Well, its been done. I ran my bone stock 94 for the first time last night. I was hoping for better results, but all in all, it was respectable. best e.t. 15.07 @ 94.48 mph. At least I spanked a new Mustang GT at the line in round one, and sent him packing, even though he had a quicker car. My last pass, I red-lit, so I ran it out the back door, hoping for a 14 second time slip(cooler air, cooler motor), but I think the car lost most of its e.t. at the fist 60 feet. It spun so bad, I slowed down from a 2.248 60ft time, to a 2.480 60ft. time. 2/tenths slower, yet ran a 15.12, so I think it might have given me a 14.98 which was my goal. Oh well, Thanks to Johnaec for showing up. I also met Brian, from the ford vs chevy web forum with a Mark VII that has the 5-speed conversion, the ram air hood scoop, and Cobra R rims. Super nice guy. It was fun...I was in street trim, 1/4 tank of gas, some crap in the trunk, and 30 psi in rear tires, so if traction was a bit better, the 14's would be realistic.

to view a very short clip, and 3 of the 4 time slips(not in chron. order). or www.markviii.org/~blackicelsc/marktimeslip (dialup warning) the one with the smiley faces was first round against a Mustang GT, and I treed him, so I hit the brakes.
BTW, best results were: launch in Drive, slight load on motor(900-1000 rpm), T/C off, O/D off, AIR SUSP. ON,
