Today, we made a few modifications to our car and again I headed directly to Milan Dragway.

Quick data - 2011 Mustang GT auto, 3.15 gear, stock airbox/filter, and the mods below. The car really needs a shorter tire or a gear.

Filled with 93 Octane, but did not update the tune as our tuner was out of the office today.

Installed the following modifications:

Stainless Works 1 7/8" Longtube Headers
Stainless Works Catted Mid-Pipe
Stainless Works 3" Catback
Cobra Jet 15 x 4 Front Wheels
Goodyear 15” Front Runners
Cobra Jet 15 x 10 Rear Wheels
BFG 325/50/15 Drag Radials (5 years old, did not hook well)

Headed to Milan Dragway at 4:00pm

Arrived at Milan at 5:15pm, 285 miles on odometer. In 4 hours, 10 quarter mile passes were made

Several 12.2X, 12.1X passes were made. The best pass of the night was 12.07 @ 116.25 mph

Car # 258

Oh she is for sure about to be in the 11s with some better tires. Good luck!

 

Thanks!

I'd like to go back to with the stock tires to see what kind of gains we got from just the headers, but I got a chance to use the Bogarts, so figured I'd give 'em a try. I figure they had to be good for a few tenths.

I think with new tires and a gear it will easily go into the 11's.

Rick....was there any tire spin at all? Kinda like Terry's (Beefcake) car, I would think the 60 ft would be better? Perhaps the cars just have a really tight converter.

Regardless, good run! A bit nicer conditions lately, huh?

 

I seriously almost blew off commitments to with Rick the weather has been so nice!

 

Bob,

I was experimenting leaving at different rpm's. Sometimes it spun a bit, sometimes it dead hooked, but my 60' was always 1.8-1.9. Those tires have been sitting in the attic for 5 years, so they aren't the greatest. I think with a shorter, new tire and a gear it should 60' better.

Thanks! Yeah, the weather was nicer last night as well.

that tire being as old as it was did you no favors LOL

 

Sounds reasonable. No doubt a shorter tire would be a big help. Those things are going to FLY with a good converter and a little bit of lightening....makes it tempting to get an A6....



















Nah.

 

God that looks SO beastly!
