NOTE - All 1/8-to-1/4 times that have been converted are marked with a "C".

Submit your claim in a reply with photo proof of the timeslip. We need 60', 1/8 plus MPH, 1/4 plus MPH, and track at a bare minimum. Also the mods to your car, and weather conditions (at least air temp). I'll update the list constantly. I think at the end of the year I'll do some awards for the "Best of's" in 2007. For the sake of getting it off of the ground, I'll take any 2006 slips to start off and establish some baselines. My "agenda" for doing this is that if things workout, Aerobird Motorsports should be renting Portland International Raceway for a day for a TBird/Cougar showdown, car show, and BBQ. Some come on, I expect a few slips by the end of today from last year!

Some of us only race 1/8" mi....

But to make it official, the TC will be getting a 331 in the next couple of months.... Maybe I'll make a trek to VMP for a 1/4 mi time run...

i nominate myself into the newly-created Biggest P.O.S. category.:P

I could do an 1/8 mile list too, but it would rock to have your 1/4's after the 331 anyways :D

After I get my GT-40 headed HO swap done and break it in I'll get you some numbers :D

Well if I can get my car done in time this year and if I make it to a track, it should put up some decent numbers.

ported GT40p heads
ported Explorer intake
E-303 cam w/ RR's
T-5
3.55's

It better run low 13's or I'll be pissed

It might not quite count as a tow vehicle but I'm pretty sure I'll be driving a Srt-10 Ram by spring/summer. I'm Getting rid of the Titan, it would be nice to run it at the track first, though. My friend with the Srt-10 and I are trading so he would probably go there with me anyways

3100# race weight
125 wet shot
fms pulleys
3.55 gears
8.8" w/ 31-spline t-lok
T5
b&M shifter
FMS HD clutch
MAC cold air intake
Mass Air conversion
A9L
19# injectors
HO upper manifold w/ T/B & EGR
autologic chip
stock mustang headers
O/R summit h-pipe
2-chambered flows

Is that run with the nitrous? I'll add you to the list!

yes, i found a better 60' on another slip though.

There you go, you're #1! :D:D

:headbang:

Does that mean EVERYONE else is tied for 2ed?

pretty much right no, but 5oh's still #1!

Well, this spring I'll stick mine on the track for shiznits and giggles. And would the Vic' cound under tow vehicle/station wagon?

After I get the sub-frames in, She'll take a run at Atco come springtime (the Mustang will be force-fed then and will see a 1320 trip too).

If you bolt a tow hitch to the Stang, we'll count it as a tow vehicle :hick:

I dont have any time slips "still" hanging around :( but i know my 60' et and mph

These are before the rodlites,and having fuel probs,old fuel pump.
So now there is no tie for 2nd,its 1bdbird. Racing in november,ran faster but cant find slip. Will have 12sec ones come spring.Then maybe I will be #1 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we can believe you Sleeper ;)

List Updated :D

Come on people lets see some ET's. I know I'll get bumped from second real soon.

If I was just a little more organized I would be able to find my timeslips.....

Jim

I have slips for 3 of my no-longer-owned TC's and some from Layla from 2005. I'm missing half of my 2006's which I assume are with my other old slips. Just have to get new ones this year! :D

WTF?  Where's AndrewBeetle, and the guy with the Novi2000 blown Blue T-bird.  ThunderHawk I think his name is?

Ok, I'm in...not my best slip, but it's a start
87 Turbo Coupe
5.0 from Explorer(all stock)
t5
3.55 gears(stock)
275/40-17 Nitto Drag Radials w/17x9 Cobras all around
Full 8pt mild steel rollbar

Not a light car

I'm assuming thats before the 306/Vortech right? Your added in!

too bad stock gto's arent allowed you would be #1 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know ;)

Erica Ortiz is probably #1.
(http://www.promodfullthrottle.com/images/erica_ortiz1.jpg)
I think it runs high 6's or low 7's.  IIRC its a Pro 5.0 car.

Yeah I think 6.80's or something like that? "Look at the pair of (?) on that one." LOL

That car is BAD@$$!! I subscribe to MM&FF just waiting for a feature on it. I know it's an ex Pro Stocker but she REALLY had it updated. I think it's 6-second legal now. A VERY nice car.

them are some good numbers, to bad i won't have a fox to run, cause ill be drag racing a lot in the summer, already got 3 people in line to get there asses kicked, god  kids think chevys and pontiacs rule

Pontiac over Chevy anyday,thats in my book anyway. Then after Poncho Power is Mopar POwer. Remember Pee-Wee Herman wore a
BOW-TIE  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I want to get really serious, the AMX will race :evil:

this kid just got a pontiac gta stock 350, says he'll bloiw the doors off my stang, with 351w. I told him good luck, only place hes gonna get me is off the line the 66 suspension is laking in traction lol, but with the 4.10's and 5 speed, it does 90 in 3rd no problem

why isn't fastcat on there

He never posted. PM him.

I'm trying to finish my aeromotive fuel system and install my cage in the car so i can get to the track hopefully i will be able to give fast cat an ass whoopin    ha ha ha ha   
no offense greg

Maybe someday I'll actually get to a track?

By the time anyone else posts ET's i'll be #1 again. Maybe some shiznit talkin will Git Er Done.

