What exactly do you have on the stang? You havent changed the gears still 327. correct me if im wrong

[ShaggyGT]

@periko333 That's correct, still have the 3.27s (I trap around 104 at the very top of 3rd gear).

[pnesmith88]

@ShaggyGT before switching to 2nd & 3rd gear did you redline or shift aroud 52-5500

[ShaggyGT]

@pnesmith88 all of my shifts are right at 6250rpm

I do the same thing with my mirror when I'm autocrossing (except up). Car sounds great!

[ShaggyGT]

@ModularCal Thanks! Yeah I flipped it up this way so the camera wasn't as blocked.

[cooleb]

with what tires u did that?

Nice time BTW

[ShaggyGT]

@cooleb Thanks. Nitto 555 drag radials.

[mrdragking13]

[ShaggyGT]

@mrdragking13 104.36 mph, and thanks

I ran that time on BBK Cold Air, 4.10 Ford Racing Gears, Steeda Pulleys and a SCT Tune Blow By Racing here in Florida. I pumped my tires upto 32 psi. My 60 ft time was a 1.78.

[greekooo3]

what was the mph? nice run man.my gt is stock and planning some bolt ons after holidays.so my question is will a cai,catback exh,throttle body,and a tuner make a diff? cause i feel my gt is slow.my v6 felt jus as fast

[A4Eaton]

@greekooo3 Obviously it will.

[rriicckk787]

is that Atco by any chance? that track looks real familiar lol

[ShaggyGT]

@rriicckk787 that it is

[selby792]

Did the DRs shave a lot of time off your 1/4? My car is running 13.7s with 2.2 60 foots. What kind of 60s were you pulling off?

[ShaggyGT]

@selby792 My 60s were right around 1.9 (1.89 was my best) because my suspension was not set up at all for dragging (steeda lowering springs and no other suspension mods). I would say that the tires saved me almost a half a second. Not sure because some of my mods were done during the switch from street tires.

[03CENTGT]

What RPM do you dump the clutch at?

[ShaggyGT]

By the sound of it I think it was about 5000-5500rpm, but if the tires were just right I could dump around 6k and hook fine. This was with Nitto DRs mind you.

[nevermissclancom]

I'm curious to see what my GT would run in the 1/4 but there are no tracks near me. Mine makes 268/310. I have ran an 8.71@80 in the 1/8 with stock gears. It looks like you are using stock gears. What all did you have at the track to run a 13.1? I can powershift as well.

Did you do some lightening? Slicks? Just curious bro.

[03CENTGT]

Damn. Is your rearend built by any chance? I tried launching at 4K on mine and bogged on M/T dragradials.Only managed an 8.40 1/8th bogging.

[ShaggyGT]

No built rear. The MTs hook a lot better than the Nittos do, so your best bet (if you don't mind taking the chance of breaking the rear/trans) is to rev it higher and dump the clutch. You've got to play around with it (it helps to go to a track rental like I did so you can get in a few dozen runs instead of just 3 or 4), launch at 4000, if you bog move up to 4500, if you bog move to 5000 and so on. A little bit of wheelspin is OK, but if you're peeling out you'll want to bring it back down a bit

[ShaggyGT]

bolt ons, stock gears, steeda shifter, nitto drag radials, no lightening (had all the seats in the car and the spare/jack still in the trunk)

[nevermissclancom]

I need me some slicks. lol

[lazarin69]

wowowo Slow reaction.......

[ShaggyGT]

I wasn't even looking at the tree, I was trying to get my RPM just right for the launch. This was a track rental so I wasn't racing anyone.
