High 12 second NA Mustang 1/4 mile run in car video shifting

[lcarrasco212]

Say player, how much faster in the quarter mile power shifting vs granny shifting? I only granny shift, dont want to hurt my tranny.

[lilbeastpowell]

Does ur car have a shiffing kit in it?

[98GtConvt]

@lilbeastpowell The transmission has upgraded shift pads made of bronze, I smashed the plastic ones that came with the TKO-600. I also have s short throw shifter Pro 5.0.

[XSoulscarz53X]

anyone know if power shifting hurts the transmission?

[02mustang38v6]

@XSoulscarz53X yes it does.

[fidstang]

@XSoulscarz53X No one can answer this unless we know what transmission you have.

[Fastangboi]

Good feathering out of the hole.

[boosted92civic]

Have you ever had the car on a dyno? Also what are you averaging for 60ft.

[98GtConvt]

@boosted92civic Mustang Dyno 311rwhp 332 rwtq, Dyno Jet 316rwhp 328rwtq. Average 60ft is about 1.64-1.69 @ 6500rpms. In this video I am sure its about 2.0

[boosted92civic]

What was your trap speed on that run? Car sounds great btw.

[98GtConvt]

the trap speed on that run would have been about 108mph. My highest trap speed today is 112.07 mph with an ET of 12.510seconds.

[superbad1982]

this mug is standing on the damn accelerator lol. Actually standing on it. His leg was off the seat by an inch lol. i am amused. (i normally take my shoe off to feel all the pedal)

[Xellos357]

@superbad1982 LMAO!! so true!!!

[likess]

dam the mustang sounds tight yo

[nascrchi]

most def! a sts lol nice

[FoxBody77]

my cars got a throttle body,mass air and exhaust and i run a high 13 with shit tires..

[roflgay]

i love the honda comment... im pretty sure this is a mustang, get the fuck over it

[FORDboy357]

That mod motor sounds fantastic.

[cooleb]

mods?

[matthewchan]

i dont think your fore-arms are big enough,

you gotta beat the car to make it go faster!

[98GtConvt]

I agree, That was only a practice run the 1st of the night. When I am trying to run my best I launch at 6500 rpms and hang on for life

[ghostcivic99]

@98GtConvt lol hope you dont snap a u-joint! lol

[H0M3RC1D4L]

@AMRennsports...

YES! Run the RPMs up while changing the gears since you will likely be shifting hard and fast and they probably won't hit your rev limiter before you engage the next gear...just don't miss any gear changes ;)

[AMRennsports]

BTW to the driver on the vid, you're doing pretty good. To get quicker you have to practice keeping your heel on the floor and working the clutch with only your foot not just the whole leg. Also, it sounds like your letting off the gas a bit... don't.

[SIRHC45]

4:10 gears?

[98GtConvt]

4:30

[IAmTheRealAsif]

Ohh alright thanks guys, I am acutally a honda guy, who was just wondering...A kid around my way got a 5.0 with said mods, hes a horrible driver and he has a bad tranny and bald street tires...he was claiming low 13's lol.

[68965]

if some who can drive a 5.0 good can get 13's or lower! honda's suck ass. P.O.S. 4 bangers with front wheel drives! fuck ricers!

[cadeMFjohnson]

i got 4500 into mine including price and i run high 12's and beat my brothers ws6 trans am just yesterday as well... why do honda's suck? just because a lot of idiots get ahold of them and give them a bad name?

[superbad1982]

@cadeMFjohnson for speed they are cost inefficent. But i have a 93 Acura integra GSR and it is all JDM i love that car. but my racecar is a 93 Coupe stang.

[cadeMFjohnson]

nevermind im not gonna argue, i just read your comment below this one. your an ignorant little kid probably who is just obsessing over his mustang

[BigRiggerJ]

@68965 Depends, completely stock 5.0's produced from 87-92 have 225HP stock but the 93's have 205HP, and the 87-92's can only get 14's stock, i've seen it with professional drivers. BUT, a not so much costly upgrade... the GT40 headers kit ($500) will drop 1 second - 2 seconds off your 1/4 mile time.

