In your "going to strap it to a Mustang dyno" thread, I wrote this:
Based on the first calculator, your 260.5 hp at the rear wheels should be about 325 at the crank....that's a 45 hp gain from pulleys? hmmmm
if that is the case, you should run about a mid 13.50 @ 101-ish mph if the car weighs about 3850 + 200 lbs driver
Those are great times for a stock motor with nothing but pulleys. But no where near what the "on paper" would say. That's why we run 'em on the track, not on paper.
Well done! The 60 foots helped a ton...although you didnt like them, the best I could ever muster was a 2.2x - 2.4x in my stock-geared 94.
Like JP said....4.10's-4.30's and a better converter and you'll be 13's all day
did you manually shift and hold 1st and 2nd to 6000 and then click in to drive at about 1150 feet?
or did you leave it in DRIVE and let it shift itself?
when I ran a friend's 97 LSC with a chip and JMOD, it would shift in to third (when in drive) at about 1150 feet.
In my 94, it would shift in to third about 20 feet past the stripe,, depending on launch traction.
These cars are CRYING for gears....IF one wishes to 1/4 mile drag race them.