I'll have to find the time slip. It should be in the old car.
 Here is the info. Take it for what it is. I'll find the proof if needed.

 fastcat  3660 lb car  Fall @ Beech Bend Raceway( Bowling Green Ky)
  Temp 70  degrees Humidity 80%,  I'll have to find slip to find out 1/8 mile times
 
 1.68  60ft time  Foot brake
 
 
 10.90  1/4 mile E.T.
 126.5  1/4 Mile MPH
 351W /T70 turbo/AOD/3.27 gears
 

 The car was driven 62 miles to the track and driven 62 miles home. This run was on slicks.

Yeah Buddy,turbo cars love a higher gear 3.27,3.55. They stay in the boost longer that way. I know a kid here in Wichita that has a 96 cobra with 70mm turbo,5spd,3.55 and runs about what you run
10.90's at 130 sumthing. Its awsome to watch them take off with the tires chattering when the boost really comes in,he has to let out of it most of the time because the track sucks.But your #1 in my book. I say post him on the list!!

We have a NEW #1!!!

:D:D:D

I guessed on the year so if I could have some more info please fastcat? Year, trim (LS, XR7, GS) and if you could find the slip so I could get the 3rd digits on all the times that would rock. Enjoy being #1.

OK, you guys got fastcat in, now what about everybody else? I know of a Red supercharged Coug that hit 11's, and a white XR7 with a blower. And what about 83-86tbirdguy, he drag races all 4 of his cars. Come on guys, spit em all out!

It's been awhile but here's mine... 12.23 on 225/50/16 Nitto DRs with a 85 shot of the happy juice. Best on the motor is 13.11@105.3 on 225/50/16 Michelin radials... I've never equaled that 1.900 NA 60ft... Guessing they slipped just enough to get up on the converter a bit harder...

Haven't been on a 1/4mi track lately, but it ran quicker 1/8mi times than 8.42 last spring(1/8 mi on the 13.11 run). Went 8.40 on a slower 60ft(1.93 I believe) but ran 83.xx, unfortunately I don't seem to have those slips..

Added! Get a new one with the 331 these season ;)

There's a black SC Cougar too, where are these guys?

In the 2.3 class can i submit a mustang with Turbocoupe drivetrain,or is that not cool. Let me know and I'll get a slip posted.

Fox TBIRD and COUGAR forums. That would be a tow vehicle if you have a pic of it towing a trailer with a Bird/Cat on it... ;)

And stangs with TC guts just aren't cool period. WAAAYYY too many NICE TC's died for some rusty py notch in the last 5 years.

that mean im gonna get yelled at for pulling the motor from mine for a ranger?

You bet your @$$!!

but the frame rail is rotted, the trans has been taken out, and has considerable rot in the floor, other wise id be fixing it, its just to far gone, but that motor is not going in a fox stang so don't worry

Id say I hit a nerve there,the car I used was fn trashed.Had probably
100k miles on dirt roads,massive hail dents,paint was fading and peeling off,the pass floor was soaked from the fornicateed weather strip,pretty much coolant and water,then when I drove it home the abs didnt work,and when I held the brakes too long the wiring under the dash fried.What else did I leave out,oh I put the frontend on my car 87 t-bird,sold the rear to a guy for a cougar,engine,harness,vam,tranny,rad,electric fans,went to stang,still have doors,driveshaft,trim pieces,and rear glass.
It was like a organ donor.

If the car's rotted/totaled it's rotted/totaled. That's OK. It's the nice cars, the fixable cars, that bug the snot out of me.

On another note, fastcat's time is staying at #1. Since he's reusing the engine, tranny, rear end, front and rear suspension, air-ride, and othe stuff in #2 it's basically the same car only with a cage and no rust. Until #2 goes faster, #1 is #1.

BDBIRD and daboss, find me more members with slips, I can't PM them all!

That is all.

i got fastcat up, ill see if i can't find more. And im a 16 year old car nut, id NEVER butcher a good car, especially not a ford, maybe a import but def not a ford.

Weird - I didn't see this post until Michael pointed me to it :hick:

Awesome! I remember when you did that. Just to clarify, I used a different 1/8 to 1/4 calculator so I could get MPH too, and I will use it on anybody with only 1/8 times (so the calculations are consistant). (TurboCoupe50, if you have some better 1/8's post them up and I'll calculate). I do need to know what tranny you had behind the 429.

Calculator here: http://www.wallaceracing.com/8th-quarter.php

This is my last full throttle pass with me driving the Gray 83 Bird. April 2006. The next pass I won the big one. First points race of the year. Points, cash and a 3 ft trophy. This is my wife's bracket racer. She let me drive it that night because my 84 lo-po Bird wasn't ready yet. THIS IS NOT THE QUICKEST PASS IN THE GRAY BIRD. (See below).It is the only timeslip I could find. It auto-shifts at 4250 rpm. LO-PO vintage 1977 460, small cam, cast iron exhaust manifolds, 600 Carter, 3.73 gears, 28 inch rears, stock 77 police car C-6. Very stock, very strong, and very consistent! I really love this car!! I have lost count of the number of wins and r/ups since April 1997.  Best et with manual shifting at 4500 rpm (it has stock 1977 rod bolts and valve spings after all) it ran a 8.60 at 82.8 mph. Car weighs 3550 with me in it. --

Thank you!

We now have a TOP 10!

