can you say Q45 vs new 5.0 mustang!

[N/A Q45]

Just had one try to beat me but didn't get away. In a few minutes we're going to do it again and I'm getting my girl to take videos!
Lol I wonder if the change I just made to my intake today had something to do with it, I think so.
Those things should just kill my Q45, or that is atleast what they thought.
If we do it again and they don't pull out it should be a interesting video
I'd expect it to pull on me pretty good since they actually dyno around 390whp and weigh much less. I guess a proper line up will show.

[N/A Q45]

Well it looks like they either don't want a re-match or it will be tomorrow.



Her bf was saying that she was on it but let up in 3rd like I thought cause I went right around her after being beside her from 1st and 2nd. I guess they didn't think I could keep up ha. That was funny, glad I didn't spend 30+gs to have a 3g car stay right beside me.

Fool,be serious. that car would have left you in a different zipcode if the driver wanted to and knew how to shift a manual transmission.

Lol yeah that's what they thought at first too. It was soo close her bf thinks I might just pass her when I remove my 3"muffler.



The only fool here is you and anyone doubting it. This girl knows how to drive, she is the only one who has got a stock-ish new 5.0 into the 12s at our track.
The change I made to the intake and exhaust recently made even more top end. And I have maxed out the stock injectors with them at 78psi the richest it runs near redline is 13.2ish, thinking I'm going to need something along the lines of 550cc or 600s. I wonder just what this would have to be making to stay with the stang?

[N/A Q45]

Well. . It doesn't look like I will be getting a re-match. It went from "later" too "tomorrow" and now no response. Lol I think the Q left its mark.

i'm no mathmagician but you just said she did 12's at the track... and yet... you beat her...




lol.. i know you're pumped up about it.. but i just thought that was a funny fact.

No I didn't beat her. But from a 40 roll we were side by side- she got me on a 0-60 by about one car but once I got into the meat of power band she didn't get any farther away. She ran a 12.9 at our track once. But most are 13.3s like every other new 5.0. We just hand a 1/4mile night and I know the Q was into the 13s then but of course the tracks timing system wasn't working right so most only got there times for the 1/8. I killed some done up new speed 3 and he ran a 14.0.. but I could tell something about the intake was holding it back and now that I fixed that lol! I think they were as surprised as I was that they didn't pull at all- piss's me of that they won't line up again, but that's kind of funny I guess, + you know it was not what they thought would happen as soon as the excuses start, like them saying they "didn't have the tune on" ha!

I tried, and tried to get a re-match.

[N/A Q45]

And they have yet to comment lol. I think they know what could happen when I remove my muffler and then have full 4" I would be making even more power on top.

[N/A Q45]

Huh.. if these #s are true then I think I know why the stang couldn't pull.

I would really think the new stangs are quicker then what they tested though.

H-ll I can hit 60 in 4.8sec wtf, how are these 5.0s not faster?

[qship96]

0-60 in 4.8 seconds.....BS I bet not a single member here believes that,except you.

Well I've got the videos so you can shove your useless comments up your a-s.

I would hope by now people would believe what I say. But if not whatever, I've already proven myself more then enough so I'm not feeling like I need to anymore.
You don't like it or believe it then don't post

[N/A Q45]

But since I like to make you look bad noship96 I'll upload the video in a minute.

[N/A Q45]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp7TE-Z ... ata_player

60mph I verified on gps is in between the 90kph and 100kph marks. From the time the car moves (can't go by the tach as it's auto) to the inbetween point is 4.83sec in the second run.

There's two videos in one. This is with the 3" muffler no vve and before I fixed my intake!

Atleast it can sometimes hook on the street when it has some restrictions.

[qship96]

video proved nothing?

Lol... well then go get someone to show you how to use a stop watch properly. I can't help you there.

[SanCarlosQ45]

I dont think your going to silence the critics until you post dyno results and properly tested 0-60 times. Probably some radar/lidar tests because your running non standard tires etc. Its not that I dont trust your results, I can see its around 5 seconds, but I really wouldn't trust anything with GPS. Very inaccurate form of measurement both for both distance and speed.

The big question I have is your setup reliable enough to be driven on a proper track. Quarter mile drag racing really doesn't mean much, its what you can do on a proper track for many laps. I know you mentioned having to let it cool down a bit when you were drag racing.

