My 60' times are way off and I don't have a real idea why, but at least after 60' my ET's were right on the money. I now have homemade street slicks and so I let the air pressure out of the rears down to 26-28psi. The car hooked up like glue....no wheel spin at all which was kind of scary putting that much stress on the drivetrain without the wheels spinning at least a little bit to release some of the energy. Anyway...the car actually acted kind of funny hooking up this hard at the line and it seemed as if the engine somehow was adjusting itself due to all the resistance it was getting from the rear tires not spinning. It was like the timing or the something else in the engine was being held back after it got so much resistance. I usually have about 1 solid revolution of the rear wheels off the line, but not tonight.

While I was not happy with my ET's overall (mainly due to 60' times) I did manage to spank a 2003 Stock Mustang GT right from the line 2 times in a row (the dude was so pissed). I was so happy to line up against this guy and see what my car would do from the very start off the line against a Mustang. Our reaction times both times were within 0.05 secs of each other and I beat him by 0.4 & 0.45 secs in the 1/4. I had the guy right from the start as all my ET's were better than him including my 60' time. It was so nice to sit back and look over my shoulder at 60mph as I pulled away from this guy all the way to the finish line. My first race was against a 98 5.0 Mustang that had some damn big a$$ tires on the rear that I was hoping was more show than go....well he had about a car length on me at 60mph and then all of a sudden he just left me in the dust and pulled away from me like I was hitting my brakes.....Damn NOS as he ran ET 13.046 @ 104mph.

I am going to take the car to a mechanic to bump up the timing from 15 to 17 degrees. I had it set last year by the dealer in April at 15 degrees so it is probably a little off by now again and why not try a little more advance to see what its got under the hood.

Below are some additional 1/4 ET's just as a reference to keep things all in one easy to find place.

Wow, all 100mph traps, impressive. Do you recall if it's shifting into 3rd before you get to the traps or after? Or are you just holding it in 2nd for the end of the run?

Very impressive.

[elwesso]

Good runs Rob!!!!

[I30tMikeD]

Nice traps. Don't know much about how Q's are off the line but I would assume you could pull better 60' than that. You got a 13 sec car if you can get out of the hole better. Nice showing!

[rsiwicki]

thanks for the compliments on the runs....

I at 100mph I am just barely finished shifting from 2nd into 3rd for a very split second. If I held it out there at the 7,300rpm rev limiter I would probably do a little better but I don't like the idea of running hard for a long while at the rev limiter.

[sijoko]

Since you are just barely getting into 3rd gear at the end of the run, have you considered experimenting with taller tires in the rear?

This might keep you in 2nd gear as you go through the traps and would probably improve your times.

Even with the Level Ten trans, my 2nd to 3rd shift is lagging. So I would say that you are losing some precious tenths on that last shift at the end of the 1/4 mile.

[AZhitman]

Nice work Rob!

The Q is making some believers in S Fla!

Not bad for a 13 year old car with over 150K on the clock!

Makes me want to get the Impul headers for my wife's VH41DE to replace the stock log design headers. Wonder if they would work on LHD FY33?

Seems like the T56 matchup would take car of the initial launch quite nicely.

Nice data.

I dont think so since the passenger side will be the one thta has compensation for the steering joint....

T56 + VH45 + headers...
