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

[SaleenSterlingS302]

dude your car sounds so damn good n agressive, GREAT JOB!! 

[CmMustang03]

That has a short throw lol

[pkidro]

nice, maybe just me, but could've done better shifting? you need a short throw shifter

[n16639]

how much was the line lock?

[efp1103]

slow shifting

[CoChicken1337]

First of all, what's with the camera cut at :30? Second, you spent a lot of money on it and it only runs 13's? That's sad.

[midnight347]

@CoChicken1337 first of all some peopes idea of "alot of money" could be different than others. Just a good quality full exhaust system from the headers back can cost 1000 bucks...that's a lot of money to me. not everyone is rich. not to mention in a 98 they're slow factory and lucky to run high 14s, usually 15s around here. 3rd of all elevation has a lot to do with it. a 13 flat at 106 mph is pretty good in an n/a 98 2v. he's not granny shifting he just isn't powershifting...lighten up

[midnight347]

@CoChicken1337 I'm assuming it's a GT....because a 98 cobra running those times would be bolt ons and exhaust, gears only....unless he's got 4.56 gears it's not a cobra...I had 4.10s in my 98 and it didn't tach that fast...so it's probably a GT...the reason it didn't tach fast with 4.10s is because they redline near 7k rpms factory and they love to rev to every bit of those rpms...it kills me seeing cobra vids on here and ppl shifting at 6k or so...take it to fuckin redline, the engines love it

[VRtek01GT]

@midnight347 im also assuming that since his name is "98GTconvt" its probably a 98 gt convertable. lol and the video shows a freaking gt mustang.

Very nice run dude! its a beast!

[jacobstern14048]

@CoChicken1337 well buddy speed aint cheap

[IraqiIntegra90]

@jacobstern14048 nice said man n great vid keep it up wit ur stang

[jacobstern14048]

@IraqiIntegra90 lol not my car, i was just stickin up for the guy

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

what is the switch for ???? traction control ??

[98GtConvt]

@CREAMFILLEDANISH85 Line lock

[dodge69874]

Great video bro. That's one sick sounding stang. I just got a '94 Trans Am with an LT1 and 6 spd manual and I'm still trying to get the hang of how to drive stick. Your video does a great job of showing how to launch when racing. Thanks.

[Sk8FalIen]

mods? sounds mean as hell btw

[lXlDimmuborgirlXl]

DAmmn howd you get this stang to sound so nastyy! lol

[98GtConvt]

@lXlDimmuborgirlXl I spent a lot of money!

[98GtConvt]

@lXlDimmuborgirlXl I spent a lot of money!



[robang101]

sick line lock alot of people hack that shit

[Xellos357]

damn your car sounds awesome! what year is it!?

[98GtConvt]

@Xellos357 98

[dilehrnandez]

@98GtConvt apena siba poner ke era como ese modelo (Y)

[ibanezkid07]

lol i live in muncie

[AdrenalineJunky17]

Dang, Granny shifting much?

[Blownpony01]

can you say short throw

[BLSNick]

your not using all the power out of your gears....

[stratspider230]

Sounds like hes using 4.10s at LEAST in this video. Its not like a 4 cylinder, all the power he needs for a good pull isnt at the top of the power band, its a good mix between hp and torque. Hes doin it right

[BLSNick]

this might be stupid, but whats that switch for?

[bswavely1]

@BLSNick That is his line-loc switch to lock the front brakes.

[302GTS]

That's impressive for an N/A Stang, especially considering it didn't seem like an insanely hard launch, or hard shifts! 4.6 I'm assuming, judging by the center console?

[Guitarslinger41]

13 flat on a N/A motor? thats impressive. What did you do to get it there?

[paintballer0816]

prob every thing exept a supercharger haa idk lol

[fateisajester]

well first thing you have to do is get rid of your honda. cubes=speed

[Guitarslinger41]

Actually, I drive '99 Z28 with an LS1. No Hondas in my driveway.

[Blownpony01]

line lock? haha

[2889joeracer]

whats the upgrades?

[427danderson]

what shifter is on this car?

[dieseltechy360]

How much did the line lock kit cost and is there one for a 1983 mustang gt?

[98GtConvt]

$99 HURST ROLL-CONTROL (line-Loc) Kit P/N# HUR174-5000

You can install it with adapters to fit your size break lines/connectors

[dieseltechy360]

That is sweet!! just wondering what that switch you flip in the beginning was for thanks.

