And/Or revving a little higher to try to hit 10psi could gain a little. I think I was shifting around 6100 but the limiter is actually around 6350 or so.

Yes I think you are right. With the heavy wheels and bad DA I may have only been putting down 430whp. Hopefully with good DA and drag wheels/tires should bump me up to 470whp or so .

That's what I came to the conclusion of. And I agree more practice will help as well .

Well guys basically answered my own question by doing some more research. Turns out the DA was actually about 3000 yesterday, played around with the hp loss/mph loss from high DA and found that on the 116 trap, the corrected DA would have me at about 118 mph. This shows up in the 1/4 mile...

Hey all, So I finally went to the drag strip, just to do some baseline runs with street tires. My mods are Paxton 2200 intercooled at 9 psi tuned by Lito, offroad x pipe, 4.10 gears, and some weight reduction but still heavy 20s. Not thrilled with the results, however I'm thinking the DA had...

Hahahah in this day and age they certainly are, and even if/when it would get built for 650-700 wheel it would be considered fast for like the 2005 era lol. But I love the car inside and out, has sentimental value, etc. so I'm hanging on to it.

Sorry to hear about the loss. But it's awesome you're having fun with your replacement. I had an 01 GT before this car, which was similar to the Fox chassis, and I agree it was nowhere near as solid feeling as the S197.

Thanks, that's the goal.

Awesome, yeah it sounds like it took a ton of adjusting the car and driver to get the number you were after. My 4th revs out to about 125 mph at 6200 rpm so I wouldn't be on the limiter which is good. Compared to your fox, how do you like the boosted 3V? More fun, less fun?

Yeah I'm definitely not up to snuff on the auto stuff but it sounds pretty advantageous at the drag strip. And I agree with your assessment of how the boosted 3V feels, mine is similar. However with my 4.10s it feels like 3rd and 4th gear pull the same, 1st is useless on these all season 285s I...

Hell yeah, lots of good factory Ford engines to play with, and prices are dropping every day.

No doubt, there's tons of factors and it's easy to imagine the perfect run but it never goes exactly as planned it seems. As far as at the track I think an automatic would probably be more enjoyable as far as consistancy, but I just don't want to give up the manual for the street fun. If you...

Lol my bad! And I hear ya, I try to remain realistic about the car as well. Still undecided on what I'll do if the engine pops. A 650whp 3V with weight reduction would be pretty awesome, if I found a shop I could 100% trust. Obviously the Coyote would respond better to boost, but with how much I...

That's insane. I didn't realize a stall could multiply torque as such. Definitely explains the low ET with a stock engine. I still can't imagine how the launch manages to be so good that the trap speed ends up being that of a car with almost 100 more hp but hey if it's working for him, he...

Hey man, I clearly misunderstood your last post. Also I was on mobile so I couldn't see your signature (3V stuff), got all defensive thinking you were a 3V basher lol seems like any post I make on Facebook it's nothing but hating on anything but a coyote. Anyhow, I get your satire now!

For starters, I will apologize for my brash comments on the last response. No excuse, but I had a nasty hangover and was a bit irritable. Also, I clearly misunderstood the point you were trying to make. There's so much coyote nutswinging, and 3V bashing, that I I thought that was your point...

Btw I'm done with this thread and won't be checking back on it or replying anymore. There were a few people that gave meaningful answers, then all the smartass motherfuckers, that literally have nothing to offer, start entering the thread. Like really, if you troll forums to make,smartass...

Lol... Cause 70+k and less than 20k are clearly in the same price bracket. Crippled? There's 3Vs in the 7's, 8's, 9's, really not sure what you're trying to say there bub.

This literally has zero to do with the title of the thread... Getting out of the hole and having a decent trap are obviously 2 different things. Ive already mentioned I'm barely at the track and run my car on the highway/backroads most of the time. What makes you think I care so much about ETs...

Oh okay that makes sense my bad. Yeah I'd be happy with a 12.1 on heavy street wheels/tires.

I'd be a bit dissapointed if I didn't run at least high 11's and trap 120. 500whp Cobras trap that and better and weigh a bit more.

Hopefully in the spring. I'm not going until I get a drag wheel/tire setup. Don't plan to launch it too hard but would still hope for a 1.8 or 1.9 60 ft.

Thanks guys. Yeah the 11.9 guesstimate was on street tires. I've seen a Turbo 3V on YouTube with 20" street tires and 470whp run like 11.8 at 120. I think on drag radials and another 15whp he ran like 11.3 at 122. So thats where I was getting my estimtes from.

So I have been having a lot of fun with the ol' Stang over the past year with it being boosted. I have been curious lately as to how the car should perform in good conditions. While I do intend to go to the track eventually, I do not really plan on going to a dyno as I am extremely satisfied...

Cool, glad to hear about the Transmission!
