What should i do to make my stang atleast a 12 sec. car on the strip?

[MustangChris]

i run out of gear just after the 1/4 with 4.10s in a 5spd.

precisely. it just becomes the next weakest link. and with everything you upgrade, you spend more money. and the next thing that breaks is exponentially more money than the last.

12s is pretty easy if you're willing.

4.56 gear
28" slick
rear LCA
front fox springs
nitrous
tune

will run deep 12s all day long. don't over complicate the recipe.

Any reason why you say 4.56s and 28 inch tire instead of say 4.10 and 26 inch tire?

They come out to about the same overall ratio...

Although a 28 inch tire will definately be heavier, but will probably get better traction out of the hole...but I feel like a 26 inch slick wouldnt have any problems hooking.

I guess 4.56s would be nasty on the street.

Ive never been in a 4.56 mod car so I couldnt say

from my experience, the taller sidewall allows for a lot better 60', especially once you upgrade the power. you are right, the overall gear is the same. a 500whp car is going to run through the traps right about redline in 3rd.

lol...what?

3rd in the auto, 4th in the stick...but either way, a 500 rwhp car will blow the f**k up before it gets through the traps with that setup, unless its revving to 7k.

@ 6k, redline, you would only be at like 110 mph with 4.56s and a 28 inch tire.

A lot of it depends on setup but I know my car with about 400 rwhp will be trapping close to 120 mph...which is why I have 3.73s

what tire do you have, and how hard is the car hooking?

 

[BOOM_FIST]

PI head swap, cams, intake, exhaust, 4.10's, good clutch, weight reduction, slicks and some bad ass driving skills and you'll be there.

None yet since my blower is getting rebuilt now...I will be running MT et drag slicks, 26 inch tall.

The car should be dead hooking

 

[duff daddy]

its not too tough, tall gear tall tires and basic bolt ons youll be good....


as far as the whole stock axle and slicks YOU WILL BE FINE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD i have over 30 passes on my slicks, stock drivetrain (bottom end back) with 125k and 373 gear's and launch at 5k dump and im fine...

 

[Willis_98GT]

duff daddy is right, i got a friend that was doing the same thing on a 160k nonpi motor spraying a 150 out of the hole every time dead hooking on 28/10.5s

 

[atrainsgt]

Someone I know locally just broke his axle a couple weeks ago launching at 5k with only 248rwhp... with slicks. You may be fine for a while, but they could break at any moment.

I think it depends on a couple things and just flat out luck of the draw.

Duff daddys car is light as shit so im sure a 3000 lb car is gonna put less stress on axles than a 3500 lb car.

I agree. I think my friends car is 3200'ish.

 

[duff daddy]

my car isnt that light it has almost all the stock stuff in it, and isnt gutted by any means...

Yea but its a gts with drag rims homo and your like a race jocky...

Im saying yours and my car compared to say even a new edge or a vert...we have a good bit of weight advantage.
