As the title says my little stang didn't perform as I'd hoped.

My best time was 14.62 @ 95.09 MPH with a 2.1 60 FT.

Now granted I am @ 3200 ft above sea level and was running street radial tires.

I know drag radials would help alot. My mods are in my sig other than tubular u/l control arms and alum d-shaft. I am still running stock rockers. What can I do without changing major components to get a little quicker?

FYI.. the stock 5.0's were running 16's and 17's.

 

Im wondering if maybe 3.55 is not a tall enough gear, but is there much of a difference going to 3.73? Im thinking theres a slight give and take of street / highway driving there, but not much. So in favor of highway driving the 3.55 would be beneficial. Anyways, heres what I was using-

BTW I think stock 5ohs should be running 14 , 15s

 

Stock 5.0's wont run 14's or 15's at 3200 ft above sea level.

 

thats not bad for the elevation...

but its still not good

 

I race ar high alitudes too.
One way to run good is to use gear than you think you need. I.E. if you think you need 3.73, use 4.10.
You also need to remember that if you are at 3200' statute, what was the air density. It can be 5500-6000 real easy.
If you know the density altitude then you can see what the performance should be at sea level.

 

Yeah, not only is it 3,200ft elevation, but it's August.

 

even at the elevation those times and mph are a little off for the mods you have

 

how consistent were the times?

with that trap speed i dont think u will get out of the 14s

 

thats not helping your times any at all either

 

I did spin pretty bad through 1st and part of second. Any ideas where I can improve?. It didnt matter what RPM I launched at the times stayed between 14.6 and 14.75
