Kaptan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 .... was my first time running the car this year. Last time was over a year ago and the best time I ran was 13.9 @ 98. My current mods are RallyPerformance shorty downpipe, sti uppipe, Perrin lightweight pulley, and AP w/ TDC stage 2 e-tune. Temperature was in the lower 80's with about 50% humidity. I was only able to get 2 runs in about 4.5 hours time as the track was packed:( . Here are some pics from the staging lanes - Videos below. http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/7401/atco003xp7.jpg http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/8528/atco006mf0.jpg[/url] http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8205/atco007jz8.jpg In the picture above, the Mustang Gt in front of me was the car I raced in my second run. Here's the first run video - > Putfile - atco LGT vs El Camino I thought for sure I was going to be owned by the El Camino. It sounded mean:eek: ....until he stalled after launching:lol: I didn't do too well myself as I hit the rev limiter in 1st and when I shifted to second....well you can see in the video:lol: As it's been said many times here, heat soak is definitely a problem with the stock intercooler:icon_mad: After my first run, I knew I'd have alot of time till my next so I bought a small bag of ice for the intercooler (no soap - so it was safe:icon_bigg ) ---------LGT -------vs -------El Camino (year unknown) R/T -.--510 ------------------1.277 60' ----2.017 ----------------3.682 330----5.888---------------- 8.252 1/8 ----9.096 ---------------11.932 MPH-- -76.24 ---------------67.84 1000---11.846 -------------15.120 1/4--- -14.184 -------------17.798 MPH ---96.31 ---------------84.47 My last run was my best. The car felt much stronger and the ACT 6 puck clutch seemed to engage with a little more clamping force than the first launch. I still shifted a little late into 2nd (6900rpm), but was able to pull off a decent run. I know the 60ft could be a couple of tenths less, but I attribute that to the clutch not being hot enough. I think with a better launch and better shifting, a 13.4 - 13.5 is possible w/ stock intercooler. Second run video - LGT vs Mustang GT - > Putfile - ATCO LGT vs Mustang GT --------LGT----- vs. -------Mustang GT R/T--- 1.039 --------------.808 60' ---2.002 --------------2.061 330 --5.737 --------------5.977 1/8 ---8.825 --------------9.790 MPH --79.85 --------------67.70 1000- 11.470 ------------12.718 1/4 ---13.729 ------------15.111 MPH --100.15 ------------94.90 After this run, the Mustang driver flew up behind me as I was picking up my slip with his head hanging out trying to figure out what kind of car just beat him:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my gf camera so I really can't complain. I'll get another one eventually. My old one was stolen by movers when I moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