Any slips on any of the other Birds there 83-88TBird Guy? :D

This is my 84 Slow-Bird. It has E6 py heads, Lincoln Town Car (86-90 ?) P.O.C. engine that shifts at 4200 (because that is where it runs out of breath). It has 3.45 rear gears, stock A.O.D., Carter 600, stock 84 Mustang H.O. intake, duraspark dist. with a  GM H.E.I. ignition module, MSD Blaster 2 coil, Stock H.O. Stainless headers, H-Pipe. The car is very reliable but not as predictable to dial in and therefore has cost me several late reces. But I have learned to race (and win) as well as loose in a slow car!!    THIS TIMESLIP SHOWS WHAT HAS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE IN MY LIFE--IDENTICAL PACKAGES AND THE COMPUTER TOOK IT OUT TO THE 1/10000 OF A SECOND!!!!  The first time happened around 2000 or 2001.  Ironically, both runs were against the reigning track champion!!  This car was bought from a local charity organization with antifreeze in the oil pan for $ 280.00. One of the greatest buys for me yet. I love this car also, but not nearly as much as the Gray Bird or T. Coupe.

Nice slip! That's an awfully high MPH for the ET, what's this car's best?

Taken the 83 Heritage or the 460 TC yet?

Birdman, the mph looks weird because the chin spoiler got the beam. (It took me years to learn that trick) I normally run 68 -69 mph with this car.  The 87 T.C. has not been to the track yet.  The 83 Heritage is waiting her turn with my wrenches. Haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking 351W for it.:D

Thanks again!

I updated the MPH for the 84 to reflect a 69.00 1/8 MPH. Make sure you submit new ones when you go out again this year. ;)

i threw out last years time slips when i cleaned, so this is all i can find. my last post, im pretty sure i made it to the track again after this, but it may not have been the tbird i was driving...

Excellent! :D I knew my poor little Nissan wouldn't last long as #1. :P

I honestly don't think anybody cares about the tow vehicle section. If nobody chimes in to save it by tommorow I'm deleting it.

Are you using a calculator to convert 1/8's to 1/4's?

It's an 1/8 to 1/4 program. Why, do you have a better 1/8? :D

Not all of our members have access to a 1/4 mile facility, so I use 1 standarized system to get everybody in on equal footing.

Is it spring yet.Got the engine to the machine shop for .040,
alignhone,balance,new pistons weigh 60grams or so less than other ones. So thus I had to balance the rotating assembly.Heads are getting 3angle.studs,guideplates,roller rocker,roller cam, custom grind
for more duration on exaust,because of huge intake valves.
Going to get converter figured out next,then I will be at the top of the list again. Until then remember,WINTER FKN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread has been dead for a week!!

Start PM'ing people off of their butts! I sent out 75 PM's and got 7-8 replies. Of course, it IS off season. Racing up here starts in 2 weeks :D
Too bad Layla is still headless :hick: Good thing we bought more TC's :D And the truck needs to go again, I haven't beat on it enough!

I am wanting to hold off on my times, in hopes of getting a little faster slip here soon... But I will submit something here...

Good! :D

just wanted to repost my previous just to show that I am at least in the top 3 cars. I am a frickin sailor so unfortunately I cannot read, view and or post when I feel froggy. The dragstrip closed on OAHU in the past year so I cannot best my times, but it just gives me time to make it all right. (no rat nest wiring, lose weight, port the heads) I would like to throw my hat in the ring for a top 3 spot and will back it up. here is my old post which gives the run down. Read the whole thing to get the jist, Enjoy....

Added to the Top 25 List, #2 Overall, #2 Power Adder, #1 60'!!!!!

My dad and I plan to go to Farmington dragway this summer and try out my Tbird w/302 HO vs his 85 Trans Am 305; I'll post here when we do :) .  So what kinda times should I expect with an HO and AOD tranny (with the manual tranny mustang computer)?

Anybody coming to Pinks All Out at Rockingham dragway April 6-7th?  Looks like some of our members could be contenders :D .

Mid to high 15's depending on "tune" and weather.

It took 12 hours to get the fox TBird/Cougar registry as big as the drag strip list. *sigh*

Guess it IS off-season though, we start SOON!!

18.326@71.83, 2.41 60' for the NISMO tonight. Slow tow vehicles FTW. 60' is better then bhazard's though :hick:

Im reviving this thread because I dont want it to die, lol.

And your 4x4 can go... climb a rock or something.

I would love to get back to the track, but we have been having February weather in April. In fact it was 10 degrees warmer on Christmas than it is right now. I also really want to get a new fuel pump in before I get to the track. Premium being $3.02 a gallon at the cheapest doesnt help either, being that I need at least half a tank of gas to launch hard without the car dying.

My 4x4 is towing a TBird home in 10 minutes :P

Is that the Tbird that climbed a rock? :hick:

Yep :hick:

Mike:

I ran my 87 TC 460 Sat. Night.

Hey, I'm not last anymore!!! :D :hick:

Added you in turb0coupe88, sorry I didn't see your reply earlier :hick:

We now have a TOP 20!!!!

Man I wanna get back up to the track so bad. This gas thing is just killing it though. Probably close to $40 for a half a tank of premium and $20 to race, then probably another $20 in gas just to get back home and have gas in the tank to drive on. It just aint happening :(

The car needs some maintenance item taken care of too... Its about due for an oil change, and needs a tuneup as well.

Top 21 busy weekend! New #1 in TC class :D

Here is my slip for record

Updated and thanks.

Top 22 now! Added John's 88TC at #18.

Updated to a Top 23 now thanks to kingcars ;)

GO RACING!!!

Wooot!  19th outta 23!  :D

wooohooo  Im 15th overall :hick:  not for long though.;)

But um aerobird, my Bird is an '88. :) thanks.

Fixed ;)

im itching for that #1 T/C spot ;)

I need to run my 3.8s. Even a 20+ second 1/4 = teh winz!1!!1!

