Looking forward to some track time

[Night hawk]

Really looking forward to some track time this season, no longer stock I have the Air Raid intake and a great set of tunes from Livernois motorsports, that I'm very happy with.

My goals for this season is 12.5s in the quarter and 25mpg. It will be nice to wail on some brand x trash talkers in the process. Anyone else have new performance goals?

Good luck to you. I think I can get a high 12.6 with the right temperature but not 12.5 with my current setup. At the very least I would have to get a lighter wheel/tire combination. Been debating all winter on weather to do it.

Yea I'm hoping the track I frequent being at pretty much sea level along with very cool temps at the beginning and end of the season, I may be able to just pull it off. If I decide to run drag radials I'll prob do what I did for winter tire rims and use 2010 Mustang GT 18" take offs with BFG DR's

Good luck to you this year!

Just make sure your DR's are the same diameter as your rear tires...

Doesn't anyone go to road courses?

I practice on "ON RAMP CLOVERLEAFS"...

Do you have a performance package? I have an airaid and Livernois tune as well but had assumed I would be in the 13s. I am still debating which I will take to the 1/4 the first time, project Mustang or the SHO. Want to run them both bad!

Thanks for the heads up Bob! Paul, No I don't have the PP, I ran it last year and researched similar cars, I think 12's are def doable, the track I frequent is pretty much close to sea level and the temps in the spring and fall are very crisp. I figured in the config I have now 12.7s are attainable and with Drag radials 12.5s on a crisp well prepped track may happen. We shall see!! I plan on using the stage 4+ tune. Never tried road courses, sounds like it would be fun though.

All you need is a temp in the 40's and you will be there easily. I had traction problems so found DR's worked great, even when the temp was in low 70's... Got in the high 12's, even with my 400-500 weight penalty... Got that 13.0 at 76 deg., when I beat the 2012 Vette Gran Sport! (poor driver-stick and traction issues- bad reaction time). He turned about .05 faster time, but I had 2 runs that day that had a faster ET. On my 12.95, I beat a Mercedes C-6.3 AMG who only turned a 13.2!

One of my favorite vids vs the vette, the win against the AMG would be a good one to see too!

Ah! Are you telling me you don't just dump the clutch and let all it's fancy electronics do the work?!

Not sure what he was doing, but his 12.98 was his best run of the day per some other car owners. A guy with Zo6 told me his car was either bogging or spinning loose. Happened to be lined up with him on one of my high 12 runs. Had him at 1/8 but he beat me by about 3 lengths as he hit 120+! Was a really busy day at Bradenton. Only got 4 runs in 4 hrs. Found that Flex would stay just as cool by leaving it run with hood up.

Thinking about putting on electric activated dump tubes, still researching it to make sure it doesn't hurt anything. It would be only used at the dragstrip.

Do research on boost activated cutouts, way cooler for boosted cars compared to electrics.

I've run at Mid-Ohio several times and its amazing. I have to have some corners in my life.

I mainly AutoX, so that will be the SHO's job this year. The SHO is new to me so i have not expectations as it what it can do, just to try my best and not bake my brakes.
