So Tuesday night was the last Test n Tune at Gateway of the year, and probably for a while since it is closing due to a financial nightmare. Sean and I have been wanting to get some runs in, so we met up at the track and decided to settle it there. It was absolutely packed, probably 3x the normal turnout for TNT, so we only got 3 runs. Onto the good stuff...

MODS:
snake95: 95 Mustang Cobra, 308, AFR 165s, Trickflow stage 1 cam, ported Cobra intake, underdrive pulleys, 70mm tb, 75mm MAF, BBK longtubes, o/r X, 3.73's, tuned, through a T5.

me: longtubes, true duals, lid, ls6 intake, tuned, 3.73s and for this night only I was on drag radials.

Run #1-I fell asleep at the tree.

Run #2 was a clusterfuck for both of us. No point in posting. Actually, I redlit because I was scared of the Mustang.


Run #3

I guess its a tie, 1-1 since on #2 I redlit because I was letting the clutch out so far, but didn't take off until the green . I beat him to the finish though. I think a dig on the street would be a good way to settle this some time, roll would be pointless since I trap 7 mph more.

I have to say, leaving on DRs would take a lot more getting used to. I couldn't figure it out in just 3 passes for the life of me. Oh well, I had a blast. Snake definitely has the driver mod, he was very consistent. One more pass and he would have had his 12 second pass for sure. He was playing with shift points and what not and 1 more would have done it.

Good runs for sure. I was disappointed in my car, my cam is advanced a few degrees for more end and I think it showed, not making excuses though as I think you would have walked me on the top end regardless, I still can't figure out why my car didn't MPH worth a ****, my car just plain ran out of breath. I was experimenting with shift points, too, and on that last run it cost me my 12 slip (I think). Before people tell me to learn how to drive, I know how to drive. Oh well, it was a hell of a lot of fun! Your car definitely moves out compared to my little Rustang It was great finally meeting Sean, real stand up guy and it was fun bullshitting with him all night.

Like I said the other night, I think you could still cut a great 60' if you raised the tire pressure, which would give you that extra mph, as well as the shift points being figured out. I think 12.8x was within reason the way you were driving.

Good runs guys! Nice to see two enthusiast getting it done on the track. Wsick should be mid, low twelves with that MPH. Snake looks like the cam is holding you back. Maybe a custom grind or something a tad more radical than a TF stage 1 in the future???

snake95

I think so, too. Too bad we couldn't get more damn runs in! It was a circus. You are right, though, because my Mickey's hooked great from a 4300 dump, I think if I raised the pressure to about 22-24 and dumped at 3500-3700 that may have helped me some...and the other thing is no matter how fast someone shifts you can always improve! No excuses from my end, your car moves. Future mods for me (when funds allow) will be a different cam and intake. The torque of my car is a lot of fun on the street but if I want to beat any bolt-on LS1's, damnit I need some top end!

snake95

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. My lift now with 1.6s is .499/.510 and 221/225 duration. I have some 1.72s sitting around I may throw on once I have the money to upgrade springs (which will need to be done regardless if I get a cam in the future) and that will bring the lift to .536/.548, which I think will help my top end.

Don't remind me. Just last week I saw a guy on here post a vid with him having the same mods, but a rear you can really leave off of and he ran a 12.1@113. My personal best was last week though, 12.66@112 (as in sig). I think I could haev gotten down to a 12.4x but I needed more than 3 passes on drag radials to learn them.

Don't be a *****. Throw a big ol ****** of a bumpstick in there and have some real top end!


.....or come to the dark side

snake95

Your guess is as good as mine. The cam is advanced 3 degrees and on my dyno graph it runs out of breath at 5100...from 3800-4900 though my torque curve is flat at 327...my cam is killing me.

Stop quoting giant posts! But yeah, I only post my kills/deaths, so let's keep that out of at least 1 thread in here.

good runs guys, a lil better 60' and you would see some 12's snake.

WSsick

iTrader: (13)

While you are right, dropping the 60' would get him that 12, I don't know how much better he could launch. That last 60ft was his best ever he said, so not too much left there. I think it's in mph on the big end of the track. Snake's probably right about his cam though, that extra bit on top he's missing out on would probably get it too. He was also shifting a lot lower on that last pass, which I think screamed 12.

Lots of variables that need to be tested. It's a shame Gateway is closing and he won't be able to...


I gave it a proper send off at the end of the night though...

Also forgot to mention, a pullied GT500 made a 16 second pass (16.6 I believe). Thought all the Mustang haters would love that...

snake95

Yeah, for my 60 I could do more of a dump than the ever so slight hesitation that I do when I feel it grab, I call it a dump because most people don't know the difference. Next time I go to a track, hopefully I will get more than 3 runs, and I am going to give the launch hell.

snake95

Ha! Yeah I saw it. It went like this! LAUNCH! Where's 2nd? There it is! Where's third? There it is! Where's 4th? **** it...6th gear she goes...16.6 at like 91mph.

1slow2valve

yeah I'm positive you can improve that 60'. I am just looking at it from the utilizing what you have stand point. Obviously your car would see gains with a better cam but improving the launch is free Any plans for a power adder snake?

1slow2valve

I guess any idiot can purchase a gt500, I'm saddened to know that someone can actually be that terrible of a driver.
