13.57 @ 106 N/a Wtf?

[WinSomeLoseNone]

Went to Highschool drag day at Maple Grove This past sunday and was disappointed. My best run was
1/4 - 13.57
MPH - 106
R/T - .26
All the other runs were about the same. I was running N/A as this was the first time I tracked the car and didnt want to spray so i could get a baseline. With this time I was in the top 10 out of 300 cars. Although after reading around It seems this was a slow time. I had a great launch and chirped every shift (didn't believe it till I saw the vid). Am I running ok times with the small mods ive got. Remeber this was running N/A no N2O.

Any guesses on what ill run with a 125 wet shot through a TB plate(hits much harder than a nozzle).

Those times are not to bad, but what is your 60' time. Your mph should be good for a 13.2-13.3 at least.

Im actually at school at the moment.... thats from memory im gonna post up a pic of the timeslip tonight when i get home.
Oh and fastest car at the track was a older mazda RX7???? WTF it was in the 11's

This is at a highschool student only on street tires only (no DOT DR's) competition.

You did good. You have to be a VERY good driver to be in the 12's with regular all season tires. When I go on my street tires I usually run 13.1 @ 109-110 mph cutting 2.2 short times.

Thats not bad at all man. Just looks like you need some seat time. Your not gana jump into a car like this and click off some bests the first night out.

Thanks for the support. Im heading back the next two weeks in a row. I've never had so much fun, im completely addicted to the whole track experience. I cant wait to see what I run while spraying. Well AFTER I get a new clutch. Mine slips only when I spray.

Looks like the new 3 valve Mustangs have the stock LS1 beat. My 06 ran a 13.42 @ 101.80 mph. I did have an ASP underdrive pulley but other wise stock.

Better watch out for those new stangs!

A 13.4 but only 101mph???

the new stangs are killer out of the hole when properly driven!!

the new stangs are killer out of the hole when properly driven!!Not sure I would call my stang's 60' a killer but it was a 2.011. With a loose converter and traction it might be considered killer for a stock engine in a car that weighs 3620#.

Last friday i ran my car at the track for the first time. I have 275 BFG's on my '02 z-28...i ran a 13.7@ 103.44mph... thats with everything stock my reaction time blows tho.

[Green Monkey]

Sounds like you did very good, especially with street tires. Chirping the tires will actually cost you a bit of time. Get some drag radials and that time will definitely go down. I loved it when I got mine, I used to chirp them all the time with street tires, but when I put the drag radials on and she hooked on my 1-2 shift it really helped my time.

My car ran with a Lid 13.54 @ around 106, so is a normal time for the F bodies. Now I am running 12.6's @ 106 with a 1.695 60 foot n/a.

:Ohno:

[ShisHKbob]

that's not too bad, seems about right for these cars. I took my 2000 SS 6spd a few weeks ago and only managed a 13.65 @ 106.3 with a 2.3 60'

In the early stages, I just look at the trap speed to see if the car actually has the power it should then I start tweaking it with different mods (tires, suspension, weight, etc) to get the short times down.

Seat time, seat time, seat time is the best tool/mod.

That's comedy. They run 14's over here.

That's comedy. They run 14's over here.There are a few Mustange owners that don't know how to drive. Mine ran a 13.42! Maybe this ASP pulley gave it over .6 improvement because that's all that was done to it.

[SSwt00SS]

no pulley set up i know of drops any 1/4 mile et by .6 seconds. pulley set ups are about $150-200. that would mean more HP and TQ gains than from headers and ory. if that were the case, who would spend $500+ for headers, etc for a .3 second faster time when you could supposedly spend a fraction of that and gain twice as much?! im calling BS on the .6 second pulley gain claim... :denied: :ughlaugh: :hellno:

Something else is involved here! Whether it be driver, weather, tranny or weight of cars difference something made theirs run in the 14s if mine will run a 13.42.

You must've gone to one of those downhill tracks.

You must've gone to one of those downhill tracks.You discovered my trick. Houston Raceway Park is a down hill track!
