    1/4 mile time slip evaluation test...

    back half.. Yes... I read somewhere here, but cant find the posts after numerous searches... about guys looking at the 2nd half of the run to get a feel for power and what the run "could" have been if the 1st half was good. As I said, my launch was a joke, 60' was 2.21. I dont think my top...

    1/4 mile time slip evaluation test...

    1/4 mile times My car ran 11.95 at 133mph. I know the first 1/8 mile was horribe due to the start, so I was wondering if we could calculate the 2nd half quarter to figure out how it compared. My 1/8th mile was 8.17 at 99.58mph. We had a LOT of questions during our tuning and mod's, so Im...

    1/4 mile time slip evaluation test...

    Hey guys, im curious if anyone can help with a guess or conversion of a time slip to approx. rwhp. In other words, since we all know each dyno and tuner can vary drastically in results for numerous reasons, maybe the times the car ran are a better way to look at power. My BIG question IS since...

    First run at the strip report....

    1st gear..... Im just wondering how critical 1st gear was.... I know I didnt run it hard enough in 1st for fear of lighting the tires. I crawled off the line and quick shifted into 2nd probably around 5000 rpm. I still expected a higher mph at the traps. For the 1st ever run though, im not too...

    First run at the strip report....

    I only got ONE run since it was so darn crowded, so naturally the run wasnt too good. Worried that I would spin the tires, I over-compensated coming out of the hole and then rolling it on and shifting to 2nd. This worked to avoid wheel spin, but probably killed the time and speed in the qtr. I...

    Good news for Ford fans

    just read this; Ford stock fans... sorry....... Ford Motor Company sales for the month of June dropped 8 percent compared with sales during June 2006. Ford sales have gone down in 14 of the last 16 months. While the boycott isn’t totally responsible for the drop in sales, it has played a...

    What can a Ford Dealer do?

    blackice... I agree 100% with your testing idea... now all you need to is to get a bunch of guys together to all meet at a place and run. Of course you'll need some parameters, measurements, and criteria... then an electronic timing system of some kind to eliminate human error. The Texas mile...

    What can a Ford Dealer do?

    Rob.... The ONLY modification to the car that could be a factor would be the accufab exhaust in place of the stock muffler. As you know, this doesnt add power, just allows the car to run cooler and saves weight. The stock pulley and throttle body are on the car... the accufab was only used in...

    What can a Ford Dealer do?

    ok, i give up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok guys, thank you ALL for your time, comments and help. Im in agreement that the car makes decent power. Problem is, until another FGT is tested on the exact same dyno, we'll just never know how it compares. I only ask one thing now; How much boost do these cars...

    What can a Ford Dealer do?

    stock boost So if pulled from this correct spot, what are YOU seeing on stock FGT's ? Im seeing 11.9-12.0 on the cars Ive seen the dynos from, but I dont know where they pulled the boost from... Our car only shows 10.14 max...
