So last night I went to New England Dragway to see what my new tune had to offer. Conditions were favorable; 65 degrees, cool, dry.

Mods:
ARC FMIC
ARC intake
Cobb downpipe
Cobb HFC
Greddy Ti-C
Forge WGA
GM 3-port boost solenoid

Car is making roughly 311tq @ 3500 and 304whp @ 7000 at 26psi on a Mustang 500SE dyno.

My best run of the night was a 13.1 @ 107, but I can't seem to find that time slip :duh:. So, here is my second best, 13.2 @ 106. The only difference between the two runs is on the 13.1 run I let the car shift into 2nd and 3rd in auto and then switched it to manual for 4th and 5th. I kept hitting the rev limited going into 2nd shifting on my own. The reason I changed it to manual is to get as close to redline as I could going into 4th and 5th, especially into 5th to get the highest trap.

I was hoping for a better time, but I think there are a few factors. One, the track was prepped "okay". Two, although my 19 inch RE30's weigh only 20lbs, I am running 285/30 Toyos all around which weight a hell of a lot more than stock 18 inch tires. I am also 6'3, 240lbs :bowlol: I also noticed that the longer I stay in "launch mode" the more boost the car builds and the harder the launch.

Overall I am very pleased. On a side note, I pull 1.5 cars on my friend's e92 M3 from 50-100 on the highway. The car is amazing on the street, but unfortunately not set up for drag.

GT3076, cams, UICP, Exhaust manifold, ETS downpipe with open dump coming soon :godance:

Another side note: the car on the left is a stock Evo IX (at least I'm pretty sure he's stock).

very well done! I think you definitely can do better with a better launch! ;)

What mode did you launch your car in? I hear snow mode is the best!

nice run the 19's are killing you

Sorry, forgot to mention that. I launched in both Gravel and Snow. This was my best 60'. I just couldn't get it under 2.0. I was pretty consistent with my launch...all of them were 2.0X. Gravel and snow both yielded pretty much the same 60'.

nice run the 19's are killing you

Not as much as you'd think. The 19 inch RE30's only weigh 20lbs and my overall diameter is only .05% bigger. My guess is the weight of the 285's is holding me back.

Also, just to add...I launched the car a total of 8 times within 2 hours. My last 4 runs before the 13.1 were consistent 13.2's with 2.0X 60'. No overheating issues, no slowdown message; it held up very well!

Epping sucks dude, theres no doubt about it but this is the best time of year to run.

It wasn't that bad actually. The left lane was kind of f'ed up, but the right was pretty good. My best times came after the 20 minute break they had. I think they actually prepped the track :bowlol:

man you could easily be running upper 12's if you could work on that 60 foot time!!!
I have close to the same setup as you and I have gotten 60foot times of 1.897 which would bring you damn close to 12's

:+1: But there's only so much I can do. Launch control is launch control; there's nothing special about it. I may put on the stock 18's before the season is over and see if the 19's are hurting me that much (although mathematically they shouldn't be).

not to flame, but is it true the GSR w/ the same power/mods would run a better time because it is capible of a better launch?

nice numbers

Correct, as well as longer gears due to the 5 speed and less weight.

I have to get my ass up there I miss my track

put back the stock rubber. what is the stock 1/4 mile.

GSR can launch way way harder than the SST

What tune are you running?

What tune are you running?

Cobb Pro-tuned

When I went to the track in my MR, I found out that if I shifted into 2nd and 3rd gear at 6000 grand....I got it down to a 12.98 @ 110 mph with 18's. And if your running 19's....thats def. hurting you. The best time I got with 19's was a 13.45 at 107

Since you have the stock twin scroll turbo, your at full hp and tq much lower than 7 k, so there's no need to rev it out that high. It's better just to get it into the next gear if your power curve is droping. Try that next time, see if it helps

Cant wait for the bigger upgrades

Get those 60's down to 1.8 or less, and you will be in business.

My power doesn't start to drop until 7k and even then it's not much. The lower power plus gear multiplication of the current gear is better than slightly higher power but less gear multiplication in the higher gear. Make sense? lol My tq does take a gradual dive at about 5k though haha.

Also, I'm curious as to how the 19's hurt me. They weigh the same as stock BBS's and the overall diameter is almost the same. The only thing I can think of is the tires weigh more.

well done mate!! just your 60 ftrs down and moar power!! ;)

Agreed...i believe the general rule of thumb is 1/10th off of 60' = 2/10th off the ET, which would put me at mid-high 12s, which is more like it for a 107 trap.

But the question is....how? I'm not going to put on the OEM 18's for the drag cause quite frankly I don't care lol. I drive on the street with the 19s so I want to run on the 19's. Aside from that, my launches are very consistent 2.0's...unless I'm doing something wrong...but I don't see what lol.

You just need more power. I used to do 1.8's and run 12.6@ a high 108. You are there, but you just need a little more.

Indeed lol. I am making 304/311 on a Mustang which should be around a 109 trap and mid 12's...This would be the case for a GSR, but because of the SST, I just don't seem to make enough to get the car off the line to net < 2.0 60'. I'm done dragging with the stock turbo, though. Next time I go to the track it will be with a GT3076 and supporting mods :thumbup:

I'm actually considering getting a boost gauge though and see how much boost I build during launch. Very curious. Defi's willl be here soon so I may give it one last shot to experiment.

I saw your thread about the 12.6....I was in awe. I was knocking up top so the tuner had to pull some timing and my hp isn't as high as it should be as well as playing with MIVEC down low due to too much tq. I know the car is making power...enough power...just doesn't seem to show on the strip :(

Ok, thought this was on a DJ, then yea you are ballpark what I was making at that time. Def swap out to the 18's and see how you do.

Be careful with the 3076R, You need a lot of supporting mods to get it to flow good, But once you get that out of the way you should be good.

The 3076r will net you a slower 60 ft too haha.

Great times and wonderful plans for the future. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

My thoughts exactly...it just didn't add up. I may have to put the 18's on just to test it out...it's eating away at me haha.

Yeah, so I've heard about the 3076. I've been following hiboost and his setup. I believe he ran 11.7 with 380whp and 320tq or so, but in a GSR. I may end up with a different turbo, but so far that is the plan. Either way, new turbo coming during the winter :thumbup:
