Hey man, i was just wondering what header you are running in the pics of your EGT engine on the stand?? is it the Armour coated Pacesetter?thanx! that engine is hot

 

[ALIEN3T]

he used to have a gude header. the car had an accident, and the engine was for sale, the header was one of the first things gone. i tried asking for it.

 

[slapyo]

yup, i had a gude racing header. pretty hard to find, but the best one you can get, if you can get ahold of it.

I've got a question for slapyo -

I'm looking at your cardomain site and I see you're running a mid 14 at a trap speed of 97. Is that normal for Mustangs? When a Subaru traps a 97mph, it's a mid-low 13.

A mid [email protected] just seems a bit like a FWD car's time.. a friend's SHO ran a 14.6 @ 96 with a not-so-good launch.. and he thought that was a high trap speed for his time..

 

[slapyo]

it is about right for the trap speed. i am practicing my launches and shift points. my friend has a dyno and we were doing some 1/4 mile simulations on it. we have it figured out where i should launch and shift when i goto the track. hopefully i will be able to bring it down some. people say i should be able to hit around 14.0 to 14.1 with my setup.

Slapyo, you should be able to hit a 14.1-14.3 STOCK...

Check that thread out, he has an 04 5 sp GT nailing 13.9 stock...and he's also trapping aroun 99 mph, which isn't too far off your time. Work on your 60' times and practice more...

I guess you're just used to FWD drivetrains...

 

[slapyo]

hehe ya ... that's what my friend said "ok i won't say too much cause all you have driven is FWD cars" so ya, we will be going to the track again soon i hope.

keep in mind man, lot of it comes from reaction time and the first few seconds. I've seen cars w/ shitty trap speeds pull out ahead of ppl who had better trap speeds because they got them at the line.

A lightened flywheel, tall geared transmission, quick reatcion can all increase the 1/8th times way ahead of a heavier beefier car. Racing the quarter is mostly about quickness, not speed.

 

[slapyo]

i'm gonna be doing some more mods to my car soon as i can afford them, which would include 4.10 gears and a locker rear end. muhahaha.

 

[TitoElSpicco]

that should easily put you in the mid-13's

what kind of locker are you getting? i recommend a full spool. that way no one thinks you're joking around.

 

[slapyo]

gonna get a detriot truetrac and 31 spline axles.

niiiiice.
you'll love it. never heard anyone say a bad word about it..
everyone com1plained about my ranger with a spooled 9".

 

[James92Scort]

keep in mind man, lot of it comes from reaction time and the first few seconds.

Reaction time has nothing to do with your quarter mile times....but there on after if you start spinning or not gripping while you come into your powerband, that will affect your ET.

 

[slapyo]

we have the same setup in our 01 saleen right now. 4.10 gears, detroit truetrac, 31 spline axles. we are gonna get some slicks and take it to the track.
