Default 1/4 mile times

First time on the 1/4 with this car, ran a best of 13.4 @ 98 mph. 60ft was 1.80. The car weighes 3345 with a full tank of gas, and the temp was in the high 90s.
Mods to the car:
Pacesetter LTs, ORY with SLP shotgun resonator
Moroso cai
bbk 52mm tb
accel 26lb injectors
MadZ28 tune
3600 stall
Moser 12b with 4.10
26" MT DRs on summit star wheels, MT sportsman fronts also on summit stars
Just curious to hear what others are running with similar mods, am i close or am i way off? yes i read the sticky at the top. thanks.

not sure of the altitude. the track was silver dollar raceway in reynolds, ga. there was a stock 05+ mustang gt auto running high 14s if that helps any.

Your mph seems about 5mph low or so and your 60' foot also seems high for a 3600 stall and 4.10's. I was getting high 1.6's with a 3600, 3.73's, and a 3650 race weight but I did have a little more hp at the time but still doesn't add up. I was running 13.40's at 103.5 with just full exhaust and a cold air on the stock stall, gears, suspension and street tires so unless the elevation is real high something doesn't seem right.

That does seem slow, unless the DA was way high, something is wrong, your 60fts. aren't horrible at 1.8s, but the ET & especially the MPH is not right, are you sure you went all the way through the traps! If nothing else, start checking fuel pressure & make sure you have a fresh fuel filter.

ok thanks for the comments fellas, i thought the mph seemed a little slow comapred to what i have seen on here. I dont know what the DA was or even how to figure it out, It was hot (mid to upper 90s) and my car usually will go about 2 tenths quicker in the eighth in cooler air, but the mph doesnt pick up much. I think I need to talk to Ion about getting it retuned maybe. As far as suspension mods, everything is still stock, however i do have the front sway bar removed. According to the online HP calculators they are saying between 270-290 flywheel horsepower based on the e.t./mph which seems low given the mods. thanks again.

ok so here are the real numbers from the time slip:

R/T - .096 (pure luck)
60 ft. - 1.782
330 ft. - 5.417
1/8 - 8.513
MPH - 79.07
1/4 - 13.476
MPH - 98.90
oh yeah actual race weight was 3515 lbs. with me in it.
Does anybody know how to figure out the DA for a track? thanks again.

would not having the car tuned for the stall make much of a difference? the car shifts fine and doesnt hit the limiter between shifts.

Ion from madtuner told me this "Higher torque converters are only an issue on OBD1 cars. They do not need any special adjustments on OBD2."
your 96 and unless you coverted to obd1 then you should be fine...

not to hijack but what do you need to do if you have an obd1 car and you put in a 3600 stall?

I ran my times at same track. My car weighed 3680 with me in it. No CAI just PS longtubes with h-pipe, bullets and turn downs. 3200Vig and 3.42s. Boxed LCAs and SFCs on cut springs. Also have a Madztune. !Air and EGR. I would think you'd be a few tenths quicker with the gears, CAI, and lighter car. These times were also on Draglites 15x8 with M/T 275/50/15 for the rear and skinnies up front.