Gonna have to fight me for it Sleeper! :hick: Depends which one of us makes it to the track first ;)

i saw on Fila's my space page he ran a 14.2.

maybe he could post up the slip for the list.

Bwahahahaaa!! That's awesome :D:D:D

:hick:

I would have been going tomorrow, but I'm stuck up here. Luckily things are looking up for John.

lol:D  you will probly make it first but then i will soon follow;)

8 days hopefully :hick:

I went to the track today. I hate even posting my numbers, but I will anyway. I'm still not really use to the car since I don't drive it much. I still need to take care of the brake issue, and 2nd grinds a little because of the synchro going. I'll try to get the slip posted asap, hopefully this week at work. Anyway, the car SHOULD be in the 13's, but I need to learn how to hook up the tires. I won't run slicks, I consider that a bit of cheating, jus my opinion, I think if you can do it at the track, you should be capable of doing it on the street (No, I might play a little, but I would not race on the street, it's just crazy). Just a stupid rule (no slicks) I've had for myself. Ok, ok...Here are my AWFUL #'s for 265 hp at the rear wheels car: Oh yea, I'm street legal w/modded 302. No adders.
60 foot - 2.316
1/4 - 15.249
mph - 89.97
I actualy let someone else drive to see if they could do any better, and they did not. So.....maybe......I need to buy a pair of drag radials next time. Sure would have helped ALLOT. Yes, it was a bit depressing after being SO EXCITED at the chance just to go. I know, quit whinning and buy some slicks. Yes, I am considering that for the future also.

I should have ran my truck just for fun. I will next time. I also forgot. 5.0 HO w/T-5 on 16' stock v-6 05' mustang radials.

Added! Woo-hoo, Top 24 now!!!

thanks Aerobird. I'm gonna have to buy some used slicks or DR's for next time. I figure i may be able to bring it down another second, hopefully.

Your MPH doesn't indicate it. That MPH is right on the money for a 15.0/14.9 if you can get at least a 2.1 60'. I honestly don't think DR's will help unless your really spinning a TON down the track which messed with your MPH. (The GTO will do 14.0's @100 with tire spin, 13.3's @108 with a good launch)

My Gawd... with 108 mph you should be deep in the 12's... My 13.3s are at 103.5-104...

IRS SUCKS for drag racing. And 245/45/17 BFG KDW's aren't big enough either. Every LS2 stock GTO I've ever seen with NO MODS at all except DR's cracks off 12.6's-12.8's with a decent driver.

The very next set of mods is wheels/tires. 245/45/17 KDW II fronts, 275/40/17 KDW II rears on 17" AR TTII (with painted centers) OR Vintage 40's depending on $$$. The brakes are going out from the 100+ drag passes and 33K miles of DDing so they will be done at the same time.

I imagine simply upsizing to the 275's and having the stickier tire will help immensely, and possibly crack 12's in full street trim. We also have the Hurst shifter on order, and a K&N in the car now. Depending on how the 275's do, we'll go "drag race mode" and pull the spare/jack/insulation/skidplates/spoiler/floormats and dump the airbox and headlight to go for the magic #.

Can I forward e-mail you the time slip? I don't why, but it comes up as a jumble when I forwarded it from work.

Yup.

put me down for a 14.20 @101 in the 1/4

went a 9.080@81.66 in the 1/8th

with clutch problems on low boost 2.3T

Added! #11 Overall (#6 too with the same car :hick: ) and the new #1 TC!

We also now have an OFFICIAL Top 25 Overall! Now people get bumped :D

Can I enter the Wife's Grand Marquis in the Tow Class???

It towed our asses down to the track and back... :hick:

Does it have a hitch? Then yes ;)

I was going to delete that class since nobody cared.

No hitch... :(  I'll run the Lightning one of these weekends...

Possibly you could change that class to other FORD vehicles owned by board members... Have maybe a top 10??? And maybe a top 10 brand X???

Hrmm...

That's a good idea.

Top 10 non-fox TBird/Cougars (MN12 cars, 55-79 Birds/Cats, Rustangs, Lightnings, etc)

Top 10 "other" member cars (LS1 Firebirds, Blazer 4x4's, puppies Wagon's, etc.)

What's do the members think???

:rollin:

ROFLMAO...

:rollin:

Hehehehe :D

Sorry Carm, couldn't resist :hick:

I think I have to say this.

Im not in love with the idea of converting an 1/8th timeslip to a 1/4 and using that...

Simply because its not that accurate.

I ran my 1/8th ET and MPH through your calculator and...

Your 1/4 Mile ET is 15.84 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 10.1533 seconds.
Your 1/4 Mile MPH is 90.28 MPH computed from your vehicle 1/8th MPH of 72.81 MPH.

The calculated ET is a whole .4 seconds slower, and the MPH is 2 mph lower than my actual 1/4 numbers.

At LEAST note next to the entry that it was a calculated 1/4 ET and MPH.

Or have a separate list for 1/8th mile runners.

Just my opinion. This has been bugging me for a while now though. I just feel that you shouldn't be on the top 25 1/4 mile runners list if you haven't actually run a 1/4 mile.

Hmmm...

Might need another poll...

My vote is use it... Its an acceptable sub till you can get a real 1/4 run... Most conversions are generally slower than actual times, because they are set up using better prepared cars than the average street vehicle... Mine said 13.19@102...

With this info you get a idea how shiznitty your 60ft times really are, as compared to optimum... Which ain't always possible(practical) for a daily driver...

does the state troopers radar count?

