drag radials.
you'd hit 12s if you pulled a decent 60' like a 2.0
get the mods everyone does just look in my sig, but get an IRS brace also

how did you get away with running that fast in a vert? around here that first 13.9 would have been a warning... and the 13.5 would have been a ticket out of there!!

I know a bunch of tracks are not very strict on verts.

I think his trap speed was why they weren't strict on him.

Slicks and skinnies, and a small shot of spray. Say hello to 11's.

get full length subframe connectors if you plan on running your snake on the track more often, especially with drag radials.

Seriously?

The guy couldn't on this particular day pull withing a FULL SECOND of potential stock times, and you're telling him that going out on some brand new conditions *the wheel combo* and more HP *the nitrous* will net him more than 2 FULL seconds in the quarter mile.

Until the OP gets LOTS more practice with the car as it sits, he's going to be a bad name for Mustang owners. Now, don't get me wrong. Lots of people *including myself* run **** POOR times their first time out. But until you learn to drive a car stock, there is no way you'll be cutting ANYTHING NEAR 11's in that car.

Yeah you can't replace seat time...I agree. Maybe he should run a big shot then. I can't say anything either, my first run was a 14.90 because I literally spun the entire length of the track on my street tires.

Nothing says big power like a mid 13 at 142 mph...LOL!
