Default LS1 mustang times....

Thought I would give this info a thread of its own. Car and engine pics are located here https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/694983-finally-got-wheels-finished-ls1-mustang.html

Took the car to the track and ran it on a 100 shot. The engine has an MS3 cam, TH400 w/3800 stall and headers. I have a UPR pro series suspension with AJE tubular K-member and A-arms. First pass let off at 1000' getting used to it and it ran 10.60@121 on a 1.52 60' no nitrous on launch. Second and third pass both times the car wouldnt hook and went 10.8@132 on 1.9 60' nitrous launches. There are still some bugs to work out and I plan on increasing the shot and tweaking the suspension as well. As usual once the sun went down the track went away so the only really good pass was the one that wasnt complete. I am hoping to get a 10.4/10.3 with a 100 shot before I increase it to a 200 shot and shoot for 9's. the weight of the car was 2700 lbs w/o driver although I dont know the true accuracy of the scale.

Thats great considering you don't have alot of seat time with the car and the motor has a basic setup. I'm also doing an LS1 mustang but a later model, your car looks great!

Nice car - and times. 10.4's should be very attainable.

Holeshots rock. Nice color too. Very clean car..

Now it has a real heartbeat. I love your car man, color is perfect and the holeshots look awesome. Are these times with stock heads? If so that is awesome.

I love the color of the car. Are you running a stock rear gear? This gives me alot of inspiration for my project.
