is having an open test and tune Saturday. Realistically what times should I be putting up? I have ran the 1/8 a handful of times and I ran the 1/4 a few times last year but never in this car. I have an 01 engine swap bbk o/r h pipe and a k&n filter stock gearing... idk if there is anything else but i do know it is faster than my 04. Are there any mustang forum guys that will be out there saturday?

I have a buddy who just asked me if I wanted to go down to ZMAX and make some passes on Saturday. I was planning to go to Rockingham on Sunday, but I may change my mind and make the drive down to Charlotte.
A GT with stock gears, o/r mid pipe, and street tires... I would guess 14.1 or so.
You can take your 1/8 mile times and multiply them by 1.53 to get a rough estimate on how they would turn out in the 1/4. The 1.53 is the ratio I have calculated from my last 100 passes at the track. It won't be dead on, but it will be close.
Is anyone else going to ZMAX with you???

Oh...lol By just reading your sig, it makes you look like a bad driver. Besides, I was just messin with ya. Sucks though, any Mustang getting wrecked is a bummer. Good luck at the track. Be sure to post up your numbers. I'm curious to see what you will run.

GOOD LUCK!
I decided not to go down to ZMAX and I'm heading to Rockingham instead. I'm afraid that I'd drive 3 hours down there and then they would fail me in tech inspection. I think I have a component missing from my nitrous set-up to pass the inspection.
Keep an eye out for my buddy with his white G8GT. It will surprise you. He should be 11.5's all day on his street tires. A guy may let him borrow a pair of DRs which should put him in the low 11's.
