RT... .665
60'..... 2.25
1/8ET... 9.335
1/8MPH... 79.01
1/4ET... 14.08
1/4MPH... 98.84

Mods are as follows:

BFG G-Force dr's 225/45/17
Icebox
17" Centerline lightweight wheels

2500 rpm launch with a bit of spin & hop, 4th gear powershifted 2nd & 3rd speedshifted. Gas on last tick, 19's were on the back wheels, temp was 70* 50* humidity. Track was a little moist from raining, so it was still a little tricky to launch.

I'll be going end of the season probably for the last time and try again for my unrealistic 13.99999X.

 

Holy f*ck!

Nice times man, I'm so jealous (maily because you can knock down 2.2 60' times and of your 98.8mph traps).

Do you think your DR's give you the higher traps? I only trap 97mph, at best... usually 96.something... and I am bone stock + Icebox.

 

The slightly shorter than stock dr's (25" tall) probably do help my traps a tiny bit, but bone stock I ran 97'ish mph, so who's to say how much.

Weather affects my mph alot more it seems, if its hot & humid I can lose 2-3mph.

I was hoping for closer to 99.5mph since I added a iebox & lighter wheels, but I'm happy with the ET. I'm gonna ge back in either october or november when its really cool and see if that helps et. Probably ditch the pass & back seats, spare/jack, and really go all out to get a 13.9. Prob wont happen, but here's hoping.

 

dam good time's man. I hope i can touch that when i boost.

 

damn.. i wish i could get traction..

i can trap 97, but my overall 1/4 sucks donkey balls

congrats

 

damn dude, mrsteve got a 14.0 @ 104 w/ his supercharger, amazing that they are so close on ETA.

 

you should change your sig.. lol

 

where did you buy your drag radials, and how much did they cost? Awesome times by the way.

 

On the blackmarket. Bought them very slightly used on stock 01 CL-S wheels for $160 shipped. Sold the wheels for $150 and bought the lightweight 17's, so basically I got the tires for $10.

 

how is the traction on the 225/45/17? do you hook up really well? i'm thinking about buying them.

 

Do you powershift ?

 

thats so weird... my run with (i/h) on my cl-s auto was:
Reaction: .331
'60: 2.297
1/8: 9.691
1/4: 14.93

And my actuator is working
WHY WHY WHY?

The radials must help chip off a 2 or 3 tenths of a second!

 

get headers man, it will work wonders!

 

Nice #s.

Your poor mustang.....time to mod it for christ's sake - the CL is almost as fast. Geez!

 

I'm halfway saved to an S-Trim, and the supporting mods for next spring (intake, roller rockers, ET radials, etc)

They're better than any street tire, but I still spin on them if I try anything over a 3k launch. I have stock susp tho, so if you have stiffer springs/shocks to limit weight transfer it would prob help alot.

Only on the 3-4 shift. I speed shift the other gears, but I dont feel like hurting the car, and I didnt see any better ET's from powershifting the 1-2 & 2-3, mostly because I think I got alot more spin/hop on the 1-2.

 

What's powershifting?

 

Shifting without lifting off the throttle. Speedshifting is letting off the gas, but shifting as fast as possible by preloading the shifter towards the next gear. You stab the clutch quickly, moreso than normal pushing it in.

 

Then what's shifting without a clutch? Isn't there some point at the perfect speed and rpm's you can shift without using your clutch?

 

yea you can if you dont like your sincromesh or forks.

 

well, its not the best for the car but you can do it if your fast enough. Dont bother trying it if you cant shift like Flash lightening. You can ruin your syncros and grind gear. If you shift fast then your car will rev no more than 400 rpms and your car never drops you just launch forward ( powershift = shifting so fast you dont have to let the foot leave the gas ) saves about .2 off the quarter if you do it right.

 

short shifter will help

 

Key difference: I can't drive stick.

But my 60' times were better and I'm on all season tires and stock rims

 

And a nicer track and stiffer suspension

Dont worry, I'll get some 2.1's with some practice and better track prep.

 

Congrats man! Keep playing with tire pressure and launch technique......I gotta dig out the timeslips from last year, there's a few 2.1x 60's with my 6spd under the belt

 

<--- Might head back to the track Friday night if conditions are ideal.

Currently the high temp is forecasted at 71 with the low at 48 Super low humidity too.

 

Good luck man, I'm not heading back till probably middle October or so.
