699, i went to the track on friday w/ new rear shocks
Posted by that_cool_guy18, Feb-25-02 04:42 PM
last time i went to the track i was really slow. i had 3 11.07s. all i did to the car in between the last time i went to the track and friday was change plugs and replace the rear shocks. i ran four 10.6s all between 10.64 and 10.69.

i raced a 2000+ mustang v6 and beat him. here is our timeslips

me
rt .503 (my best in about 20 trips down the track in 2 weekends)
60' 2.487
mph 66.19
et 10.654 (1/8)

mustang
rt .883
60' 2.398
mph 67.43
et 10.597

i didn't talk to the guy at all but he was probally stock. also do you all think it is faster to have A) underdrive pulley or B) stock pulley w/out the powersteering/AC belt? i didn't have option B friday.
i'm too lazy to put on the pulley.

UDP with out belts is fastest.

The UDP is much lighter than the stock pulley. That alone helps. Then on top of that, it drives the A/C, alt. and power steering with 30% less power which keeps it streetable. Take off the belts at the track and you have the best of both worlds. :)

good win on the new V6 mustang

That's why I wish I'd race in the 1/8th sometimes, with a good launch and R/T you can take out "faster" cars which aren't driven as well.

Keep working on the launch, you should be able to get to 2.3's for the 60 foot. Just keep that wheelspin down.
