Took the 86 took the track. I figured it would run around a 9.5 in the 1/8th. Stock 5.0, AOD with shift kit (supposedly, it shifts firm?), and 3:73 gears. Car has smog pump delete, e-fan, ford racing shorty headers, mac pro-chamber, and 2.5" flow master cat back.

Drove around the burnout box, did spin the tires. They didn't want street tire cars to get into the groove (understandable), so nobody on street tires had a chance. lol

1st run (and best run)

60ft - 2.999

330ft - 7.222

660ft - 10.611 @ 73.89 mph.

Obviously, the 60ft times are murdering the et. I got a few things planned before the next outing. How much do you think it will help? What does you think it will run by doing the following 4 things?

1.0 new 245-45-17 M/T Drag Radials on star fish (99-04 gt) wheels

2. Short belt.

3. Bumping the timing up to around 13 degrees?

4. 87-93 upper intake and tb

Think I can hope for low 9's? Figure stick tire should get me down to at least a 2.2(?) 60 foot, and drop my et down to at least a 9.8. Hoping for a .2 each from the short belt, timing, and intake and tb.

I'm going to set my sights high with a 9.2 if weather is good!