Could you add the 1/8 mile times also and just leave off the 1/4 for folks who don't have it.
TED

3 new times for tonight ;)

Ted's Caddy-Bird went at least a 13.632@102.50 (fastest slip I have for him) for 10th Overall and 4th in Big Block. I even ran a 13.9@101 myself in it ;) Ted even got 2.0 60's!

Jim's 100% stock 5.0 SO Bird went 17.50@78 for last, but it was very consistent and looks great going down the track.

Layla went 15.252@90.89 for 18th (19th with Ted in there) just .01 behind yellowcougar. Good for 4th on the TC list ;) John ran twice and got a 15.60 with her too. 2.353 60' is good for 22nd. We had a LOT of wheelspin :D:D Got some nice photos hazing the tires down to the 330' :D

Timeslips and updates up in the morning ;)

Fuzzy pic, but we have the slips and witnesses ;)

Ted's CaddyBird -
60' - 1.893
1/8 - 8.451@83.11
1/4 - 13.185@103.97

Ted's CaddyBird with me driving -

1/4 - 13.323@102.85

John's GTO -
60' - 1.988
1/8 - 8.494@84.84
1/4 - 13.098@106.91

Layla -
60' - 2.353
1/8 - 9.822@71.67
1/4 - 15.252@90.89

Jim went a 17.50@78 but he has all of his slips. Hopefully we'll get a pic from him soon ;)

Ted also has about 35 slips floating around, so a better 1/8, 60', and MPH are all possibilities. Not to mention a clearer shot of the 13.185! :hick:

See THIS thread:

List Updated! :D

I added Ted's Bird, John's GTO, and Layla plus the Other Ford class and the Brand-X class. All the 1/8 converts have been marked with a "C" too. Added 83-88 TBird Guy's Lightning as well. 3 guys got bumped including me! :hick:

got another to add

87 cougar 302 h.O

15.83 1/4

86.35 mph 


is what this converts to

Added ;)

It wasnt on any sticky tires  just 28" tall 275/60/15 turbo techs;)

hence "tires" instead of DR's or what not :hick:

I still don't understand how it's so much faster then Jim's stock SO TBird. What exactly has been done?

With no knowlage of Jim, could Russ just be a better driver? Maybe he tree'd  better or just the difference of an HO to an SO?

The difference would be the H.O.'s 70 HP advantage at the flywheel.

The tree has nothing to do with the e.t. PLus russ has a big advantage it's a thunder cat!:D

Its a h.o swap

no tricks no bumped timing etc...

How did I miss that? :hick: That will make Jim happy, 2 seconds just from an HO swap ;)

$hit, bumped off the list. That just aint in the cards :mad:
 Michael, please remove t.birdsc aka: slopoke from the power adder section. It is embarassing :toilet: I vote if someone doesn't make the main top 25 list they should not be in the other list. It doesn't seem right.

No, the other lists stay. How else will the V6's cars know where they stand? Or TC's for that matter?

Only the "Overall" will stay at 25. All the individual lists will be rung out as long as we have members entering them.

I agree 100%

Why did we get rid of the tow/truck section?

It became the "Other Ford" section and the "Brand X" section.

Added 87BlueBird to the 6-cyl section.

Sluggo added. New #6 Overall, #4 60', and #1 TC!!

Fixed :hick:

:punchballs:  must get to the trackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 


lol j/k:D

I added 347Thunder to our Top 25 List. He's the new #1 Overall n/a small block, #9 60' time, and #5 OVERALL!

I need to fix my brakes, buy some DR's and go back before I get bumped off the top 25. OUCH!

Updated Ted (Cad-T-Bird).

Here is the wife slip from a few weeks ago...

Totally stock '93 Grand Marqis.. OK it has a B&M electronic shift improver(so the trans won't slip like a mofookie...

Won it on a hole shot... LOL

Mods at the time of the run were:

306ci, Windsor Jr heads, Comp cams NX264 cam, 24lb'ers, Explorer intake, 125 wet shot, AOD lockup converter, 3.73's, Nitto Drag radials, and a not so great tune.

Added! Check out the stats:

It takes a 12.10 to get into the Top 5, a 13.03 to get into the Top 10, a 13.83 for the Top 15, a 14.39 for the Top 20, and a 15.52 to make it in the 25 at all!

10's - 1
11's - 3
12's - 5
13's - 6
14's - 6
15's - 4

It takes a 1.82 60' for the Top 10 there!

Chrome302jr, great run
how did the nx264 cam run without the juice?
Was thinking of that cam for speed density also.
 Thanks,
 Mike

Depressing, down to #15.

The cam runs okay while not on the spray. Its been a few yrs back, but the reason I bought the cam was because of the wide lobe separation angle, I believe its 116. At the time I was running speed density, so I needed the wide LSA to give me vacuum. However, with 24lb injectors, the tune was too rich at idle and too lean at WOT with SD. I switched to a 75mm ProM MAF and the tune was much better. I tried to hold off switching to MAF as long as possible, but in the end lost. :D

If you plan to run the NX264HR cam with 19lb injectors on SD, I believe you will be okay. But dont plan to run 24lb injectors. Depending on what you setup is, 19lb injectors should be fine anyway. I think I could get away with running 19lb injectors, I've thought about switching back.

Thanks for the heads up on the cam. If speed density stays or goes it seems like it's good all around. Great info you have there.

no converter  and on hard street tires if you want to correct it

I thought you got a converter? Or was that V8Demon? Oops :hick:

Fixed :D

i think he meant converter as he used the 1/8-1/4 mile time converter.

