oh so close!!!!

[USMCBULLIT]

Well our local mustang club had a track day and I decided to go have a ew runs. Last time I was out there I ran a 12.7 on street tires. Well after a few passes today I ran a 12.45@ 118 60ft 2.1 falken street tires. Was pleased with that for street tires. Well my buddy let me use his et streets and I ran a 12.08 @ 118 with 60 ft of 1.9. I wanted that 11 sec pass so bad but they closed the track earlier than expected. Weather was nice 51 and sunny. Track wasnt prepped that well but still good runs. I think i got a total of 10 passes in today it wasnt packed at all. Mostly mustangs out there a few corvettes and 1 new camaro ss getting spanked all day haha.

Congrats! If you improve on that 60ft even .1, you'll be in the 11's! With a little practice, you'll be there no problem.

[USMCBULLIT]

thanks. thats a nice ride! my buddy has one over here but its hard top not convertible.

[Bird]

With that speed, you're definitely in the 11's with a little more practice on that 60' - my 11.52 run was at 118mph.

[USMCBULLIT]

Yeah i hope to get it before the new year haha. If not still got plenty of time.

[1Quicksilver]

What was your MPH?
Edit: just read that again= with a 118mph, you should be running somewhere around a 11.65, providing everything was "perfect" on the run. go get em!

thats so odd you are just above the 11 second zone! especially on slicks!

I have a auto 01 "cobra" that only has 330rwhp and I run a 11.98 @ 112mph. The car could run better thanks to my "great" 1.780 60ft time, but i DD the car and didn't want to burn up the converter trying to launch over 2500. on that pass, i launched @ 3200 and thats about as comfortable as I got with it.

Your pushing almost 100 more rwhp so you SHOULD be in the mid/low 11's with some good driving and a properly working suspension to transfer the weight.

[USMCBULLIT]

Yeah i'm still on the stock suspension but i know i can get the car into the 11s just got to keep practicing i'm not the greatest driver hahha

[machgsxr]

Best of luck getting into the 11's. A little more seat time and practice with the et streets you should be there.

That mph is there for mid-high 11's if you can just work on getting that 60' down.

[Agent Jones]

congrats.

[USMCBULLIT]

whats the easiest way to lower 60ft times?

[thatdavidkid]

practice... see what works for your car.

[1Quicksilver]

whats the easiest way to lower 60ft times?

slicks and a high launch rpm! LOL

or slicks, a tight converter and nitrous.

or slicks, a loose converter for just motor/turbo's.

beyond that, weight transfer really comes into play, but in the end, the more power you make, the lower the 60 you can theoretically get if everything is working "as advertised"

[USMCBULLIT]

i usually launch at 3k rpm and let it go from there since i'm still getting used to the car. should i launch higher than that? i got mt et streets now so going to use them next sunday because our track here is closed this sunday

[keg65]

Try higher rpm, if you keep traction and the clutch holds, and if you don't break something :P Guys with auto trans have it easier, but can't launch too high with out a higher stall converter.

[311-420]

I would launch much higher than 3k with Et streets. Drop pressure to around 10psi before burnout and try 5k rpm instead.

[USMCBULLIT]

well i'll probably launch around 4 this time around its my daily driver dont want to break anything until i get another car to use as my daily driver.

[311-420]

Some BFG drag radials would be your best choice. Better bite than street tires but not too much, you'll still spin but it will help keep the weak OEM 28 spline axles from tuckering out so fast.
