Hopefully this works. It's my first time.

1st I overboosted and got out of it, the second two are better with 1.95ish 60'. I don't recall exactly.

Street legal night, no VHT or other track prep, per the owner of the track.

The next two races weren't caught on tape. My wife went home with the camera. They were both 12.45 runs with 1.9 60's. The one run I really wanted on tape was me vs a Head/cam/intake/stall/exhaust WS6. I raced him a few months ago and beat him when we were both almost stock. He says he does 11.60's. He lined up with me and blew his radiator.

He fixed it later.

 

im jealous! i want a turbo! nice runs

 

so you ran similar ETs as before with the juice, but you picked up 5mph?

the car does sound pretty sweet...

 

thanks for postin them man. glad u figured it out.


so what are u shifting at, power shifting, or speed shifting, or granny shifting?

also i forget, how much psi are u running

 

Great runs! Your car sounds pretty sick and looks great!

 

Turbo Mustangs are lame.

 

I'll try to answer all questions.

I varied my launch between 3,000 to 4,500. My best60's were at 4,000 rpms.

My ET in my sig was at the same track, but prepped for bracket racing. Very good conditions that day with great traction. I was ripping off a 1.80 60' on every run. This was street legal night with no track prep. The track was just open to basically go out and play. Weather on this night was foggy, moisture on track at times, and in the lower 50's.

My clutch is sort of slipping, well not sort of, it is. I'm currently researching that. I would assume a slipping slutch doesn't help an ET?

I need a line lock to get good heat in the tires. If you watch the video again, pay close attention to my burn outs, they seem anemic, and lack luster.

My solution for 11.80's is. . .

Clutch,

switch from 4.10's to 3.55's or 3.73's along with new diff

Line lock

If anyone watches the video and sees something I can improve upon, I'm all ears, or eyes so to speak.

 

You don't need a linelock, you just need to start your burnout in second gear. Switching from 4.10's to 3.55's isn't going to lower your ET's. What kind of suspension mods do you have?

 

Ask around to the turbo people. You may be surprised. Short gearing on turbo cars generally will hurt trap and ET's. There is a happy medium obviously, but I can't even reach full boost in 1st with 4.10's and 295/35/18's. There are people who could explain better about the turbo and gearing. I'm just still trying to figure out what to change to when I do.
