hey i have never been to the track, and this weekend it is a local performance shops appreciation day and me along with some people from our mustang club are going to go. it is an 1/8 mile strip.

Automatic
K&N Filter
4.10's
O/R X
Magnapack Catback
SCT tune
Sumitomo 315's
242 RWHP
264 RWTQ

thanks a lot

oh and another question how should i launched...i figured t/c off, o/d off, rev up and old at about 1300, and then half throttle then full throttle. or shoudl i ease into it, or what? any and all advice is welcome. thanks again

I get an 8.5 with the time below, if that helps any. I can't really tell you where to launch (maybe 2k rpmwith your gears) other than try your best not to spin, be on the verge of spinning, but try not to lose traction. Rev it hard between gears, and powershift.
Definetly turn that T.C off! I would go higher than 1300, the track is a LOT sticker than the street, roll off the clutch around +2k rpms and floor it once engaged. If it's too much and you lose grip, adjust from there. Good Luck

 

Just noticed you are an Auto, scratch what I said about launching 2k rpms and powershifting, just foot brake it and get as high of a launch as possible and roll onto the throttle. If it doesn't spin, try flooring it off the line.

 

anybody else?

 

stomp the brake and gas to the floor together, and give it as much throttle as you can without spining, as simple as that- might taek a few trys-

btw 1/8 mile is lame

 

with an SLP X pipe, catback, tb/plenum, cai, 4.10's and a diablosport, i went 8.80@81 in the 1/8th and at the 1/4th track with this setup i went 13.68@101, mine was an auto also.....you should do about the same... good luck

 

not to be offencive but i dont know who says its a drivers race for an lt1 and a 2v, i ran 8.30s at 84 in the 8th thats like 3mph over bolt on 2v speeds, and that just in the 8th,
but to the op im 8.9@80

 

stock for stock = drivers race...

I am not sure if anyone has ever said bolt on to bolt on.... considering what everyone knows about 2v potential.

 

as far as LT1's are concerned, i could take down bolt on ones.... once they threw a cam in tho, it was all over. A friend of mine was running 8.7-8.9 with full exhaust on his 1997 T/A , and we would trade off wins.... then the @ss puts in a cam and a stall with some mickeys and was down to 8.3 - 8.2
