hey guys, i'm BACK..
 
not and a Chevy or a Buick but in a 2012 Mustang GT.. picked up a auto (for drag racing) brand new, a little over a week ago. she just turned 500 miles and i'm heading to Irwindale Thursday to get some base runs.

Parts on the way are.. 373 gears, GT500 muffs, Roush Grille.
parts ABOUT to be ordered... SCT tune, full header back system, CAI and a BLOWER by spring time..

looking for mid 10's in the 1/4 and still get low 20's mpg.

in the dealership lot.


the next day 5% tint with 35% tint windshield,

Shaolin Crane 10-05-2011 12:56 AM

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

1BadWS6 10-05-2011 09:17 PM

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 10-05-2011 10:02 PM

come track me down..

Shaolin Crane 10-06-2011 08:43 AM

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 10-06-2011 09:51 AM

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

Shaolin Crane 10-06-2011 01:06 PM

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 10-06-2011 01:56 PM

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

nordy racer 10-06-2011 10:22 PM

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..

track photos..




Shaolin Crane 10-06-2011 11:17 PM

Did you air down the tires?

nordy racer 10-07-2011 06:14 AM

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

nordy racer 10-08-2011 07:40 PM

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

nordy racer 11-11-2011 06:46 AM

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 11-11-2011 08:26 AM

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.

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.
