Best videotaped run of my car that I have. 05 GT SC'd

[Thump_rrr]

I have run a new best of 11.139 a week later but it wasn't caught on video so this will have to do till the spring.

I don't know why but the MPH was way off in both the 1/8 and 1/4 traps.
All 3 runs were within 0.002 which isn't bad for a stick car.

Well done.

Stock block on 12psi?

I second the "is that a stock block?" question, i have to know! I have never seen a stock head/cam/block mustang run like that. I live in a fairly upscale city and there were at least 5 SC'ed mustangs at the high school and NONE ran like that! When my gto was just bolt on i would beat most and give the big boys trouble, but damn if thats stock motor that makes me wanna say screw the Lightning and get a damn S197. Nice runs bro!!

GENO i hate you jk, i love the mystichromes, more than.....ill stop there before my woman walks by!

EDIT: i just noticed your 60's, cutting those makes a helluva difference in your et, no wonder you were runnin so fast, and possibly not trapping where you expected.

Very nice run and your car is one of the best looking S197's I've seen.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yes the car is still on the stock motor.
The only change to the motor is a Meziere EH2O pump and of course the blower along with an 8rib kit and my custom tensioner.
I must also mention that this is a mailorder tune from JDM.
I brought the car to them in the summer of 07 for a custom tune and after 2 pulls Jim D'Amore said not to bother the A/F was perfect.
It has over 1000 1/4 mile runs on it since I installed the S/C in August 2006 for a total of 1,600 runs and 42,000 miles.
The car has never been on a trailer its whole life.

There are many others running much faster than me with less mods on automatics though.

Here is a link to HotRodHarry running 10.73 2 128. He's running a 3.0" upper to my 3.2" upper.

I'm running a set of 28" E.T Drags on Weld XP's which rub the wheelwells so I can't soften up the rear shocks to get good bite.
Last year my 60' was in the low 1.5 range even though 1 was only on 3.55's when I was on 26" tires with the shocks set to soft.
I'm also running 275/40 18" tires on 9.5" wheels up front and I'm still running a front swaybar.

My goal for next year is to run a 10% O/D crank pulley with 60lb injectors and an upgraded MAF to see where this is going to take me along with a set of Bogarts.

The next step is to build up the spare motor I have into a 298 Stroker with stock heads since stage 3 heads cost $3,000.
