Was a good night last night, even the lawn bowler ran a 12.07 @ 114 Mph in my car when my best at the time was 12.01 @ 114 Mph but my final run I ran a PB of 11.99 @ 114 Mph

Time slips below, yes I know my RT is slow but you can't say my car isn't consistent that it ran 5 passes at 12.1 @ 112 Mph

Thanks Rodney for talking me into giving your car a run down the drag strip even tho I was not happy driving someone else s car . After you running a few 12.0 and a couple of 12.5 times I thought I would only run a 12.5 at best ,as I don't know the car . When you told me I ran a 12.0 I didn't believe you :smile01: but I did :thumb: . Gee what would happen if I had a 2 nd run 11.9 :smile01: and then if I got use to it 11.8 or faster :lmao: That's why I didn't have a 2 nd run :grin: . Anyway your 11.9 time was great and I don't want to see any more 12 sec time cards from your car again . :burnout: :thumb: .

You must be pleased Rodney, breaking into the 11s, well done
-
Great work guys. You must be pretty pleased with that Rodney.
-
Hahaha so the moral of the storey here is if you want to see a low 12 get Glenn to drive your car👍 Just goes to show its a big factor on experience.
-
Ryan what are you talking about ? . Rodney ran a couple of 12.0s that's 12 flat ,then I had a go and did the same 12.0 yes 12 flat ,then Rodney ran a 11.9 then we went home .

Ohh I thought that was you that ran the in the 11. And Rodney had all the low 12s Ither way his car is making good times. I'd love to see my coupe do that :nopity:
-
Some very good times there, looks like you are getting it sorted nicely now Rodney :thumb:
-
Rodney/69 ish ,Ryan/ shelby mustro and myself went to willowbank drags yesterday . Ryan in is new turbo mustang and did his best time so far , and broke into the 13s with a 13.7 :pepper: after finding out the auto shifts quicker than him with the paddle shift . Rodney had a bad day with a 12.298 a best I think :cry: and I had a bad day also only running a 12.33 :thud: and :cry: .
-
I'll be looking to join in your fun one day, just need to get my ass in gear
-
Lee my car is going slower and slower these days . Its 6 years old and been cooked a few times ,BUT never thrashed :lmao: . I couldn't bother about it anymore because if your not running in the 10s you may as well watch . I only went because it was a club day and only decided a couple of days before and did not do anything to the car before racing except chance the tyres .
-
Shelby Mustro and myself yesterday, he is now running low to mid 13s,

Rodney, what times did that black EcoBoost Mustang run?

That was Shelby mustro/Ryan I am sure he will tune in but I am sure his first run was a 13.2 or 13.3 which was his best run.

Not bad for a biggish car with a 4 cylinder engine.
-
Not bad are you kidding that's very quick ,13.2 Is fast even for a V8 . That's what I have seen a few new mustang V8 s run lately . The only problem with the 4 cyl EB is the noise they make :sick: nothing in a mustang sounds better than a V8 . And boy was it windy at the track yesterday and coming down the track right at you ,most cars ran slower mph and a higher ET than normal .
-
13.1 was the best time of the day and that run was against you Rodney. Few more mods I am hopeful of cracking a mid 12.
As I have found with these turbo cars they are good for a few runs. The hotter my turbo got the worse I ran.

Thats the same with all cars mate, let them cool down and they will run quicker
-
Turbo cars have the big problem with heat . Some guys run a water spray that shoots water over the front intercooler and a better cover over the turbo . Ryan a 13.1 is great and that's what a FG XR6 turbo runs std at around 108 mph .
-
Hey Ryan how much have you spent on that sucker ? 6 grand ?
-
That's what my mates FG G6E Turbo ran at 4000+ lbs standard. With new valve springs, bigger injectors and fuel pump, intercooler and finally a bigger turbo at 12 lbs of boost he progressed to 11.75 at 125mph.
-
I had 2 mates run there FG XR6 turbos ,both auto ,both had K& N filters other wise stock . Both manual shifted and both ran 13.3 @108 mph then left them in drive then one ran 12.76 @ 110.3 the other ran 12.75 @ 110.8 mph . Both ran those times at night in the cool air .

GT4 Rally Celica's had the intercooler sprayer standard.

See I come up with all the good ideas and the car makers steal my ideas .

A few of us are going to willowbank tomorrow night for a run down the track .
-
We had a good night and it was good to catch up with Shaunp and Boofhead at the track for a look see . Mine ran a couple of 12.0s and a couple of 12.1s so not too bad and I ran with my std 14 inch wheels with std hub caps. ,but with sticky tyres . Rodney 69ish raced also and so did mustang mel :thumb: .

Hi Glenn.
Good consistant times. What was your mph and 60 foot times?
Hope to get there soon and give mine a couple of runs to see the improvement with the 3500 stall.
-
I only had my 14x5.5 rims on with 215/60x14 old ET street tyres but they still work well . 12.01 @111.98 mph and 1.69 in 60 foot . Can and does run low to mid 1.6s with the 235/60x15 ET streets . Top end is not so good but I only run an edelbrock performer RPM and leave the stock ford air cleaner on ,total sleeper look . Down on mph right from go ,1/8 mile only 89 mph also .
-
Still impressive.
I'd be happy with that with my new engine.
What size stall does yours have, as those 60 foot times are very good.
Also how heavy is your mustang.? Mine is 3100 pounds with me in it.
Cheers.
-
Stall flash is 3800 rpm . It's a 66 coupe so I would think about the same as yours ? .