No, I figured it out. He bought (or is trying to buy) a new converter for his C4 for the TC ;)

well dont look like there will ever be anymore times for the bird.

im boycotting the local track.

Whats the story there?

sat in the staging lanes for over 2 hrs,got to the line,cleaned the tires off and then the DQ'd me said i was leaking oil badly, SO i pulled off the track and spent 30 minutes looking for said leak that doesnt exsist, wouldnt refund my money (I made 0 passes) So i left pissed off. Next closest track is over an hour away and i dont have a trailer so no more racing for me guess ill take it back to tha skreet........

From Portland Meet #2 last night:

Best:

60' - 2.333
1/8 - 9.484@74.71
1/4 - 14.767@92.06

Backed that up with a:

60' - 2.243
1/8 - 9.526@74.12
1/4 - 14.872@90.56

Trying for better tonight, will update tomorrow. :D

hey you didnt update the top 25 with your new runs.

Hey man, I hope you read this post cause I gotta say:  your car is what first inspired me to stick with my Tbird and start making it go fast and look cool.  Back in the boring high school computer classrooms a few years ago, I happened to stumble upon your cardomain page and that's what started it all.  I showed all my friends and said "That's how my car will be."  Even the way I wanted my dual exhaust to look originated from when I saw that page.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/kingcars/cleanpic1.jpg)

Anyways, sorry to sound stupid or whatever, but I needed to give credit where credit is due.

Back on topic, it looks like I have some work to do.  I've been way bumped off the top 25 list.  Lame :toilet: .  I'm hoping my next few small upgrades (electric fan, underdrive pulleys, Explorer Intake, possibly some 3.27 gears, and a shift kit) will get me into low 15s.  High 14s is what I'm aiming to get with the car as it is now before I build the new engine many years down the road (hey, I can dream :hick: ).

Updated myself. Intimidator's V6 cat went 18.9, and Ted went 12.9, so I will be updating later when they post up. ;)

Yay! We have a new #1 in the V6 class! :D

I hope this comes out.  The one on the left has the best 60' (1.816) and the one on the right the best 1/4 mile 12.935@105.54.

Thanks Mike

TED

All that work Ted and you didn't even move up! :hick:

You gained 1 spot in the 60' list, still at #10 overall and #1 in BB/NA.

Yeah but he did move entry into the top 10 down to 12.92(OK 12.934)... No more 13 sec cars in the Top Ten...

Good point!!

13.49@106

omg, I'm almost off the top 25 list. If I get some extra money I could remedy that. Drag radials would definitely keep me there for a while, and take a half second off at least, but I think I will wait until next year. Thanks for taking care of this by the way Aerobird. I'm glad as I am sure allot of people are that someone is doing this. ;)

I'm almost off! :hick:

I need to get moving on the new project! ;)

I couldn't get a run in before they closed the track for the season :mad:

Do they really close the Dragstrips up there in the north ??????

Ours normally doesn't close until November (Portland International), but they closed 3 months early for a complete repaving ;)

I guess due to the snow and ice....maybe. I have only been in snow once and thought i was dyeing...LOL, down here 2 months of 34 F to 45 F . then spring time ...our local track is opened every friday, (test n tune) and saturday for race. $10.00 to watch, $20.00 to race.

I had allot of practice driving in the snow with allot of junky looking cars when I was MUCH younger. I like it that it tends to get rid of SOME of the terrible drivers, but a few very slow ones still seem to make it out. I've had two different years where I was the only rear wheel drive car to show up for work because of how bad it was. The yellwo 86' has seen allot.
Yes, most tracks up north close for the winter up here. Here's a few links if you want to see.

Track opens back up by me on April 19th. That's in 3 months. I'm hoping to have the intake and exhaust done and make a pass. I still have to run the darn thing:hick:

sweet,I can't wait untill I get back to the track I have been gettting my car for paint it will probably add like 50 horse with a fiberglass hood and smooth paint job! lol Then I will be putting my 4.33 gears in so I will hopefully be able to get some air and get closer to badbird's 11.60  that is fast.But I think it will be more like 11.80's if I am lucky

So, I'm an asshole now?  Interesting.

Not sure where you got that I "hated" you, but whatever you need to do.  I've always thought you to be a bit of a drama queen( This post is a prime example of that), and a bit excitable, but that's about it. That has been more amusing than anything. 

Do what you want Michael.  You're an adult and if you don't want to hang out here any more, for whatever reason, then just leave and leave it at that.

What the heck happened?  It goes straight from bhazard commenting on 60fts to P71 flipping out...what happened in between?  I've never seen the heads of the forum do anything out of line, but yet again, I dont get really involved in stuff for this reason.

About what I thought it would run. Not bad for a 4 door economy car with an automatic. Intercooler and proper intake and exhaust would help a lot I bet.

That's a pretty quick little bugger.

Best time with the old Cougar (all Black). The other car we put together for "Pinks AllOut" that didn't make it off the trailer.

 Took it to the local 1/8 mile track. Last night 
 Setup is a 420 CI Windsor  Carb with C4 with Trans brake, 4.10 gear
 The following runs were on a 275/60/15 M/T Drag Radial

1.54 60 ft    N/A          1.52    100 Shot
7.32  1/8                    6.95

My gf just ran the car again tonight. Her first time ever racing. Second pass, 15.33 at 88.72 mph. 2.36 60ft. wtfhow???!?!

It was a lot colder tonight than last month when I ran it, but still. Holy  I'm embarrassed.

