redline tonight

[jlyon]

im gonna head out to redline for a few passes. got my intake manifold on and wanna see if the gain was worth it. last weekend i went out there and went a best 9.55 @ 76 with a 2.19 60' time. any guesses on what i may run?

Sounds slow

Whats the combo?

[Sleeper]

You need some practice. I only gained a mph when i switched intakes to my cobra.

Mine ran 8.6's on slicks with gears and intake and exhaust. 8.8s on nitto's and 9.0-9.1 on street tires.

I've got ever timeslip i ever ran in that car at the track. In one year i made over 200 passes.

ok, with the intake manifold on, no vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator, i ran a best time of 9.20 @ 78 2.12 60"

88 GT auto. 10 degrees timing, electric fans, moroso CAI, BBK shorty headers, BBK 70mm throttle body with spacer, 24 lb injectors, shift kit, home made off-road H with flows and 4.10 gears. ofcourse, now it has an Explorer intake manifold. I am VERY happy with last night. the manifold netted me a best 3.5 tenths and 2 mph gain.

I ran consistent 9.0 at 80mph with a stock coupe on bald 225s and 3.73s. 2.0 60ft

My car bone ass stock with 2.73s and everything got a 9.37 at 79mph. That was my first night to take the car to the track. 2.0 60ft

I put slicks on, e fans, pullies and a driveshaft with 3.73 and I got a 8.40 at almost 81.7 1.82 60 ft lol

Strapped it to a dyno and made 231rwhp.. Lol put it on the scales and it weighed 2740lbs.

with my big ass in my car, i have no doubt it's weighing in at around 3400 lbs. was your car a stick? mine is a/t. i still think it's running pretty good

Yes. Those times were made with my old w/c t5 with the 3.31 1st gear.

I now have a 2.95 1st t5z, made a few passes but kept blowing the slicks off f the line. Ran a 8.6 with a 2.0 60ft, launching at 3000-3500rpm.

With new tires it should be a low 8.3 or 8.2 car, but I'll have the h/c/I done before I go back to the track.

My passes were done with stock suspension with no front sway bar.

For a auto GT it's running pretty good, bump the timing up some and see how it runs, put the vacuum back on the regulator too.

Why'd you go 24# inj? My 88 GT ran a 8.53 at 88mph with a 75shot. Bone stock, e fans alum driveshaft and 3.73.

i run 6.63s with 165 shoot (dry kit)on 19lb injs with a stock short and e7 heads (heads have some work)

[jlyon]

the 24# injectors where already on the car when i bought it. im thinking the next thing i do to it will be subframe connectors w/seat support and an adjustable fuel regulator. as i said, it is a work in progress. just doing alittle here and alittle there.



edit: i think they are 24 lb. they are accel yellow top with 24 stamped on them.

i have a couple things i want to do to it first, but i plan on having a 100 shot on it in a couple months or so, i hope. i think i have stock heads, i just don't know for sure. the valve covers have been off though.

[93mcobra]

is it a white gt and if so i saw some of your passes and they look good

[jlyon]

yeah it is. thanks. i tried to cut some good lights

this is it, i scraped the windshield header too.

[jlyon]

i was racing a friend with a 99 GT a/t and we were real close. our closest was me: 9.20 @ 78 and him: 9.23 @ 77. it has been a very long time since i have done that.

Sub frames will do you good. The fuel pressure reg will allow you to tone down those injectors a bit, once you get that play with the timing until you find a sweet spot.

My coupe runs the a9p auto ECM, I set te timing to 13 degrees base.
