1992 Mustang
Curb Weight, lbs.
convertible = 2996
coupe = 2775
hatchback = 2834

ok i guess i found it..

i used an online dyno (http://www.uprproducts.com/Dyno.asp) and i think it might be pretty accurate.. so going by the hatch curb weight and my weight its about 3000lbs. and i trapped 97mph in the 1/4 w/ a 14.1 and it says that w/ 3000lbs and a 97mph trap i would have 213.69 rwhp then the ET calc gave me a 14.05 time w/ 3000lbs and 213.69 rwhp do you guys think that the hp is right for the mods i have?

ive found that you have to put down a 1.7 60ft or lower to equal what the et calculators figure. so i would say either your hookin up of you have a little more power than that. by the way my 93 weighs 3400 with me in it. you might be off alittle on the weight.

yea those weight numbers are a bit low and i think that those projected hp for you are prolly close but might be a bit optimistic

lol yea thats what i was thinkin..

and i dont remember spinning my tires when i was launching.. even tho i ran street tires at 25psi and got a 1.992 60ft

i mean all i have for hp mods are full exaust and i removed the air silencer.. oh and also 3.73s but thats not a hp mod..

i should just go run on the dyno for $60/hr i believe it is a dynojet