Is anyone gonna take over updating this list? I was thinking of copy/pasting the whole list into a new thread and updating it from there, but I have a feeling I wouldnt be responsible enough to keep up on it.

was wondering that myself, because I'd be #2 on the turbobirds

Slopoke went to the track again for the 2nd time. :flame:  The car was run without the supercharger during this trip.  New mods were  Edelbrock intake, 70mm bbk throttle body, Kirban regulator, underdrive pullies, a different distributor, new cap, rotor, wires, and no air filter. Much to my suprise the vehicle ran a little faster. Run #1 the timing, iirc, may have been at 10 deg. and launched from a dead stop. Runs #2 and #3 were not as good during power brake launches. One time the track guy had to make me back up during staging because the car was creeping forward. Before #3's launch, the timing was advanced and it felt like it had more power out of the hole, but when it hit third it was knocking and losing power. #4 last run was a regular launch with the timing back down a bit. The next day the timing was found to be at around 16 deg. There is still much improvement to be made and I'll post a thread with some car and engine picks but none from the track. Btw, the weather was perfect!

Run #4

Is anyone gonna take over updating this list? I was thinking of copy/pasting the whole list into a new thread and updating it from there, but I have a feeling I wouldnt be responsible enough to keep up on it.



I will take over updating this list...As before send in copies of the time slips and I will adjust the list.

Here's my lastest numbers from Portland, the 12.2 is NA and the 11.4 is with a 150 hit.

TED

Got some better #'s on my TC last night.  12.81@111.

88 sport 347, n/a, AOD, street tires, stock gears

You back out of it on the 13.42 run??? MPH was only 94mph vs 101 on the other time slip... With the 2.01 short time and the mph from the other ticket, it should go a 13.20 easy... With some gears and converter it should run at least a 12.7...

I'm really surprised you didn't run alot quicker then you did.

Holy  Grut, nice run!

thanks guys, this was the first time out to the track and it only had 350 miles on it since i got it running. yeah i let up pretty bad, the fastest mph was actually 104 on another slower slip. i only had first and second, so second was pegged at about 6000-6500 towards the finish and thats about when i would let up. i had a real bad time with traction too. i got a feeling with slicks, 4.11 or 4.55's and all four gears, it should wake up even more :evilgrin: but yeah, im totally excited  :D

The Sport shall be on the list in 2010.

correct me if im wrong but overdrive generally isnt a gear you wanna make 12 second passes in.

For sure... O/D is a strict NO NO when racing...

You want enough rear gear so HP peaks in 3rd just before you hit the finish line...

12.940@107.96 with 1.713 60 foot on my 3rd pass on the 4th pass lost side axle on stock 8.8..5.0 trick flow top end kit..t5.with 4.10 and mt et streets 26/11.50/15

New slip. I need to learn how to not spin off the line :hick: I'm number 228.

You need some horsepower in a bottle.

We need a new one of these threads run by an actual active member...

I agree, things do not seem to get updated anymore, see post 570.  I think this was Mike Pinto's thread and maybe nobody else can modify the first post?

TED

Yesterday I did my best NA time of 11.909@116.5mph.  I picked up almost 7 mph and .4 faster.  I was a little disappointed with my 1.79 60' times but maybe I can work this out next week-end.

Very busy at the track in Seattle (Pacific Raceway) and I only got in two runs so I was not able to test with NOS yet this year.

But the Cadillac 500 felt very strong and I feel there more to find.

TED

Wow Ted!  7 MPH is a huge gain!  116 MPH should be good for 11.40's if you're able to get hooked up.  You've gotta be pleased with the results.  Congrats.

Haha when the car is done ill enter and see if I can break into that list!

I'm please with the first run of the year.  If the weather is good I will go down to Portland tomorrow night and try my luck there.  I have the NOS all figured out so it will work now (had a bad relay).  With the new front end I should be around a 1.6 in the 60' and I kind of need to figure this out NA first but this won't keep me from making at least one run with the NOS.  Last year I ran 11.45 with the 100 hit and with the new lower time NA I should be close to 10.

TED

Ted,

I hope you have good weather and can get some runs in to get it sorted out.  10's on the gas should be a given, providing it hooks.

A 1.6 60' time would be kinda slow on the gas (or even N/A).  What does your rear suspension consist of? 

Don't know if you're aware, Team Z does have rear suspension parts to fit a T-Bird.  His relocated upper's are a bit different and work exceptionally well.  If your interesed, it would be best to E-mail Dave, as I don't believe his website lists specifics for T-Birds.  A former member here (I believe it was BadBird) had all of Dave's stuff before he parted the car out.

I have his complete set up on my Mustang and am very pleased with the parts, service and performance.  None for my T-Bird though, that one goes around corners!

Went to Portland Last night. It was raining all day in Olympia but the weather in Portland looked good on the internet and I took a chance on the 100 mile drive.

The weather was cool, about 50, but dry. There were only about 50 or less cars there and the people were nice. I told the tech guy that I wanted a through check-out and he went over everything and only found that I should have put a little more padding on my roll bar down the side by my head. I put some on the top and side bar but they also want it to come down the side to the cross bar. All other items he said were perfect and he had no problems. Great to hear.

On the first run I was second in line behind a low 10 second Fox Mustang. I firgured he would call him and the car next to him so I did not have it started and warm. but he called the Mustang and the T-bird. I did a very nice burn out and but when I took off the line it bogged bad and I ended up with a 2.426 60' time, 12.568et but I still ran 115.45 mph so it took off good once it decided to go.

