he had a cold air and a cat back, 5 speed and i dont know what else. the first race i was on the bottle in every gear and rolled smoke till about 70 (literally) and lost by about a car. the second race i stayed off the bottle in first, let him jump a car on me and then passed him by about 1 1/2 to 2 cars and was still pulling hard. he's got a new rear end to throw in and some headers this week hopefullly we get to race again after he finishes that. i think if i get some sticky tires i can get him off the line though. so far im pretty happy with the tour, the guy i raced said he is anywhere from a 13.9 to a 14.2 on the 1/4, so if i hook up i got a chance at some good times i think :pepper:

Rolled smoke til 70mph? That was probably clutch smoke, since you aren't making enough power even with a 100 shot to smoke the tires to 70mph. And if you had, these cars don't exactly go anywhere when spinning that bad. But hey, what do I know? :bs:

Well, his speedo may have read 70mph if he lit'em up that much.

Nice runs though.

My car wont hook under 45 on spray but after that its all traction.... :shrug:

Even with 450-500lbs of torque a mustang cant even spin until 70. Still seems like a fast little contour though. I wouldnt push that little duratech too hard though........

You'd be surprised at what these things can handle.

I used to have a 99 cougar with the 2.5 duratech. They like to blow the head gaskets on spray. Do not run more than a 75 shot. Just because it says "duratech" doesnt negate the fact that it still has hyperectuic pistons.

The best they will run with a 3Liter hybrid engine, ported heads, true duals, and suspension parts is a high 13 second 1/4 mile.

Nitrous on one of those 3 Liters will just make alot of wheelspin unless you can find some stronger axles for it, slicks, and polyurethane motor mounts.

So after a new engine, new axles, slicks, nitrous, and a tune you can see some low 13's...... :-D

The 2.5L and pre 00' 3L had poor piston ring land designs. The later revised ones have taken 10lbs from 60 Trim T3/T4 as well as a 100 shot of nitrous fine.
