LS1 Mustang Results
Finally took the mustang to the track.
The car sat on some 245 nitto 555r street tires on both days. Car has a stone stock ls1/t-56 from a 99 camaro. Only thing done is a full exhaust. Car has a 3.27 gear.
Day one. I got about 15 runs in so ill only post a couple.
First run off of the highway.
60 2.191
1/8 8.543
mph 88.66
1/4 12.985
mph 109.05
Third run
60 1.979
1/8 8.312
mph 87.39
1.4 12.924
mph 97.86
The stock shifter is really sloppy. I went from 3rd to second and bounced the rev limiter right before the finish line.
Best run
60 2.048
1/8 8.380
mph 87.36
1/4 12.876
mph 108.66
At this point the stock clutch was starting to slip because i was hot lapping it and never gave it time to cool down.
Day 2.
I pulled the thermostat and wired the electric fan to run continously on high. This made the car sit at around 150-160 whereas before i was running the car at 210-220. The air filter is in the engine bay so I though this would help out and it did. I also hooked up the map sensor and the cam sensor at the back of the motor. For some reason I didn't hook them up when doing the swap.
Run one straight off the highway
60 2.072
1/8 8.221
mph 89.53
1.4 12.596
mph 114.64
The next two runs were the same mph 1/8 and 1/4. 60's were the same. Except one run was a low 12.6.
Overall im happy with such a stock motor putting out good times. Next time I go to the track Ill have a cam, 3.73, slick. Hopefully those will be enough to get me into the 11's Im hoping to go 10 like that before I spray it.

now that is the way it should look!i did a few back in the TPI days all i can say is Ford Tuff w/Chevy Stuff.
excellent times some 3.73s and minor bolt ons you will have an easy 11 sec ride.it also helps when you start the project with a clean chassis.

I have mentioned this before in your other threads. I love this idea. I would not bother with power steering or anything. I would make it a race car. Thanks for sharing your data. Looks like a great street bruiser.
