yes, a low mileage stock motor will perform better than a high mileage stock motor.

 

[1996mustangGT]

thats pretty wild,
i never really thought of that

 

[xx9gt6xx]

i dunno about normal, must be a extreamly good driver with dam near perfect conditions :-\ i was only running times like that with my mods in sig, but i'm not the best racer and the conditions weren't great either so who knows, but good job by the way :thumb:

Agreed. You definatly have a freak car there, good job.

 

[stangracing98]

Very good times you got there. :thumb: I also have a 98

any diffrence between the 96-97 and 98's?

no, i heard the 10hp increase on the 98's came from a little bit diffrent tune in the computer. every thing eles is the same.

 

[ALITL8]

i dont know where they got the extra 10hp but it pisses me off

 

[1996mustangGT]

+1
also ive read theres something diffrent with the radiator?

 

[wht46gt]

yes the radiator is of a diff design and a better flow than the 96-97 models dont know why but it is and my best 60' is 2.02 and my best time is 15.21 at like 90+ mph with only like 60,000 miles on the clock

 

[rgs]

well your 60 foot is pretty damn good. you must be granny shifting it the whole way down the track

 

[wht46gt]

me yah i do i shift at like 45 grand

Probably a rumor that everyone believes. Call Ford and ask for parts numbers. 96 97 98 have the exact same parts number aka means same radiator.

PS I've got 227,000 miles on my motor and I can hang with my buddies 2002 TA as long as he's not to the floor. But he claims he's given it 80 to 90 % throttle. This is of low speeds of course because past 100 is LS1 grounds for victory unless we are packing more hp.

i heard that too, but also accompanied by better flowing exhaust manifolds than the 96-97's............but i forget where i heard that. :dunno:

i have always read that the only difference was the computer tune.

So I went to the track about 2 weeks ago and ran a 14.39 @97mph in my 98 gt......only mods=3.73 gears. Is that a pretty normal time? Plus I have B.F Goodrich G-Force kdws which also hook up pretty good. Any input would be great. Thanks

jsut curious, what was your 60ft time? that usually tells a lot
