justinschmidt1 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think the biggest thing will be that 60 foot man...put a real slick on it and launch the hell out of it and I think you will see good times. A DR probably wont hold a 5k launch haha.I also was assuming your v6 was a few hundred lbs lighter than a gt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6procharged Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 a buddy of mines bullit will handle a 5k launch with drag radials on 17s lol.. he has a hellacious suspension on pretty much a stock car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have the sub frame connectors done already. And it was a v6 I was talking about.And Justin, I know coming out of the hole will be the biggest thing. I trap higher speeds than gts with gears, (granted, I had a slow 60 foot because I didn't launch whatsoever, too cheap for tires)Without a launch, I did 15.5 with a 2.5 60 foot. Other bolt on new edge gt's with gears were running 14.7 at 87 mph. I trapped 94 (93.5). And that was my third time ever down a track lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gt was trapping ~96 or so when running mid 14s.My car did 14.0 @ 101 mph, my brothers auto with a stall, 1.7-1.8 60 foot went 13.3 @ 103 mph.You're gonna need a lot more MPH that 94 to run 13s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Lmao, maybe they sucked at driving then. Most people said if I brought my 60 foot down I could be high 14's now. But again, still doing the gears (stock 3.27 now) alum. d/s, and LCA's, and a few other this n thats I'm sure.The rear end will definitely handle 5k dumps.

justinschmidt1 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Idk, sounds like they were on the way to a better ET and let off or something?Either way, a stock 99-04 GT should run lower 14s @ 97-98 mph, in that area.Usually bolt on, geared, 99-04 GTs run mid 13s @ 102-104 mph from my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm not arguing with you lol. Just noting, my buddy could tell you the same thing (he's bolt on here with the lightning) as he was there that night.The one was on the button but it wasn't working so he didn't spray. I think his best was a 14.4 that night, on slicks.It was about 100 degrees though haIt was also the night Frank blew up his t-45 ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinschmidt1 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I believe you, trap speeds just seem mad low. lolI wouldnt think the heat would make that big of a difference....either way, you're gonna be running in that shit.You might struggle to get into the 13s if that trap speed doesnt pick up a lot haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, I'll find out. I hang pretty close to s197s, they eventually pull away but I'm not getting walked.

justinschmidt1 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yep, im curious to see what it does.Its extremely difficult to judge what a car does just by the fact that it hangs with X car.I mean ive raced coyotes from a roll and they would "Hang" with me you could say...but my car ran low 11s and they ran low 13s.

Number Tew Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ha, you guys don't know who you're talking to obviously. Once the rear is done, I might do a little this and that here and there, but until it gets boost, I know that's where its stuck. But I'll build another powerplant for boost ha.Josh, I'm probably going to go to the shop, open my door and say "match that as best you can" for around $1600 ha. I know, it won't be the best paint job in the world, anything is better than what it has now.I have new bumpers, the rear is a GT bumper that has mustang filled in, I'll have to redo my exhaust to have it line up with the slots for the pipes, but in due time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinschmidt1 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I painted my hood, bumper, and decklid after removing the wing and it all turned out great.Probably cost me a few hundred bucks in material for the paint but I did use PPG, high quality stuff.

Number Tew Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I aim to use high quality paint and I can probably do a lot of the prep work. I do it all day long on boats lol. I have a few hook ups around here for body shops which helps.It doesn't look like the PO even sanded it down before it was painted. the laser red under the new paint looks completely fresh.

kennyGT Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 ok i read through most of this and first thing i want to say is 5k-6k launch's are not that big a deal lol. i do it on stock suspension stock rear stock gear 01 gt on nitrous. second, most v6's are running 14.5 with just bolt ons at 96mph. there is a guy in a sn95 with 00 engine full bolts on mostly cheap mac stuff and a 100shot running 12.8 at 108 on motor 14.0 flat on bolt ons lol. from what i see is 4.3 stroked motor with cam???? and manifold along with bolts on should be easy mid 13's by the way 5k dumps on nitrous have been seen by frank lol and that was 4 years ago but i still have the same stock clutch 6 years strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yay, so you think 13's is easy with the 4.10's, and that a high 12 is a goal that's possibly reachable with a lot of seat time and working with the suspension?

the.greg Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I really do hope you meet your 1/4 goals, but theres no way you will get that to low 13's without nitrous, or major weight reduction,drag suspension and slicks. I would love to see you make me eat my words though, so best of luck to you. You need closer to 300whp to hit those times, but again I mostly think its just unrealistic because you want to do it with a full street weight car. I think its great that you have your own plans for the car and want to do it in street-weight. I just don't think gears and a built rear are gonna help you that much because you don't have enough power to make a big difference. Imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyGT Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 if he can make the 240rwhp range with just a stock 8.8 stock gt springs and a 275 slick/cheater slick he can definitely hit low 13's 250rwhp and he will hit the 12 mark, again seat time is gonna play a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'll have to get back up on the dyno, but I believe since the retune I'm in the 240-50 range.Greg, I guess I won't know until I get out there and try it. I know all of you are much more knowledgeable about drag than I am, that's why I'm not trying to argue. I've been down the quarter 3 times, and I don't launch my car on the street.

Ford Motorsports Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 IMHO, you would be a high 13 with sticky tires. My 03 gt, bone stock with 1000 miles on it, it went 14.02@99mph. With stock suspension and gears, full bolt ons was running 13.1@104 with 2.0 60 fts, 270 rwhp. My 99 with 01 4v/5speed with a stock v6 rear on drag radials, was running 13.2@106 with 2.2 60 fts, spinning like mad, dynoed 305 rwhp. Threw a 8.8, upper and lower control arms and 3.73s, ran 12.8@109 with a 2.1 straight off the trailer. After that I haven't ran it because it is blown up. It is getting a fully built rear, 31 splines, locker, 4.30s, girdle, welded tubes, adjustable upper and lowers out of my red car. Even with a 2v, this rear end makes the car fly!

I'm almost positive he will trap around 103mph which will put him in a good boat against most new stock sports car except the obvious mustangs corvettes and camaros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 in my opinion it could do alot better time because when we tried a launch on the 7.5 it literally just spun till we finally backed off and caught. then the second time when he didnt launch which was like if you were to take off normal was the 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
