14.34 @98 mph!!!....vids finally added

[Sho Amo]

my trap was 95 and only pulled a 15.5 how much do you think every mph on the trap would net me?

 

[Huntervf]

Net you what?

 

[SeanMc]

That's a great 1/8th mile time. My best was a 10.1@73mph. Not to shabby for a heavy ATX with a big guy driver .

There's not really a direct relation between ET and trap speed. I'd say the car is capable of mid-high14s.

Your Trap Speed is an indicator of the power your car is making. Your E.T. is how effectively you are using your power.

Well put, AREA91. ^^

I've dropped a 1/10th, and had worse 60' times. 2.3-2.7s. the best run of that night was a [email protected] was with a 2.7 60'.

That is good air, and Atco/Englishtown are good fast tracks to run on. Sea level stuff.

If you can crack 9 flat in the 1/8, you'll be in the 13's now. Car has enough power. Traps are right there.

Find you some 16" wheels with 225/50/16 drag radials. That's an effective 3.90 "gear" and you'll be in the 13.xx

Are you lift shifting? Keep it on the wood and with some shorter, stickier tires, you're all set.

I hope to get in the 13's when i finally get the new better Pro-M 80 maf, BBB, and PP runners installed. For 16" wheels and DR option, it is just too much money for right now and well i think it might be able to do it with the some new tires i am getting actually i do not have the SFC welded in yet and i heard that helps the launch so well see what she runs when i go again in a month or so

For the lift shifting question i am not sure. my dad ran the 14.3 run so i am not sure on how he shift. all i know is he launches the car almost perfectly.
Acutally what is lift shifting exaclty?? I am gonna guess not taking your foot of the gas aka power shifting.

Unless you can launch it harder, it'll be tough by just adding a handfull of hp at the top. Car is already making good power, you're close, just need a little more 60'.

If you want street tires to do double drag duty, the best hooking street tire I ever ran on the SHO was/is the Yoko ES100.

That'll do it. Worth an honest 1.5-2 tenths. But you gotta get mean with it and don't care if you break something...

Hey. I've got those! :hdance:

 

[yamahaSHO]

I dont think a stock MTX SHO should run mid 14's.That if it is a freak maybe and on top of that has maintence up to-date. I think high 14 to low 15s is more accurate.

Great times! A stock SHO driven properly is possible to reach mid 14's. My '92 could do it and it wasn't a freak. In fact the motor was an old junk yard motor that had sat outside (out of the car) for over a year.

 

[Toolman]

MID 14's is 14.4-14.6. Just for clarification.

 

[SASHO91]

So in "theory".... my car could be in the low 14's? (14.1-14.3)

yeah, im doing some bench racing....
EDIT: and i'd say my sig number is off by about 10hp. Seriously. As that was on alot of "old" stuff.... old (restictive)exhaust, plugs, wires, fuel filter, O2's, EEC(swap'd in a X2J ) , the intake has been opened up more-so, bigger MAF, UDP's and uh..... its lighter....

 

[Speedie13]

Wow. Great thread, lots of good info. Reading this really makes me wanna go run my 93...its got a ypipe on the way and I really think its capable of some good times, if I can get used to running it. (may take a few runs lol)

BlackonBlack your car sounds amazing and I agree it will be capable of alot more with a little fine tuning.

There is nothing better than spanking a 97 camaro Z28 with 285HP, 6 speed trans, and posi rear by 2 car lengths in your taurus!!!!