[98GtConvt]

This swich is for the line lock. It keeps the front breaks from releasing. So I flip the switch then tap the breaks and the front breaks stay on and the back release. This makes it easy to heat up the tires in the burnout box.

[devin96mustang]

damn sounds pretty nice i know that sounds it deff a svt cobra eaton superchrger gave it away

[98GtConvt]

Sorry no supercharger. This car is NA! The whine you hear is gear whine.

[blown4six]

I hated how notchy my TKO-600 was.. Made shifting any faster than what your shifting pretty tough.

[98GtConvt]

You got that right!

[NightGod07]

Sweet sounding car man. Very nice.

[98GtConvt]

tnx, this cheap video camera picks it up the engine sound well along with the gear whine...

[98GtConvt]

4.30's

[Mustangmike232]

that's the good thing bout ford's small engines, they go great at green but in the long run the chevy's 6.1L always goes all out in the long run. but ford has eatons to take care of that

[CobraFrank08]

man your really short shifting it..

[98GtConvt]

Optimal shift points are

6400rpm, 1st to 2nd

6200rpm 2nd to 3rd, and

5800rpm 3rd to 4th

I am short shifing going into 3rd as my tko-600 does not like to shift above 6000 grand in 3rd

[11211220]

what is the diference with the on or off

[98GtConvt]

"Switch On" does not allow the front breaks to release, but does allow you to apply the breaks and release the rear. "Switch Off" breaks work like normal.

[11211220]

what is that swich 4 i have one in my stang wat is it

[98GtConvt]

I installed the switch. It is Not OEM. Your switch might be something else. Mine is a Hurst Roll Control Kit. Used primarily for drag racing to provide positive locking action to the front wheels of race cars, reducing the chance of ''Rolling the Lights'' and producing more effective burn outs for heating up the tires. Andi its fun 2 :)

[fwh79]

r u runnin an x-pipe?

[98GtConvt]

Yes BBK off road.

[fwh79]

sounds good... i've got a mac off road x-pipe on my 90gt

[bman20000]

i like your car, but like mine we get the cheep plastic crap around the shifter mines broken :( rattles like hell in mine to. You said you have light flywheel? what company, and what do you think about it? cuz im looking at a fidenza one, and i know it changes driving a bit, but not sure how much

[98GtConvt]

I have the Hawks Racing Billet Aluminum Flywheel. With my combo (long duration cams) it creats low torque at low rpms. The light weight flywheel makes it very easy to bog the engine when you dump the clutch althougth the 4.30:1 rear end gears helped. I would buy the light weight flywheel again.

[bman20000]

so other than having to be a little more awake, it drives pretty much the same on the street? ive heard of the bogging problem when launching, but also heard thats fixed by higher launch rpm, and a bit heavier foot just trying to figure out how annoying it is to daily life

[nevermissclancom]

Good job my friend. What is it running in the 1/8 on street tires? Check out my car if you will.

[98GtConvt]

Using ET Streets 8.1 shifting slow into 3rd. Looking for 7.99 pwr shifting.

[nevermissclancom]

8.1 eh? Mine runs 8.71 on regular tires. All i have are I/H/E. 8.1 is mighty fast. and your car sounds amazing. So you have PI swap..cams?

[98GtConvt]

Patriot 2V heads and cams. DSS stroker 4.6 block stroked to 5.0. BBK LTH. Magnaflow exahaust. SCT Dyno Custom tune. Light weight flywheel. Aluminum Drive shaft. 4.30:1 gears. and much more. But no power adder :(

[98GtConvt]

the light weight flywheel is not a big problem for daily driving. The large cam long duration is a much bigger issue for daily driving. I must stay above 1800 rpms or have surge and bucking type problems.

[fuzzybumkin]

yah you shoulndt go into 4th in a 1/4 i have a 97 gst eclipse i never leave third

[98GtConvt]

I am in 4th before the 1/8th.

[03blackstanger]

what shifter do you have

[98GtConvt]

Pro 5.0 on a TKO-600

[SeeMyhondaVTEC]

Nice man, thats how you do it. Line locks are nice.

Do you have a PI head swap?

[98GtConvt]

I have PI heads and about every NA mod you can think of other than weight reduction.

[videoman191]

very very intense haha it feels like u could go a little longer in each gear but good joib

[98GtConvt]

My calculated shift points for best ET are 1st to 2nd @ 6,400 then 2nd to 3rd @ 6,200 then into 4th @ 5,800. But my transmission TKO-600 does not like to shift at high rpms > 6000. This run was shifing very close to calculated rpms but not power shifting.