[pschar31]

what the hell is a gt40 headers kit? Do you mean gt40 heads. Those will not drop your et that much anyways. GT40s with work in them and other mods you can get into the 12s

[BigRiggerJ]

Nah just intake, exhaust and gt40 heads will let you run high 12's, And I said headers because I was looking for headers for mine so my frontal lobe screwed up my words. That's all my cousins had when we started building his and he ran a 12.96 on drag radials

[408Mustangs]

Stock 92 Notch w/ a little wider tire will do high 13's..

[nascrchi]

wow, umm you are totally wrong man!!!! You just told us how gear-illeterate you are. lol

[03800rev]

i run 12.8 with a 93 coupe gears cam headers and et street tires

[papaown]

@BigRiggerJ

You're an idiot lmfao

[BigRiggerJ]

@papaown Haha you wish you were smart.

[papaown]

@BigRiggerJ

Lol coming from a guy who thinks hes in the 12's with just intake, exhaust, and mild heads.

[IAmTheRealAsif]

Maybe a few of you mustang guys can help me?

What would an 88 5.0 with a cold air intake, shorty headers, and slightly bigger exhaust run in 1/4 mile...aprrox. ofcourse

[AMRennsports]

It depends on the driver and the options on the car. I had a no-option 87 LX 5-speed Coupe that ran 13.7@98 dead stock and ran 13.1@103 with just an (H-pipe/Flowmasters/pulleys/K&­N/14 degrees of timing/3.73s/and slicks).

I also had a full option 88 GT convertible that ran 14.0s@99 dead stock (Except Removed silencer and 14 degrees), but I never modded it.

My current car, a 93 Reef Blue LX Coupe ran 15.1@94 stock and it took a full exhaust, CAI, pulleys, and 3.55s to get it to run 14.0@98.

[IAmTheRealAsif]

Oh wow, thats pretty interesting....13.7 bone stock is pretty damn good

[68965]

dude you need to put cam shaft in your cars to help with power and gt 40 heads and intake manifold and switch to carburator's

[dbtrackz33]

Not bad overall, but your 2-3 is slacking...

[Pendragon1989]

Wow, man, nice car, sounds real mean, I have a 98, but it's not a Gt. Just a 3.8, v6.

[98GtConvt]

My top speed in 4th is about 115mph on 26 inch tires. Looks like we have about the same rwhp. What are you doing to get 330+?

[Das3030]

cool! i hoping to make the extra 20ish hp with the edelbrock victor jr. intake manifold, jlt ram air intake, 90mm lighting MAF, port my c&l plenium, degree the cams, and retune.

right now im just running a stock pi intake, and a small cheap cia form ebay, and my car is an idle nightmare, so i think the cams need degreeing, so i might be loosing a few hp there too..

[Das3030]

whats your top speed in 4th gear? im looking to got to 430's but im should be trapping at about 108-110, and i want to make sure i wont run out of gear, what size tire yuou runnng? btw i rev to about 6300, and make 310/310 for now lookng go get to 330+rwhp

[98GtConvt]

With 26inch tall tires i am near 115mph @ 6500 rpms

[ugslamma]

My 91 5.0 has twin washington super chargers along with 1:81 gears, I top out at 251 at the flats one time I passed up a low flying airplane taking pictures

[silverluke08]

damn...

[BeboAltizer]

what all have you done to that car?

[98GtConvt]

All NA mods, DSS stroker block to 302ci, Patriot heads and cams 99pi intake, TKO-600 tranny, BBK long tube headers, Magnaflow exhaust, Dual Friction Clutch, light weight flywheel, aluminum drive shaft, Moser axles, 4:30 gears, cold air intake,

[BeboAltizer]

cool thanks!!!

[pkidro]

what's power shifting?

[98GtConvt]

Hold the gas down and never lift during the your shifts.

[pkidro]

oh ok sweet, i tried to do that on some of the wholesale cars at the dealer i work with, and i could'nt get it right, i need some practice, i dont wanna fuck up my mustang :D. I know it saves time so you're getting more outta the car

[BeboAltizer]

yeah, just floor it, and push the clutch and shift almost at the same time. if you do it right you should bark the tires.

[sdc2008]

Sweet Vid man, gotta love the 98's lol

[KawaFord27]

Cool video man... sounds great!

[c30650]

HA Can you put your foot down any harder! LOL It looked like you put a dent in the floor board. Nice run buddy.

[98GtConvt]

Ran 12.689 @ 109mph look at my Video response!

