Default (438 RWHP)Going to track for the 1st time!

Anyone care to guess what my car is capable of w/ a decent driver. Kinda curious what u think it will run. We will see if I can match some of the times given. Any tips would be great!

6 speed car w/ Ram Power Grip HD clutch

Full interior car (Not sure on Actual weight)

-Motor-
Most mods in sig. Put down 433 RWHP and 389 RWTQ on a Mustang Dyno

-Suspension-
removed front sway bar
aftermarket lower control arms w/ relocation brackets
panhard bar
BMR adj. Torque Arm at -2 degrees
Stock shocks w/ Eibach Sportline springs
315 Nitto drags on 17x11 ZR1's

-Axle-
Stock 10 bolt w/ 3.42 gears



As soon as I can, I'm doing a 9in. w/ 4.10 gears (know anybody who is selling one!!??) and I already have a QA1 front drag suspension set up w/ stock rear springs and matching adjustable QA1 shocks just waiting to be installed. Also planning a 100 wet shot or whatever it takes to break 10.99.

i can't get over all the mods and no 12 bolt or 9in? you should of got one along time ago,the car will never hit it's best time with out a rear and slicks. i'm sure you already knew that.

mike C. : I realize i'm leaving alot on the table w/ out a 12 bolt or 9in. I have like 500 or miles or so on the 10 bolt w/ the H/C and only a few street races. No track time so I hope it holds for 2 or 3 trips down the strip. Like I posted, I'm looking for a 9in. but can't see spending close to 3 grand on one. Also, If I can't hook this weekend and the 10 bolt pulls through I may buy some MT Drag radials on 15x10's or use a buddies 16" M.T. ET Streets on stock Z28 wheels.

What are u guys running for air pressure in ur nittos. I did some looking and I think for what i'm running, I believe the best would be 14 psi to 16psi.

Dont mean to jinx ya, but if you dont break your rear, you should see 120+ trap speed. As for ET thats all in the driver.

I like 19psi in the 315x35x17's. I have been able to pull 1.64 1 time and many many 1.68 to 1.72 60 ft times
