Went to the Track

[f8lmach]

Well guys I made it back home this weekend so I could redeem myself for my last time out at the strip. Last time I ran a 13.7 @ 104 with a misfire in cylinder 2. Got that fixed and didn't really know what to expect to run. Got out there and ran a 13.07 @ 107 with a 1.9 60'..

Nice runs, exhaust sounds good too. Now get that beast tuned and put er' in the 12's. 1.9 @ 60' is very impressive on stock rim street tires also.:thumbsup:

I feel ya on having money. How hard was it to install those MAC LT's?

Nice run and a nice trap too.

Are you breaking loose on your 1-2 and 2-3 shifts?

I had a Viper GTS, it ran [email protected] on a 1.8 60' time on stock Michelins.

I put Kumho R compounds on and even on soft launches (also 1.8s 60') just being able to shift 1-2 and 2-3 without getting squirrelly my times dropped to [email protected]

When I cut a 1.68 60' my time dropped to [email protected].

Sticky rubber helps alot more than just on launches.

I now have a Automatic 2003 Mach 1 with cai, catted-x, catback, 4.10s, and SCT tune...

I am sure without sticky tires at the track the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts would cost me greatly due to spinning and having to lift.

I say sticky rubber and you will see solid 12.8-12.9s:burnout:

it wasn't too bad. Used a lift and worked about two hours a day over 3 days. Hardest part for us was getting those damn header bolts back in.

yeah the 1-2 shifts were bad all day. 2-3 would kick loose too but not nearly as much.
12s would be really nice lol

With drag radials and cool weather, you will be well in the 12's with a good 60'.

hopefully I can get some by next season.... I just hope I don't have any issues with my stock rearend

 

[clc44]

That is the reason I worry about going. I should be OK with my street tires. I am going to go sometime this year. I want to get some stock base run!! May want to piece together a built rear. 03/04 cobra diff w/ carbon clutches, 31 spline moser axles, moser girdle, 4.10/4.30's FRPP w/ FRPP install kit. Then from the UCA and LCA's will help you hook more as well.

Nice runs man! Your MACH looks good and pulls nicely. With a good custom tune and some sticky BFG Drag Radials, you will shed about 2 or 3 tenths. If you get a set of drag radials and a custom SCT tune, ask you tuner to set up a 2-Step. I have a 2-step setup for 3700 rpms. Dropping the air pressure to 15 psi and leaving at 3700 to 4000 rpms will net you a good ET! However, you might consider some 31 Spline axels before trying this though..:burnout:

lol at the moment I think that's my dilemma, whether to get the tune first or build the rear a little. maybe at the same time lol

 

[clc44]

Get the tune first, then work on the rear.
