what gear are you starting in going from a 25?

 

damn that sounds like a bad mo fo. did you sell it?

 

i have a friend that had a stang wit a 150 shot and went high 12's on a radial so i think it is very possiable. it was a 150 and exhuast thats it.

 

It was also my DD as my truck broke down and I sold it so.. Sadly Enough.. I also had to get rid of my Z It sucked to let her go, but I got a great deal on it that I could not refuse.. I ended up buying one of these with the money I got out of it.. So...

It was really a tough transition from RWD Rocket to FWD 4 Cylinder. But my lil redline suprises me each time I drive it.. Cannot complain 30+ MPG FTW!

your talking apples and oranges here. it took him a 150 SHOT to get into the high 12s!?!?! thats ridicoulous, should be running waay better than high 12s

 

Friend had a stock ls1 camaro with a 125 shot took him into 11's :P

 

yea see that sounds right. thats one bad mo fo right there. ahah

 

yea ok but he didnt have a converter or anything it was a bone stock stang wit exhaust and spray thats it.

yea thats an ls1 u put headers a shot, radial and a converter ur can hit low 11's.

 

Headers aren't that big of a factor on the ls1 car like they were on an lt1. But; those are two different animals anyway :P

Stall, Gears do not make up for the difference in an 150 shot of spray :P So.. If your friend on the juice pulls 12's then this stang is mid 13's for sure :P Which I find more in the area of truth.

 

Ok so you say that headers arnt a big factor here is a set of slp headers that are about the middle of the road for power gains.

either way the car that u screwed around wit is at least a 13.0 car if not better.

 

yea wtf headers not a big factor for ls1's? 30whp for under under 500 bucks?

 

I said.. Headers on an LS1 car are not as beneficial as on an Lt1.. Plus.. Its not my thread.. This Mustang DID NOT HAVE HEADERS..

Anyway.. I don't car.. I just don't think the guy should have lost the race :P

This thread is not even about ls1/lt1.. its a f'ing mustang.. Quit getting your panties in a bunch, jesus..
I dyno'd 20 whp with my set of headers on my lt1 :P

A buddy dyno'ed 15 whp more on his ls1 TA. Dunno?

 

so tonight I get curious and disconnect my methanol injection kit.I just simply pull the 2 wires that re power and activation point. I did 3-4 pulls and then just regular granny shifting driving.my car ran soooo much smoother and feels way more responsive. I did a hard pull from 25-120 and it seemed to be putting me back into my seat more than I have ever been..even my girlfriend noticed the difference. any reason why? what u guys think? runnung to rich with it and losing power?

 

Thats Crazy Talk.. I'm guessing you're not tuned for the Meth?

 

More people here need to get their asses to the track.
99-04 2v geared, tuned, stalled and bolt on auto with dr/slicks WILL run 12's with a hard enough launch. Like a 12.99
96-98 2v with the same mods, and pi swapped will run even faster due to the higher compression ratio.

Is it going to happen every run? No. Is it possible? Yes. Has it been done? Yes.
Would i do it? no.

 

tune!

 

my buddy had every bolton besides headers in his 96 gt and he could not break 14.5 at 98 are we talking about the same car here? he was on a drag radial as well, he e.t'd and trapped the same with 4.10's and 3.73's

 

no sir. no one near me can do it. and i dont have the knowledge of hptuners. wish i did though, ive just never done anything like that before. a shop about 2 hours away from me said they could do it, but hav e never tuned a cobalt and want to charge me $650...but tuning for the meth would be doing what exactly? just adding a couple degrees of timing? is it something that could be done in a canned tune?

 

i would not suggest that at all

 

yea i didnt think so...lol hey you got a pm

 

No Canned tune for meth.. Just add a couple degrees? Kinda sorta.. I went from 16 to 24 degrees of timing with my Meth setup... But.. You need a Custom Tune and a Wideband to use the full potential of tuning for meth.. No place around you does Dyno Tuning at all?


I had a 96 Mustang GT.. Stock Heads of Course.. It was an absolute dog with a stall, shift kit, gears, catback, tuned and throttle body and intake plenum.. it was a 14 second car all day long..

The car we are talking about is a 2003 Auto GT.. Intake, Gears, Stall, Catback. There was no mention of a tune or drag radials or slicks that I recall..

That car is not a 12 second car period. IMHO.

 

well turbochargers.com is about 2 hours away. they were going to do it but have never done a cobalt before. they first quoted me 175 an hour, then 125 an hour...then when i called to schedule an apointment they said 650 straight up...so i aint doing that. thats the only place unless i go to a shop that does just mustangs like strictly performance in houston.

 

I'm not sure what to tell you, but.. It should not take them to figure out how to Tune it if they know what they're doing.. 125 an hour for tuning is not bad at all.. I know I was quoted at 250 for Dyno Tuning and as much Dyno time as we need to get the tune right..

Up to you.. But.. To get the full potential out of your modifications you have.. you need a good Custom Tune :P

 

yea 125 is great, but last time i called they said its gunna be 650 up front. they have told me 3 different prices

 

Tell your buddy to go purchase what he needs for a pi-swap, and the car will really wake up.

As it should be. 215hp from factory with a few bolt ons won't get you far.
Pi swapped 96-982v's are seeint around 250-260 at the wheels . . That's not including what little they may get from supporting boltons.

There's also no mention of him checking to see if they were there or not.
Mostly, i'm not replying to his race, but the people who are acting like it takes the touch of the pope for a gt to run 12's with those mods. It's possible, it's being done.
More people need to get to the track, and find out what people are using to make their times, instead of ASSuming they must have some incredible power adder to make a 12.99 pass.
