Got a baseline- 10.82@127.97

went to Martin Mi. last night to get a baseline before I added my Wolffe drag swaybar. 1.61- 60', 6.96@101.60 1/8, 10.82@127.97

my suspension is stock swaybar( soon to be gone!!)
Spohn torque arm & lowers
QA1's all way around

I was only able to make 2 passes due to the fact ton of people getting ready for Pinks Allout Qualifier. my goal is 10.50's and with dropping 60' time should get there. M6 car launching @ 4800

adding Wolffe swaybar and wanted to compare stock vs aftermarket, plan on going to track next week will post results again

10.50's will be a breeze......

Work the suspension and get the 60' in the low 1.40's It will go faster.....


Whats you engine program?

How does it leave? IS there a bog/dead hook or tire spin? Can anyone watch the tire for you and report back? Front end action also, does it rise and fall sharply? Not at all? Does it rise and stay up? I don't think I ever seen your car or video. launch rpm doesn't sound too timid. Does it spray at WOT, when the clutch is dumped, or is there an rpm window?

Sounds mean though! I'm shooting for mid 10's also at PINKS.

tire spin, left front up about 8", right about 4", why I'm adding Wolffe swaybar, spray is on WOT.I have a window switch but bypass it when at the track

Should have came to Milan for the sat. morning track rental. Looked worthwhile from the pics.

No idea... sounds cool! haha

I wonder if there is some ET to shave in the 1-2 shiftpoint? More or less rpm or is it so fast that you're just happy to get a clean 2nd whenever? I'm guessing you shift at or before the 60'.

3.89 gears, 26" ET Streets @ 12 lbs ( 26-11.50-15), I have my shift light set@ 6800, if swaybar doesn't do the trick, switching to 4.33 and 28's, still think I can cut 1.4's with the tire I have, just need to tune and find a happy launch rpm. have less than 12 passes total since I got the car done last year, hurt a few fealings on the street though!! license plate says" C-YA GT " love the Ford guys, especially my brother and his GT buddies
