Hickrocket1258 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well I introduced myself back in the welcome thread. I found this site from Prokiller. I'm more of a drag racer at heart considering I've been brought up around bracket racing which is what I do when I can when it comes to racing. There isn't much known about my mustang out there because I try to keep it on the downlow. It's not like it's stupid power or crazy times but it's a shocker for when I run people. In the mustang world it's a sleeper status to most people. It doesn't have the overplayed Cobra bumper swap, or anything fancy to make it stand out. It literally from the ouside looks like a regular GT that's lowered with a Mach 1 chin spoiler and a catback. The picture you see below is exactly the way it sits. As I said this thing doesn't have a lot of mods or power. Everything on the car is bone stock besides what's below. So what's done to it? Vortech V142lb injectors with Division X pumpFord Racing trans cooler3.73 gears3200 stall converter by Freak Show Performance245/45/17 Nitto 555r on stock bullits The power is pushing out at 347whp/333tq. Best time to date with those mods is 12.17@110. Probably the only goal I have with this car is to get into the 11s and put doubters to sleep who said I can't do it with a 245 drag radial. I'm close and if I can muster up the money and not spend it on my other car, I may be able to do it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 He's got the sleeper mod for sure! Glad you made it over Hicks. Sent from Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted January 16, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Love the sleeper look! That's kinda what I am going for, but side exhaust might give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickrocket1258 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 i didn't realize you got the stall install Rob. how's it working out so far? It's phenominal. When the car hooks, it's fucking amazing. Best 60' with the time is 1.65. You definitely have to give it a little more gas to get it moving in normal driving conditions but still gets decent gas mileage. Also from that pick it looks mint, and is kind of, but it has 109k miles and has its fair share of daily driving abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like your idea of proving the stang can be fast on 245s. Cool concept and looks like you're doing a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickrocket1258 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks everyone for the kind words. Most say just slap some drag wheels on it but that's taking the easy route. I did find a wheel and tire set up that I'm looking to pick up real soon. I just need to get rid of the Pro Stars I have currently. These are the wheels on the sellers car now. He plastidipped them black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I like! Those will look sweet on your car. What tires are on em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickrocket1258 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Not sure of the fronts but the rears are 275/60/15 which might be a little too big for my car. I will only be able to find out once I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will only be able to find out once I get them. that's smaller than my rears Rob and other than bottoming out, they fit in there fine. you're not as low as i am so it shouldn't be a problem.

Hickrocket1258 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Do 275/50's. That's what I was thinking. If the 60s work though I'll use those before changing them to 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickrocket1258 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nothing has happened with my car recently. I have a 3.33 pulley and power pipe to put on the car but just haven't messed with it. I'm almost considering to wait on an intercooler first. Either way I took the car out to the track again for the first time since last year when I got my best time. I only hooked once out of four passes which I cut a 1.70 60' and went 12.34, which was decent, but something wasn't right on the top end only trapping 105 when earlier was trapping 110. I don't know if something is giving way, but as of now it's parked for awhile either way. This was on the 245s again by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
