Went to the track tonight and made three runs after some practice of:


13.121 @ 105
13.056 @ 106
13.101 @ 105



Had the launch down but kept wheel hoping.....need traction bars asap

I have the same set up, but with different tune and 4.10 gears. Good air and heat up the nittos will get you a 12.6-12.7 at 106 to 107 dont fear the gear:D

Feel your pain brother. I feel your pain.

That should change now since you got retuned and added more boost. Hopefully that 12.99 is there, lol.

but with 4.10's wouldn't you be singing on the highway, i just had 3.73's in my stang, and it turned 3k doing 80. i think these motors are too heavy to do that on a routine basis, no.

nah I turn 1900@ 55 , my mpg went up 1. Remember that kick in da pants the #4 pulley and tune gave? well the 4.10s do the same,you cross the line about 5000rpm so if I want to go #6 I have a little room:D

well i guess thats alright, ill just up the power to make up the difference in ratios. does an e-fan make that much of a difference, i've always heard that it adds about 15 rwhp.

I know the feeling. Last time out, the best i could was [email protected]. I was getting so close but never made it.

To attest to the factory intercooler, on a 6# lower, i ran 14 back to back runs, not even turning her off in between, and all the runs were with 2-3 tenths of each other, on street tires. My best run was about 8 runs in.
