Default My first 1/4 times...

Well it has been spoken about for awhile, I finally made it out to the track on Friday. A few of you were interested in my times, so I am posting it. It was a lot of fun, it was me, two slightly modded z28's, and a GTO. Enough about that, here is the info about my car and the times.

1999 Ford Mustang V6

Mods:
TMA Turbo kit
Upgraded fuel system
(everything else is bone stock)

My boost is set at 7.2psi, I don't have posi, my rear end sucks, I was spinning each time at the launch. I am dissapointed with the times, I should be doing much better. And the fact that it was my frist time, I was nervous as hell, messed up a few times, crappy reaction time, crappy 60'. Anyway I beat the GTO when we raced. Here are the times, in order of my runs. I am looking forward to the next time I go out, I need to first figure out how to get the power to the ground so that I can get my high 12's that I want.

I've been tempted to take my SuperStocker out just to see what it would do, but I want to go like on a Tuesday morning when nobody else is around - just me, the lights, and the timer.

I'm guessing they're not open Tuesday morning, though, so I haven't gone out.

Put a better set of rear tires on it. Those trap speeds are mid 12 worthy. Not bad for a V6!

thanks guys, yeah, even with the MT's, I was having problems with traction. It is due to my crappy rear end, that needs to be changed, so that I can actually put the power to the ground. I just posted a vid about it in the video section. (https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...32#post3888032)
