New bests for my '07. 13.129@105.79. I'm confident with some more tweaking of the 2 step, I'll be able to hit 12's. Anyone have any clue how many, if any, people have hit 12's with 3.31's and no forced induction or cams/ported heads? I'm really getting this car dialed in. Out of the 3 people that have raced our '05, I still hold the fastest time in that one of 13 flat, but that one has 4.10's.

2007 Mustang GT 5 Spd manual - C&L Racer intake, SCT XCal2 with Bamachips 93 octane race tune, Steeda UDP, Steeda CMDP, Pypes off road H pipe, MSD 2 step, PMP line locks, M/T ET Street 275/40/17, J&M lower control arms, BMR anti-squat brackets, BMR adjustable panhard bar, BMR adjustable upper control arm, stock 3.31 gears, driveshaft, transmission, and all internals.

Hey darkfire are you powershifting that thing? I'm just trying to figure out if it really helps out that much.

Yes I am, and yes it does. Only on the 2-3 shift though. Next time out I'll powershift the 1-2 and get my launch down, and I should see 12's.

I was just wondering cause my 60ft so far has been 1.77 but my 1/8 mile has only been 8.40. I'm trying to find out where I'm losing time. Maybe I should try it out next time.

Yep, you need to power shift. 4.10's aren't the best for the 1/8th mile, because you have to shift to 3rd, but don't make it too far into third. Even so, if you powershift, that should bring you down a bit.

In my '05, I only have 4.10s, cai, tune, and off road x, along with LCA's. My best time in that is 13.077@106.92. 1/8 time is 8.367@84.67 and 60' was 1.881. I've only taken it down the strip a couple of times, though. I'm sure it is a 12 sec car as well. Point is, you definitely should have a lower 1/8th and powershifting will probably get you there. You're getting decent short times.

Got a new personal best in the 1/8 over the weekend... actually, three times!! My old best was 7.084.

Saturday night I ran 7.035 @ 97.957, followed by a 6.839 @ 101.528, and then finally a 6.834 @ 101.475.

My wife also broke her old record twice as well... she went 6.884 @ 101.264, and then 6.840 @ 102.108.

Thanks Scott. We're not running this week. The next trip will be for Fun Ford Weekend at Fontana on 9/19-9/21. I haven't been on a 1/4-mi in 2 years... and it's been over 3 years for Donna. The plan (goal? hope?) is for both of us to come back from there with 10-sec timeslips!

Hmmmm... I wonder if that would make us the quickest married couple on the forums.

Knocked off two more 13.4's @ 105 & 106mph!

I swear my last run should of been alot lower... I nailed the launch and hit every gear just right, but Atco was having issues with their tree / timing equipment all night so I'll never know...


*I'll post up the time slips after lunch.

New best at the dragstrip tonight...

1/8 mile: 8.082 @ 86.97 mph
1/4 mile: 12.577 @ 110.18 mph

This was at Bremerton Raceway near Tacoma, WA. My first time ever at this track, and first time ever with the supercharger. Time to practice, practice, practice and get into the low 12's.

Donna and I made a total of six runs today at Fun Ford Weekend Fontana, and the slowest of the bunch was 10.811 @ 126.58. My quickest was 10.679 @ 126.51, and Donna's was even better at 10.627 @ 128.21!! The temps were around 90 degrees all afternoon, and the DA was about 4,000 feet.

Of course, videos and more info will be coming later... plus we still have two more days of racing to do this weekend!!
