Good weather and a 1.80 or better 60ft it will do 11.9's.....nice. I have been very inconsistant on my E.T.'s but hitting 116mph or 117mph every time.
Brian, get the LT's, I saw an article once that compaired almost all the LT's on a blown S197 and it looked like the MAC's gave the best gains.....DO IT!!!! You will love the sound and topend. I also have delete plates.

I'm really amazed how well our cars perform with the non-cooled Vortech V2/V3 blowers. Everyone under the sun seems to rave about all the twin screw blowers out there, but we're getting awesome performance at the track for half the money with our centrifugals.

11.6 et Paxton HO kit
That's good time and here is an example of a 11.6 ET on a Paxton HO kit

Adding the 'cooler is a big improvement..... not that the standard kit is lacking but more that the cooler enhances the power curve and makes delivery more consistent from run to run.

Hey Brian,
From one auto guy to another I am very impressed with your track times. Yeah...horsepower is a requirement but your one of the fastest auto's out there. Tom just has good credit!!

Good credit is just as good as cash nowadays.

I know, I was just kiddin' with ya. I got lucky and paid for the blower with a very big tax refund a couple years ago, but had to make a deal with my wife to use last year's big tax refund for a family trip to Holland (which we took last summer and had a blast). This year's tax refund wasn't quite as big and we paid down revolving debt with it. Maybe next year's tax refund will go toward an intercooler and/or long tube headers. This year it'll just be small stuff since we are trying hard not to use the credit cards and get them paid off.

Here's a little known fact that I don't share much about my car since we all like to brag about big #'s. It dyno'd decently (Mustang Dyno, by the way) at 364 rwhp @ 6,400 rpm's, but it only laid down 304 lb ft of torque. There are plenty of N/A GT's out there making much more torque, but the converter & gears really bolster my launches, then the blower handles it from a roll. Again, it comes down to picking parts that work well together.

Looks like BFG's in his signature but not sure what size.....

I'd love to run some 11.9XX's with my GT. My 60' times aren't great (1.79-1.85), but I don't spin at all on launch. I run BFG 275/40/17 drag radials at 18 psi. If a softer sidewall would help, I'll try it. If I could get my 60's in the 1.6's, then I think I could run high 11's. Of course, a few dozen extra horsepower, like Redrocket06, and I'd be there.

Having taken many physics classes in high school and college, I've always believed that real horsepower can best be measured empirically with timeslip data. After all, horsepower is just a measure of torque applied over a known time & distance and the math to calculate it is straightforward.