[SinisterC6]

you should go try to get some then, it will help with those anger management issues, word of advice tho when your trying to get a girl make sure to be polite, the reason your prolly not getting any in the first place is because of your temper tsk tsk

[SinisterC6]

1) dude grow up this isnt myspace what are you doing putting your desperate ass mug as a profile pic, do you think some girl will be impressed and fall in love with you, trying to hook up with 14 years olds on YT is pathetic.

2) if you were intelligent you would know what the word reaffirms means and why your reply reduces the credibility of your own intelligence.

i took offense because ppl like you make all the comments on how to drive but have no videos themselves, if your so good prove it

[SinisterC6]

is that for me? your just re affirmining my belief that you're a dumbshit as i am a guy with a girlfriend and no husband

[xxftwismymottoxx]

shift faster. looks like you're just cruising

[98GtConvt]

I am bracket racing for consistancy. Check my other video shifting faster. My Transmission will not let me shift much faster with out grinding into 3rd. Going to drop it out this winter and get work done to it.

[nick6204]

you ever looked at a short throw shifter or do you have one it looked like your didnt

[98GtConvt]

I loved my B&M Pro ripper :) with my stock Transmission.

But now I have a TKO-600 with a Pro 5.0. shifter.

[nick6204]

there ya go good upgrade

[oiler31]

hey man ...awesome vid ! just lookin for an opinion ...my bro has a 98 gt stang 4.6 ...he used to run low 14's in the 1/4 mile with just pulleys,cold air intake with t body and aftermarket exhaust ..he recently swapped gears for 3:55s from 3:27's and added an sct programmer and aluminum drive shaft and the car in slower!! ? do u think the car don like the 3:55's or whats your thoughts?

[98GtConvt]

How many passes proved he was slower? Track conditions and temperature make a big difference as well. When I when to 4:30's my car was slower because I lost my great traction untill I got better tires now 4:30's are faster

[oiler31]

he made about 5 passes and he can only run low 15's opposed to low 14's before ...but he cant launch hard cause he cant get traction ...i think u might be right about the tire thing ..he needs some good meet to hook up

[chddb]

I agree has to be the tires. Is he making passes on DR's or ET's or just street tires?

[santiagomel00]

3.55? should of went 3.73, but slower? get better tires, he should of gottten atleast 1/2 sec faster and should of picked up atleast 1-2mph. compare his mph then and now at the traps. also compare 60ft times find out why?

[SinisterC6]

xxftwismymottoxx your a dumb shit he is obviously not cruising

98gtconvt - sweet vid nice shifting

[Guitardudemire87]

ahhhhhhh......nothing like hearing those sweat ass 5.0's.

[98GtConvt]

This is a 98GT with a 4.6 that has been stroked to 5.0. It's not the 5.0's of yesteryear.

[louizpimp7]

hahahaha 5.0 you gotta be kidding. Ok You should take some Mustang Advising.

Let me help you, 94 to 95 got 5.0L engine, 96 to 98 (as Mr. 98GtConvt said) got the updated 4.6L engine running the same 215HP for the 96-97, and the 98 got 225HP ;)

[98GtConvt]

My 98 is running 316rwhp, 332rwtq on a Dyno Jet. Using a DSS racing 4.6 strocked to 302ci short block.

[mullikin]

you should be making more power... what type of heads do you have???? 2 or 4 vaulve??? If you have a DSS block it's should be much more capable than 316rwh. Nice run though man. Any street car that runs 12's deserves respect. but I think I'll stick with push-rod power (5.0)personally.

[bman20000]

if he is acctually pushing that to the ground which i believe is what he said, that is not a bad N/A number, its acctually a very good number without going balls out race motor, bet that runs just as good or better than the original. I got a 2000gt, and i only put 225 rwhp and 275 rwtq, of course it was a mustang dyno not a dyno jet but still, he has way more power

[iceguy2003]

Naturally aspirated, the 4.6 was never that impressive. Sure, in DOHC form, it was a good running engine, but I'll take my old school 5.0 for NA power. Even turbocharged.

[steeda049]

i could watch this all day haha

[IndyRamMan]

15s much?

[Xarmy187]

love the sound of your car!

[98GtConvt]

Thanks, I love 2 hear it 2.

[98GtConvt]

me 2

[GETRDUN]

SWEET!

[RaceMeMZ3]

What constitutes "power shifting"? It'd be handy to know next time I hit the quarter...

