Whipple Track Results - Little Let Down

Get that 60foot in the 1.5 range

Assume auto and some sort of octane booster? That's some good times bud.

Ms109, stick car. When I ran the 3.75 pulley, mine wouldnt break the 130's until I put octane booster or better gas. It was a night and day difference.

LOL wish it was that easy. But that is the plan. Need tires and suspension upgrades to get there.

Thanks, agree, I already own the entire kit, just didn't get the time to install it all, I only installed the braces.

I could tell I need an alignment BADLY, over an 1" of the outside tread never touched the track, even at 20psi or so in the tires, way to much camber.

Sounds like you're about to have a good time then!

2nd gear burnout will likely remove that wheelhop during the burnout. Have you had it on the dyno? Seems a little low on power because shifting seems ok.

I wanted badly to do a proper 2nd gear burnout, but with under 100 miles on the new clutch I was really concerned I would glaze it.

No dyno time yet, just been working with the logs to verify everything working as expected. But I am due for one to verify power is where it should be.

A better 60 ft time will not increase MPH, that is a direct result of hp I bet that car will dyno at 660 - 680 rwhp. You need higher octane and more boost.

I am surprised a little but agree with you on that power estimate. With a 3.625" pulley, catless headers, and a clean log showing max timing being added that I would still be under 700whp.

Nah he had a stick car.was definitely running good!!!

Im not entirely sure I agree with the 660-680whp estimate. I had similar times and traps with a 1.95 60ft at 570whp in 22-2400 DA.

Yea that's the part that worries me. But that was with an auto? I have learned the world of difference in this platform auto vs manual. On my other non-mustang cars, the main difference was always just ET, but here it seems MPH is greatly effected, mostly from the 4-5 shift with the MT82 + 3.73 gears.

Cars running good. I wouldn't be to upset, you know what you need to do. With the limited experience you have on a prepped 1/4 mile track with that set up, a little more seat time with more suspension and changes to your set up and you'll get that down in no time!

I have similar mods to you but with cats and I haven't had the car on the dyno cause I know it's not making power, honestly it's a joke it takes forever to top out 4 th gear. My 3 valve with a Magnum XL at 4100 lbs ran 10.50 @ 137 mph and it made just over 700 rwhp on a Mustang dyno. Now if you put a 20 % OD crank with a 3.5 upper and E85 with full exhaust including long tubes your talking over 800 rwhp which should net you 140 + mph.

You think 126 mph is running good ?:headbonk:

He meant F1scamp's car, which ran 10.4@132mph with a stick.
