I was spinning WELL beyond the 1/8th, couldn't cut 60's better than 2.5 (well, one 2.46....), and all of this was without launching at all (launched torquebraked to 1100rpm....10mm/Hg) and didn't go beyond 1/3throttle till ~35mph....Managed to squeeze off a 14.4@100 with all of it though.

Next year: Get rid of the crapass borrowed 205/50-16's and run some atleast 225 drag radials, and pick up some 13 second slips. Just cutting the 60' would get me down to 13's, factor in the fact I was spinning way beyond the 60' and having to lift down the track, and I should have some nice times...

14.4@ 96mph (2.1 60ft) in the Stang. Which seems to be the norm for a stock auto. Oh and Nic I was excited to see you make a pass till I saw you having issues at the line.

Issues isn't even the half of it. This piece of shit DOES NOT like to run before it's warmed up. Did get a couple clean runs in earlier in the night, but the car slowed down every single run

MayDay, were you at Richmond? I've got a video of me running an older Volvo (I think it was green). Was that you?

13.68 @ 98

cam only, untuned

sorry about your problems nic, hopefully it's not anything major. that "car gets slower" thing is a real sinking feeling.

Nah, nothing major. Just a power valve and a bruised ego.
