Well, i will finally be taking my stang to the track for the first time, most likely this wednesday or next wednesday. I havent ran at the track before so i want to know what you guys think i will run. I have a 93 lx hatch 5 speed, short shifter, new cap/rotor/wires, lowered 1.5", and a fenderwell cold air intake. everything else (performance wise) is stock. And i will most likely be taking out the spare tire, rear seat, and passenger seat before i go. Im pretty good driver but never raced at a strip before. What do you think i will get for my ET?

 

Oh, and also, is there anything else i should consider doing before i head to the strip? Thinking about bypassing my smog pump...

 

Well take a tire pressure gauge! Remove ur filter ! Make sure you have35psi or better in the front tires.Drive it like a rental and have fun.You should run 14s with ease. Good luck and be safe!

 

filter as in air filter?

 

yeah remove air filter. and drop the pressure in your rear tires. you were talkin about bypassing smog pump, you could just take the whole serpentine belt off

 

Also if your running street radials and not drag radials then bypass the water box as well.I would say a 14.6 to 14.8 would be my guess if you drive well.Good luck and have fun.

you can really take off the whole belt? It wont screw anything up?

 

he was kidding. your car will over heat. i say 14.9

 

yeah i figured about the over heating thing but i hate it when people kid like that...im here to learn, i dont know whats true or isnt...

 

theres one man in this forum i trust more than anyone when it comes to problems with my car and that man is roundman. he knows alot of sh*t when it comes to mustangs.