[mynameismike65]

Its when you dont take your foot off the gas while shifting. If your not good at it or have never done it you can easily over rev your car which is never good.

[zapatadiana13]

mmm so, in order to dont get over rev the car, do i have to shift earlier? or faster? whats the idea

[Xarmy187]

you basically keep your foot in the gas, stab the clutch in, and out, as fast as possible, and while this is happening, SLAM the car into the next gear.

btw, its very bad on your tranny, but will take good time off your 1/4

[Joelzinho]

i want powershift! lol niec shifting dude

[fivepointohpwr]

Aren't you supposed to stay in third?

[98GtConvt]

If I tried to run the 1/4 mile with out shifting out of 3rd gear at 110 mph the my RPM's would be almost 8,000rpms. My rear axle gear ratio=4.30:1, My 3rd Gear=1.28:1, Tire diameter=26 inch, Engine Redline set at 6,500.

[fivepointohpwr]

Damn, sorry about that. With my 97 GT with 3:73's you can stay in third gear, but thats with a different ratio and a lot lower trap speed.

[sirdohcvtec]

your shifting is slow

[Mesarina]

it's not, a videocamera makes it look slow..

[sirdohcvtec]

but the SOUND is the same .... slow shift

[ac1520]

what year is it

[98GtConvt]

98 with lots of mods

[rocky440]

True, but not over two sec. if you're a good drag racer.

[chevypower421]

haha u dont stop right at the end of a 1/4 mile drag race you make sure you pass the beams otherwise a mistake of letting off to early wil in some cases cause a loss.. dont hate

[DominiRican012]

Looks pretty good except the 2-3 was kinda lackluster. What kind of shifter is that? The 1-2 looked a lot shorter than my Tri-Ax.

[98GtConvt]

I had a problem with my 3rd gear synchronizer. It would not go into gear at high rpms so I have to lift, short shift and shift slowly. :( I am using a Pro 5.0 shifter with a TKO-600.

[videoman191]

couldve shifted a little later in 3rd nice run though i got a 12 second nova

[NYpDASAS]

HEY IF YOU DONT THINK THIS IS IN THE 12's WELL COUNT TO 12 YES ITS HIGH 12's.

[crmac56]

Very cool. Thank you for not smothering it with music.

[Sk8gangsta1]

NO FUCKING WAY THAT IS 12SECS!

[Pelnied]

This was a 13 second flat run. It was not all out. Note this title says HIGH 12 second Mustang. The car runs high 12's when ran hard.

[WindsorFox]

...says the 12yo skateborder, wannabe gang member that types in all caps.

[silversol]

Very nice! Stang sounds good!

[jlmorris]

Hey I put tires on your car! Haha. I'm the guy from Discount Tire with the red LX 5.0

[MustangAficionado]

PI swap? what did you run and what are your mods? Thanks

[98GtConvt]

This run was low 13's,bog and no power shift.

Mods, HEADS,CAMS,INTAKE,HEADERS,X-

PIPE,EXAUST,TUNE,INJECTORS,MAF­,SHIFTER,CLUTCH,FLYWHEEL,DRIVE SHAFT,FUEL PUMP,TRANSMISSION,BELLHOUSING,­SHIFTER,RING & PINION,AXLES,DIFFERENTAL,UNDER­DRIVE PULLIES ect..

[MustangAficionado]

ported heads? PI cams or what stage? LT header? very nice times man

[XWabbit]

When U say Heads,CAMS and Intake. Do you mean the PI conversion, everything stock? or did you go with ported PI heads and bigger cams? I have a 98 as well and I'm going with PI conversion and more on January.

[98GtConvt]

Heads are Patriot Performance Stage III Cams with PI Intake. BBK Headers, DSS Racing Stroker 5.0 Block(4.6 stroked to 302ci). TKO-600,

[99GTvert]

Sweet.

[reelfangz]

Too bad your right arm all but blocks out what would be the most interesting part of this vid--the gas pedal action [or lack thereof].

[98GtConvt]

Thats what you get with stock axles and a 2hr drive home. With Moser Axles you get some more foot feed Search for 'Can your car Wheelie on the street' You can see me pull the drivers tire off the ground!

[MustangAficionado]

Very nice! What mods are you using?

[68ChargerMdM]

how do you power shift?