Well very very many people consider a good gps to be the most accurate way to measure speed. No matter what way someone measures it there will always be someone saying that there's a better way lol. So I just take the car up to 60mph on the gps and look where the speedo is pointing, then get a good stopwatch and time it to that point. The reason the car doesn't cool down is because #1 I have a rad fan that is too small for it on it (just picked up some bigger and better ones I will be putting on after the car gets back from the damn body shop thanks to some dumb old guy), and #2 when I run down the strip there's alot of waiting to go again so there's no air flow to keep it cool. On the street and hwy it runs nice and cool, I don't have it designed for lapping but I know it wouldn't overheat as long as it's moving. It never really "over heats" just runs hotter then it should to make the most power is what I mean by it over heating.

[SanCarlosQ45]

Ok, as long as your not using it for directly timing the 0-60 you should be fine. Yes its accurate over a constant speed, but not for acceleration. It would be nice to have something that isn't base on you looking at the speedo though.

Why not keep the stock mech fan, really no power gains with electric. Run some calculations of amperage/Power to HP to see.

Like I said I use it to verify where 60mph is on the speedo and that's is it.

Does the electric fan stay on when I run down the track if the car is at a proper temperature, no. The mechanical fan does though. That thing is a pain to work around as well, my dual electric fans I'm putting in will be perfect. None of that stock junk mechanical fan to be in the way or take hp. One thing I have learned when making cars go faster is all the little things add up. The fan might be 3-5hp cost idk but if you do 5 things that are as little as a 5hp increase well you just got 25hp. I think the car's running pretty strong.

[SanCarlosQ45]

Have you thought of Poly sub-frame bushings or even SPL collars? I saw as much as 4-5mm of flex in the bushings with a floor jack when I was working on the rear suspension. Might help with better launches as there would be less slop.

you got it, I am just waiting on them as we speak, should have them all in the next week!

My rears are soo bad I can move the knuckle by had side to side lol. And the front bushings are shot too. Hoping to get the master kit in the mail this week and the rear control arm bushings next week. Should improve my 1/4 as it will have less drag and hopefully hook better.

+ it's kind of dangerous to drive that's how bad they are. Anything over 100kph and the car's all over the road.

[SanCarlosQ45]

Yea, no wonder your not able to get much traction off the line, you've got so much play and flex it the rear end. I would do your ball joints as well since your there as well, I still need to order the rear ones.

I already did one front ball joint and going to do the other one when I do the bushings, the rear ball joints seem fine for now but I'll do them when I get time.
I'm just wondering if the rear ball joints are the same as the 300zx? I haven't done any real searching about them yet.

[SanCarlosQ45]

I'm fairly certain that you use 1989 Sentra front ball joints for the rear. The 300zx guys say these work for the rear, so they should work for the Q. I plan on ordering them soon, just have to have the time to do them. Use the same 300zx front ball joint seats that you used for the front. You can look at my post.

I'll probably see how you make out with the rears before I buy them, I'm hoping I can find some way to get this thing to hook after all new bushings, if I'm not hooking now then it will be much worse when I get the headers done.
Lol but I can bet if it does hook it will go right around that 5.0 something funny about .5L less displacement and 400lbs more keeping pace already.

[N/A Q45]

This is interesting, the mustang doesn't really put down that much stock from their test.

...but if you do 5 things that are as little as a 5hp increase well you just got 25hp.

Stickers. each flaming vtec badge is 10hp to the front wheels. Proven. i see the civics doing burnouts in parking lots while blasting carnival music. i know those guys have got too much power for the track. they almost rip those fake carbon/chrome vents right off the fender!

come to durham... learn the art of sticker racing. take it back to canada, share with your people. be a God among men.


i have a whole pack i'm gonna use... but i'm waiting on my wheelie-bar install first. gotta be safe, ya know.

Lol! Well I'm afraid the sticker movement has already spread to Canada. .

They do *see* some good gains though the visual hp can't be beat!

I had some guy in a focus that he thought was a sleeper get completely destroyed by the Q, he really needed some stickers, and then the good old looser fly by where he probably went homed and told his dog he won

Another thing alot of people don't understand in real life (the land of less stickers) is that it's easier to gain hp with the more you start with. Some people put a "cold air" intake on when they are only starting with 110hp.. and they think they are going to make 10-20hp more lol but if you start with say 500hp there's a pretty good chance to make 20hp more. The guys with 110hp are lucky to see 5hp gains. Most likely 2-3hp but you can just add some stickers and there's the 20hp.

[williskemp14]

my q runs fine but is no mustang beater. 2.8 s10 runs on it like a scalded dog. til about 80mph anyways
