for a second there.
That depends on what your goals are. 26" tall tire, 4.10 and 6,500 engine rpm is good for 122 mph. 6,700 engine rpm is about 126 mph. I doubt Jason is looking for more than 122ish anyways.
The issue here was wrong tire for the application OR more suspension, launch and driver tuning is needed.
A gear makes it get into boost quicker. If it was a twin screw like a Whipple, I'd agree but I've read over and over that centi blowers love gears. I honestly think that the car isn't making power. I had a tune issue last year where it was running rich and throwing codes due to a vac leak. My A/F looks good on the wideband, but who knows. If it's making power, the car is just a turd I guess.
Ya, I have seem what Sutton Ford and others have done with a built motor and boost. I would take a 3v over a 2v mod motor any day.
I have still yet to see a timeslip from your "record" run.
The GTR ran a best of 11.9@119
Yeah, I don't want to talk smack as my car might blow up. If it starts on fire, I am good with that.
The thing that chaps my ass is that there is a guy with a similar setup on S197forum running almost .6 & 6mph quicker through the 1/8. That's with a 3.31 gear too and an auto with stock stall. I ran faster through the 1/8th with the stock 3.55 gears too.
wow I am offended you doubt my word.
There is a video that was posted last night that shows the run as well.
lmao Take the money and run to the dealer for a Boss. I support that idea!
He had to be happy with an 11 second pass out of a stock GTR with no drag strip experience.
Throw a slick on it and see what it does. A manual trans is MUCH harder to hook on a small sidewall drag radial.
you only run 11.9 in that racecar?wow I am offended you doubt my word.

You even beat me to the 1/8. Not sure why the car is such a turd. It's an unsolved mystery.
Yeah, he was happy with the way the GTR ran. I think it had a little more in it too.
This was in my daily driver 2011 GT. Only mods are lowering springs, Koni shocks/struts, front runners and slicks.
I will bet it is the tires. ET in drag racing is all about the first part of the track. That is where your problem starts. What was that other car's 60' and 330' times? I bet better than yours.
Ya, would be cool to see him get closer to the 11.60 he says some of the guys on the forum have run. I am sure the car has it in it.
My 60' was a 1.73, which was quicker than the other guy I am referencing.
I am 100% impressed with this car. From that ET to the way it drives everyday. They really are great cars.
Guys have gone 10's with stock motors with supporting hardware and tunes. JPC went 10.1x this weekend with a sealed, intake to crank, Ford engine. I assume the oxygenated Shell FTW fuel. But still hard to argue the performance of these factory engines.
I am impressed by your car too. I might just give up on my Three Valve Turd and start looking at 5.0's next spring. I'd like a GT500, but I don't think my other half would allow that.
