Hey everyone,
So I wanted to get some opinions on track times. I go to Mason Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown, MD b/c that's the closest one to my hometown. I have a 94 5.0 with the following mods:
-BBK CAI
-BBK equal length shorty headers
-O/R Prochamber midpipe
-Magnaflows
-Pro 5.0 shifter
-Centerforce DF clutch
-3.73s w/posi
-31-spline axles
-upper and lower control arms
-subframes
-Eibach Pro Kit (springs, shocks, struts, sway bars)
-Aluminum underdrive pulleys
Before last fall, I had run mid to low 14s with a best of 14.2 @ 96 mph. After I put the Eibach Pro Kit on there, I went last fall and this was my best time:
60': 2.076
1/4: 14.535
1/4 mph: 97.80
I'm very consistently running mid 14s with this setup, but after reading other people's posts I feel like I'm doing something wrong and should be running a tad quicker. My 60' times are always 1.9 or 2.0 on street tires (sometimes I drop down to 20-25 PSI in the rear), so I know I can launch the car well. Usually I shift at 5,000 RPMS (ending in 4th gear).
Does anyone have any comments or recommendations? Am I shifting too early? Am I really just crazy and these times are actually accurate?
Thanks for the help!
