11.787 @ 117.82 Mph

[elmo0244]

I went to Bowling Green on Saturday to improve on my previous 12.07 that I thought was really disappointing and I knew my car could get a better time than that. This is what I ran.

First run
R/T .115
60 ft 1.897
330 ft 5.027
1/8 7.666 @ 94.50 MPH
1000 ft 9.933
1/4 11.847 @ 118.19 MPH

Third run
R/T .618
60 ft 1.809
330 ft 4.944
1/8 7.584 @ 94.36 MPH
1000 ft 9.865
1/4 11.787 @117.82 MPH

The second, fourth and fifth runs weren't anything to brag about! I either spun or shifted from third to second! Getting the Cobra in the high 11's was one of my goals for the year and I knew she had it in her!!!
:rockon:

P.S. I really think the Brisk plugs helped. It accelerates alot smoother.

:thumbsup: Saw you 11.7 pass, sweet! I couldn't seem to get mine into third. I would like to say it was too much flex but I fear it was driver error....Still learning the car.. I did cut a .499 light though.

Third gear in the mustang can sometimes be tricky, but I'm better at hitting third than I am at hitting fourth! :lol:

Good Job ELMO and good metting ya. Looks like the Brisk plugs helped ya for sure. I got some new best traps 101 1/8 and right at 126 1/4 at best but couldnt get any descent 60's!! We'll have to meet up again down there when the weather gets chilly! Props to ya on busting down into the 11's and driving it home!!! Gotta love these cars I drove mine 2hours went 11.30's with a shitty mid 1.8 60ft and got some new mph bests and then drove the car back, doesnt get any better than that!

can you get your p.m's now?

 

[WIRELESS]

Yeah I was clicking the little red box instead of the P.M. bar. I'll give you a call...I have an extra Diablo tuner for an 03-04 Cobra if you know anybody up there that wants one.

Nice new set of times. I know what you mean about third gear. I constantly had that same problem with mine. My Tri-Ax didn't help but I was told that a Steeda clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster would have helped a lot. But I see that you have them installed. That mod didn't help then?

nice times elmo !!! I hope to run an 11 second 1/4 mile by the end of this year as well !!

yep my best time that day is in my sig.this was my first outing with this new setup and so far i have only made 13 quarter mile passes with the cobra.6 on stock pulley,2 when i had the rr2.75 and now 5 with my rr2.60.i still need a little more seat time to get my 11 sec pass,but the more i run the more comfortable i'am getting with the car and concentrating better on shifting quick.

you were getting some real nice 60' times:beer:

yea maybe we can meet there again sometime.
