Whipple 18 10R80 hit 10s with street tires!!!

[Jed S.]

Hi Everyone, first post on here. I have a 2018 10R80 mustang for a little over a year now and was slowly adding more and more to it without voiding the warranty. The need for more power got to me and well about 2 months ago, I just said screw it and got a Whipple Stage 2 kit installed. Live in PA and the DA has been horrible to go down the drag strip. The strip I go to is around 1200 ft elevation and the DA has been around 3-4,000 ft. Finally on the 24th, DA was about 2100 ft when I got to run my first 10s pass (10.9919 @ 137.70 mph). I know its 10.9919, but it still counts to me, especially since I'm on just street tires (Firestone Indy Hawk 500s). Hoping to be in the low 10s in the fall when it starts to cool off and I buy some radials. What do you guys think it'll run with radials? Whats your thoughts about the build so far? Any suggestions, please let me know. I'll add some pics of the car, time slip, and vids.

Mod List:

Whipple 3.0L Gen 5 Supercharger w/ OS Heat Exchanger & Catch Can
1 7/8'' Texas Speed Catless Headers
3'' Corsa Extreme Catback

Runs on 93, with a lil Boostane for safety at the drag strip

Easy 10.5 car on drag radials all day with the DA you were in. Rule of thumb is every tenth off the 60ft is 2 tenths on the big end.

Solid run on street tires. Put some tires on and run low 10s this fall.

Yeah you need tires. Those Hawk 500's are fine for street tire but to maximize performance on the strip, get dedicated tires.

Pretty impressive. I am assuming a stick shift car so.......actually real impressive. Get that thing in some mine shaft air neg DA and a nice pair of bias ply DR's and knock that 60 down to a low 1.5x or high 1.4x and I would speculate you are flirting with 10.20's. I factor 1.5 tenths off the big end for every tenth off the 60. And another 1-2 tenths if you can find some three digit DA or better.

The first post stated it was a 10spd auto. not a stick shift.

Missed that even after reading it through twice. Guess that happens when you are actually at work between service calls.

Nice! I wonder if it would have ran better with a new set of MP4s?

 

[Anthony 05 GT]

I'm not familiar with the 10 speed autos, but that MPH should be good for high 9's....maybe it's the transmission.

 

[GreenS550]

It's your 60' and MPH is telling it all. You will definitely do low 10s. You have the horsepower, just not the tires. Maybe get in to the 9s. Since you have the axles, get really good dr's or bias ply slicks.
