You can obviously tell from above feedback that the time is slow for your mods, but heck not bad for your first time ever. Your car as it sits, even with street tires, has a very low 13 sec. pass in it in my opinion. It's a matter of if alot of seat time and getting **** with the details is something you're interested in. Either way, so long you have a good time.

lol how can you say MPH not bad?
100 mph trap is crap if the car is making anywhere near the claimed 297 rwhp
My frickin bolt on, auto, NPI with a stock converter would trap 101-102.
My brothers 00 GT with your average bolt ons and 4.10s traps 103-104 mph
With nearly 300 rwhp I would think his traps would be approaching 110 mph?

exactly what i was getting at, everyone seems to look at the 60's and et's and skip over the low mph which spinning doesn't effect.

Took my 2003 mustang gt(34,000 miles) to the track for my first ever experience.
My car
stick, custome tune(lidio), headers, CAI, 3.73, Throttle and plenum, cam
I had a very hard time hooking up on my stock tires(original that came with car)
Best run avg run
60ft 2.245 2.3
1/8 9.284 9.4
1/8 speed 80.15 79
1/4 14.082 14.25
1/4 speed 100.62 100
what do you think?

UPR suspension and sticky tires will drop almost a full second off of your quarter mile time, so there is that.

But Justin's right, something's fishy with that trap speed. Trap speed isn't affected very much by traction or lack thereof, and I ran 13.89 @ 100 in my stock '99 GT 5-speed on stock tires. I'm concerned that there may be something up with your engine. Any possibility of a bad coil or something?

Seems kinda high to me. I'm running 14.7 on cai, short shift and axle backs and that is with a da of 8900ft. My buddy ran a 14.2 with headers tune and intake and block off at 7500ft. I'm not sure what altitude your track is but I know it's better than ours. It sounds to me like you might be spinning the tires quite a bit.

His mph will be off, it's his 1st TIME EVER to the track. Crappy original 245 street tires I'm sure yielded sloppy traction in more than just 1st gear, and that WILL slow mph. I'm sure his shiftpoints in each gear haven't been perfected either, that also has a HUGE effect. Fife, your mph and ETs improve with each trip to the track.

^^^^have to agree. My first time out to the track in the stang my first run was 15.4. After getting used to the car I got a 14.7. I still think he might be spinning tires but get used to the car and do it some more. You should be in the 13's easy. Also I'd still like to know what altitude you are at and what the da is. It can effect it quite a bit just going down in altitude or da can have a big effect.
