With some tires Steve can tune you up some and you should hit low 14's with no problem, if not a high 13. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver MCA member# 53321 NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00,'01,'02,&'03 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."

I'm working on getting some sticky tire by spring time. I was hoping for low to mid 14's at Fallon this spring. I can only stall the car up to about 2400-2700rpm. If I could leave at peak stall with traction.At Fallon do you think I could see 14.5 or faster? How about 100mph could I hit that too? ------------------ SCOOP oddly obsessed with big scoops on little Mustangs 2.26 60'S 14.9 @ 90.86MPH 65 coupe,351w,C4,Big Boss 429 hood scoop,8"3.40 TracLoc,Cragar SS,Black Suede. https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Fastymz.html IP: Logged

Ron, MPH takes horsepower, so we can't help that with traction. Et can be lowered with traction, but not MPH. As far as the spring meeting, sure just let me know when. Your curent converter is fine for your low rpm engine now, but if you bump up the power and as a result move your torque curve up too it may be too low. SteveW IP: Logged

I'll let you know about meeting this spring.I have to get some more things done to the 1st before I drive that far. Now if your going to be in Fallon again let me know. ------------------ SCOOP oddly obsessed with big scoops on little Mustangs 2.26 60'S 14.9 @ 90.86MPH 65 coupe,351w,C4,Big Boss 429 hood scoop,8"3.40 TracLoc,Cragar SS,Black Suede. https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Fastymz.html IP: Logged

You realize that a 30-40 h.p shot of N2O will make up for the elevation. Since you aren't into competitive bracket racing why not just bolt a 75 h.p. plate under that holley? I've got extra bottles if you want to try it. SteveW IP: Logged

stang106 Gearhead Posts: 707 From: God's Country!... Port Alberni B.C. Canada Registered: Jul 2001	posted 01-03-2003 12:10 PM Ron, I don't see why you couldn't run low 14's. We have similar setups but I have a heavier car, cast iron intake and exaust, 3:23 gears, and managed a 13.7 at 104 mph in the 1/4 mile. do you still have an open diff? what kind of gears? I'm building a strip set of 4:11 gears with a spool for track only; consider it. I would think you have enough horsepower now. I'll be waiting for your results. Dave IP: Logged

steve'66 Gearhead Posts: 5659 From: Sonoma,CA,USA Registered: Mar 2000	posted 01-03-2003 01:39 PM Ron, Do you have an electric fuel pump yet? You don't need much to run a 75 shot. You'll need to do a little wiring and add an arming toggle switch and throttle switch (I have one) that'll energize it at w.o.t. SteveW IP: Logged

The wiring I can handle,but can the motor handle the extra power? You won't get a 75 h.p. increase probably less than 50. The extra power is nothing to worry about, but the possibility of going lean is something to worry about. That's why we need an elec pump. SteveW IP: Logged
68F100 Gearhead Posts: 1970 From: Fort Madison, Iowa USA - United We Stand Registered: Oct 99	posted 01-03-2003 10:19 PM SCOOP. I have faith in ya. I say you'll run a 13.98 this summer, at your home track. My prediction for the year I used to live in Snowflake,AZ altitude ~7000 ft. When I lived in Tucson, not sure what altitude, but it's tons lower. My truck didn't run worth a damn up north, but was pretty healthy where the air was. You might be surprised and happy just to try your car out in a lower altitude track. IP: Logged

I'd be happy with low 14's now 13.9 I'd be talking your guys ears off, wait I already do that. ------------------ SCOOP oddly obsessed with big scoops on little Mustangs 2.26 60'S 14.9 @ 90.86MPH 65 coupe,351w,C4,Big Boss 429 hood scoop,8"3.40 TracLoc,Cragar SS,Black Suede. https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Fastymz.html [This message has been edited by Fastymz (edited 01-04-2003).] IP: Logged
