With slicks and a little looser converter your car should run high 7's in the 1/8 and low 12's in the 1/4. What is in your friends mustang engine wise
awsome which kind of slicks should i get?? ive seen some that are street legal which id like to get too, and i think he has a 5.0 with 351-w heads that are ported and polished,and e303 cam im not sure what else beside the t-5 and some really good nitto tires now
you should have more power than him. defintly need a looser converter. probly between a 3000-3500 rpm. gota be able to stick that power to the ground. some drag radials would work really well if you playing on the street (very unsafe but most of us are guilty of being unsafe). if your only racing on the track then get a set of slicks on there own wheels to put on at the track.
he ment posi/locker/spool,something so you dont have the 1 tire fryer.Everyone around here runs M/T Radials mostly 275-60-15's
Yes, M/T ET Street Radials 275 60R15. Awesome tire and do well on the street too. Mine hook good enough to break my rear end twice at the track.
i broke 3 8'' before i got the 9'' 275 50 17's nitto's don't grip for S#!^ with my 1 wheel peel t5 trans 12 pound flywheel and 3.25-1 ratio 9'' rear // stock 72 mav motor stock ported heads 289 performer intake and 600 cfm edelbrock headers power fire distributor
Remember, weight is a factor too. Aluminum radiator, rear seat delete, etc. Also moving weight around like the battery to the trunk. Rule of thumb is every 100 pounds is a .10 second in the 1/4 mile.
My set up is not a lot different and I am in the high 11's. I agree, a looser converter and traction and you are in the 12's.
ok you guys mentioned spool, my question is on the mini spools, I was told they are unsafe on the street because they force the car to go straight. Is this what you found? How do they really work?
the lock the two axle shafts togther. this prevents the rear tires from turing different speeds wich is nessary for smooth cornering. the tires will squeal and chirp when you turn. it adds extra fatigue to the axles and can cause them to brake after awhile. if your front tires are small or are in a low traction situation the car wont turn. it will just push streight ahead.
Do you have a break down of your time slip? Been to the dyno lately to double check tune? Really you should be faster I would think, even with a peg leg. Probably all in your 60ft with the converter/tires/peg leg/ suspension where your loosing him. You should be realing him in on the big end though.
