Still cant get into the 11's

[NickG]

Got a new personal best last night. but still not what i was hoping. I was running 12.42 with a 2.0 60' before the converter and my new times just dont add up to me after the converter install i expected better times. What do yall think?

My mods:
2012 Mustang GT Auto
Circle D 3600 converter
Offroad H pipe, resonators removed
Hushpower axleback
3.73 gears
LCA's
Adj. Panhard
LCA reclocation brackets
JLT CAI
26"x10" MT Slicks

I just *had* to....

Keep at it man, a good air day and you're there, or chuck out some weight.

I would go down in rear gear. A 26in tire with 3.73s is a pretty steep setup that is probably hurting bad on your top end.

Who did the tune for the converter? My car is very similar set up to yours. I was running 12.50's and dropped into the 12.1x's after converter/3.73. On a good air night last October I ran 11.90's. I am running 28 inch tall drag radials. I know my issue is race weight. I'm running this car around 4050 lbs. All you need is some good air to run in and right now in Texas that's just not happening.

Are you shifting into 4th with the 28 tall tires?

Who's your tuner?

I think so, but I'm not really paying attention to how many shifts the car is making. Maybe next time I'm out I'll pay more attention. I just nail it and hang on.:thumbsup:

Only 88/112 MPH? You've got all the right parts to run 11s easily. I'm willing to work with you to get it up to potential if you want to bring it over to San Antonio raceway sometime. Bring your stock airbox.

 

[NickG]

Im thinking about buying some 305/45/18 drag radials and putting the boss intake on and letting it rev to 7700. That should keep my car in 3rd through the traps

 

[kdanner]

You're not going to make it in 3rd with that gear. Not when the car runs the MPH it should anyway. 3.31 is really it.

It would be hard to get out to san antonio. I guess i could take a vacation and go back to the river walk. It would prolly be awhile till i could though....
Why the stock air box?

I've worked with several different brand CAIs as well as the stock airbox on these automatic cars. All respond as expected, except for the one you have, it throws the shifts and lock schedules way off. This can be bandaided in the calibration, but that is the wrong thing to do for a hardware problem and I don't do it. Based on the what you have, I don't see any reason why your car shouldn't be running 11.50ish. Just needs the tune worked out, and that CAI off there. MPH flat out says the car just isn't making any power right now and you're running at the fastest track in TX already.

 

[stang1971]

u have more mods then me and i run 11.8's

 

[MikeLTDLX]

Who is tuning it???

 

[wbt]

Sounds like your tune is WAY off. I mean WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY off.

 

[Spd2Stang]

What track were you running at OP?

DA was 2-3K throughout the weekend, but that trap seems really low for your mods.

I dont see anywhere in this thread where you have even mentioned a tune of any kind. People have asked, but you have dodged the question.

Whats the verdit? that car tuned? if so by whom?

 

[luv2drum1]

Who's your tuner?

According to his post history on this site. AED tuned his car.

I would contact AED and provide additional datalog information to see if there is room for improvement.

 

[D.T.R]

You have enough mods for mid 11s on an auto, like someone else said.
Also, you're only trapping 112... that's almost stock trap territory.
