track tonite

- Start date
Someone was running a bone-stock L this weekend at FFW in Fontana (minus intercooler reservoir upgrade, which isn't really a power mod unless you have every other possible bolton already).
She was running consistent mid to high 13's. Maybe with a little luck, cooler air, and better track prep you can hope for low to mid 13's if you drive good?
I wouldn't worry about what RPM to launch at so much though, just as long as you don't completely floor it before you let off the brakes. I'm not as familiar with launching auto's myself as with a manual trans. On my stang I used to launch around 1500-2000rpms on street tires. Surely someone else can chime in and give better L specific track advice.

If the tires / track will hold it try to foot brake up a little 800 - 1200 something like that.
Drop the spare for sure at the track, take off the hitch to its only like 6 bolts or something.
If its bone stock i would guess 13.8 - 14.00 98 - 100 mph
Cai / exhaust mods maybe a 13.7 - 13.8 - 99 - 102 mph
Drive AROUND the water and then back up for your burnout, keeps the water off the fronts. I don't even like to touch the water at all myself cause it sprays up in the wheel wells then drips down on the tires.
Have fun :-D

That is actually a good run considering that your truck is stock and has 3.55 gears. :thumbsup:

very nice....what track did you go to? we had some nice weather last nite.
where in IL are you?
where in IL are you?
im in collinsville, its about 10 min outside of st.louis. i go to gateway raceway. it is located right inbetween me and st.louis,m.o.
how much would it help to change to a 90mm mass air?
you would need a tune...... I would just wait untill you pully it.
I need to head up there one of these days.
yea i plan on getting a sct x2 from a buddy for 100bucks. and i need a new intercooler im waiting on a reply from a guy on here that says he knows a dude that has one. my other buddy has a ported upper and lower with a pulley that he was going to sell me so i was going to do that with a 4#lower a 90mm and tune it.

Be sure that the xcal is unlocked.
I love this thread...does anyone else see it?? I hate to tell ya gucci, but you got the disease! Let the modding begin!
yea i know its bad. i have had 4 mustang 5.0s and its just one thing after another. u just keep wanting to go fast. i was planing on just putting some exhaust on it and leaving it alone but i cant. especially since my friend got his vet back he has been talkn all sorts of junk. he runs 11.60 with a 408 stroker, and another friend just put a 388 in a 2001 s10. i think i can get them by next season.
