I've hot-lapped my auto at the drag strip numerous times without any tranny issues.

I always launch on the second light, miliseconds before the big "GO" light comes on. It totally sikes out the other drivers lol.

(can't tell from the vid, but I was fighting for traction!)

I love this car! First run 2.30 in the afternoon, temps about 88`Density altitude was 2141 feet.



First run....60ft 2.22
13.96 @ 99.18

Best run....60ft 2.17
13.90 @ 99.06

I am thrilled that the car ran this good. I have read many of the threads stating it would do this but I was skeptical. I made about 8 runs. First three were back to back hot laps and as I expected the second and third were a tenth+ slower with a hot car.

When the sun set all my runs were 13.90 to 13.95 with the 60fts in the 2.17-2.18 range. I tried loading up the rpms at the start but never going over 2000 rpms. Nothing seemed to help the 60ft. I guess DR's will have to be in my future if I want to improve it.

Next month I will have the brenspeed tune/CAI installed and am excited to get going even faster.

It was a very successful first time to the track with my stang!

Oh yeah, I am looking forward to the new gofast. When the tranny shifts into fourth it really slows down. I imagine the new tune will help with that.
