Default Taking Bets!

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?

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!

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.
