[Leedom]

Love the car. That thing is going to be a beast.

[nordy racer]

Great choice, hope you're not looking for 10's with your warranty intact though.

hahahaha..my warranty will be out the window before i make my first car payment lol..

thanks everyone.. i will try to make next months meet. i'm working in a new cepartment at work which makes me work weekends..

[1BadWS6]

Nice choice. We should line them up I will be at Irwindale tomorrow running also. The weather is expected to be low 70's which is perfect. I say you run 8.3-8.5 thats what I have seen from the stock 5.0 crowd out at irwindale.

[nordy racer]

come track me down..

[Shaolin Crane]

I hope he runs faster then that. I ran an 8.7 in my bone stock 5.0 fox with a 1.99x 60'

Slip the shit out of the clutch and i see you kissing 7's

[silverscmustang]

oh and with the Vortech I get about 23 mpg highway.

[Shaolin Crane]

Not with your foot in it lol

You ran 8.7 in a bone stock fox at irwindale? :huh:

[silverscmustang]

Not with your foot in it lol

ya lol that number drops quick if I get on it a lot. Mostly it is the boost a pump. I was getting 16 hwy mpg max at first but Vortech altered the tune and put on the boost a pump and its much better on gas now.

[Shaolin Crane]

Yup, even my girlfriends stock 07 auto ran 8.4x's with bolt ons

[nordy racer]

took the car to the track tonight, to get some base runs before some parts get here next week. right off the street without a cool down she went 8.42 at 85mph with 2.0 60ft.. over 5 runs tonight that was the slowest and the quickest was the last 8.37 at 86mph with a 1.98 60ft.. not bad base times, now let the mods start..

[Shaolin Crane]

Did you air down the tires?

[nordy racer]

Yeah, the pressure on the street tires were 35psi.. I turned them down to 26psi..

[Vettezuki]

. . the quickest was the last 8.37 at 86mph with a 1.98 60ft.. not bad base times, now let the mods start..


Not at all. In my manual H&C 82 Vette, my best was 8.312@90.890 with a 2.096 60'. (http://motorgen.com/garage/timeslip.php?SlipID=76)

[nordy racer]

[nordy racer]

[Vettezuki]

. . .going to order some lowering springs and a rear wing shortly. also a set of slicks for the track :)

What's the wing for if you're just dragging? Or is it just a small cosmetic wing?

[nordy racer]

Its the Roush wing.. The car is also going to be entered into car shows also over the summer, so she has to look good :)

[silverscmustang]

was that at irwindale?

offroad H huh? :) got mine recently too, just need to get the rear O2s turned off before I install it. Cant stand the check engine light being on all the time.

What are you doing with the stock mufflers?

[nordy racer]

What are you doing with the stock mufflers?

gave them to the guy that installed the H pipe for me.. even trade lol.

[nordy racer]

yes that was at Irwindale.. best 60ft on street tires was a 1.93, but the second gear shift killed me on that run.

yes i wanted until i had a SCT programmer before i put the H on.

[nordy racer]

got her some new shoes...

[nordy racer]

They look like race stars on my phone, close enough. Racestars are junk.. thats like saying a Buick Grand National is a Monte SS lol.

[nordy racer]

took the car to Greg at R.E.T to make some passes on the dyno.. First pull with a BAMA race tune. temp at pulls was about 75*

car has C&L cold air intake, Letal H pipe, GT500 muffs, 373 gears in a automatic.

halfway between pulls and tuning and you can see the increase on the bottom end on the graph.