The second run (less than 10 minutes later) I did my burn out but went sideways again so it was not as good. But it did not bog and grabbed with a 60' of 1.666. My 1/8 was 7.558@92.44 and the quarter was 11.787 with 115.59. Much better run and the best I have done NA. It also raised quite a bit on the driver's side but not the right so I have so tuning to do to the rear suspension.

At the end of this run I looked down and I had zero oil pressure. Car sounded good and I thought maybe it was just a sending unit but I did not push it and did not get any more runs. I bet I could of had 20 plus runs this night if not for the bad luck.

Turns out my oil pick-up broke and it was lucky I shut it down and had a pressure gauge. I got if fixed today and can't wait to go again. One of these days I will turn on the gas.  There was no metal in the pan or the pump so I hope all is okay.

At least at 1.66 I'm getting there.

Nice job catching the low oil!  Glad to hear there was no damage.

An ARB may be the best addition to straighten out the launch.  With your fabrication skills, putting one in should be doable.

You're chasing down on last years best nitrous pass natually aspirated.  Pretty amazing, with no changes to the engine itself.  That's exciting stuff!

Go getem' Ted...

I'd like to see what it will run once you get the chassis sorted out...

Wish her luck if she goes.  :mullet:


Please no more Slopoke runs  :mad:          :punchballs: 


Lost the underdrives, but will add the exhaust, supercharger and drag rad. Maybe just maybe she might see 5 psi.



Looking to go low 14's or better ???  :burnout:

Anyone care to guesstimate?

I took the bird up to Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY on Saturday. Ran a best of 14.02@ 98mph. I was running 3.45 gears, 7.5 rear with trac lok, bald all season street tires, and about 7 pounds of boost on my stock SO motor with a Powerdyne blower. I have a TCI AOD with a 3000 stall converter. I had to launch very gently. Car has full interior, sub box, and trailer hitch.

A 2.0 60' is better than my best, which is 2.2, which sucks :hick:.

How do you launch and how were your tires? I'm surprised because I had to roll onto the throttle with my bald drift tires. I used my left foot to hold the brake while i tried to hold around 1300 rpm. Any more and it would get sideways and kill the times. The freshly rebuilt trac-lok must have helped. I have since bought a set of used drag radials on craigslist and am almost done converting from supercharged to a turbo. If its ready by saturday im gonna head back to the track. I really want those 13s!

One foot on the brake, one hovering over the gas, engine at idle. Third yellow comes on and I lift my left foot off the brake and slam my right foot to the floor. It usually results in wheel slippage/sideways action. This is on 225/55/16 Firestone Firehawks. I haven't run with the new heads yet (only with the GT40Ps) but I'm pretty sure they are going to make things worse. I'm hoping to get to the track next Friday night to find out :).

I used to use that same technique with similar results. You should try my new method. It seems to be working better.

No, no, no, not even on drag radials...

Even on street tire I roll through the water, burn them to dry and roll SLOWLY to the line to cool the tires and pickup some traction compound... When staged, I hold brake, bring the revs to around 1200-1500, release the brake on last yellow and roll into the throttle... How quickly will determine on multiple factors, you'll have to learn your car...

Using the above, I've pulled best of 1.87 with the Marauder on the factory BFGs and 1.89 - 1.91 are easy...

Spun bad on this run.. true street tire 255


 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGtL-zh8tPE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Thats pretty much how I was launching, but I drive around the water and skip the burnout when I'm on street tires.

was this the run from the time slip you posted?

No my friends didn't get that run on tape I went 14.20 on that run spinning bad

 New personal best 13.37@100 same set up as last time

Thats pretty quick on motor! I'm planning on going back next week. I put in a turbo and got some drag radials so i should hopefully be getting a new personal best too.

Ya I plan on spraying the car soon ... n putting the slicks on it.

Bryan163 keep us updated ... I always wanted to go turbo

Thats a pretty solid 60ft too. I'll let you know how it goes for me.

Agreed what converter do you have???

^^^ I forget who makes it or if its a 8inch or??? But its stall to about 3k on motor should pick up alot more wit the juice n slicks

Its 7:30am and I'm about to start my drive up to the track in NY. Should have some new times later. Fingers crossed for some mid 13s and for the car to make it there and back in one piece.

Good luck, beat her down!!!

x2

I went to test n tune last night unfortunately no new PB. They do very little to no prep. 13.71@101 with terrible 60ft

Lebanon is kind off a slow track too from what the pros tell me. I didn't get to run because a rain storm came through. Gonna tryagain next week.

No new personal best for me. Went back to the track running 14psi and wiped out my tranny on the first pass. Gonna try to grab a new one asap before the end of the season.

How did it die? No gears or blown inner input shaft?

It still works, but won't shift under very heavy acceleration. It also shutters sometimes when taking off from a stop. It was a TCI Streetfighter Trans and converter. Gonna try a different Trans builder this time. The new tranny im getting is rated for 700HP with a 2 year warranty. Not sure if I should spend the extra and replace the converter as well.

I would get a new converter. The old one is probably full of junk from the now dead AOD.

NEW PERSONAL BEST...

No changes to the car? Probably making more power now that the weather is getting cooler. Nice run.

No changes. Weather was 75° really wanna get that 12.99 pass than ill start making BIG changes. Anyone think its possible the way it is to get that 12.99 pass?

Went to the track earlier again new pb:13.17@103

well just got around to posting about going to the fun ford weekend at pbir, I made it to the semi finals took 3rd place and got knocked out by a 2011 5.0 with a f1 blower that ran 9.50's (ouch) and it was heads up racing. This was the first time I ever raced other then test and tune, it was tons of fun. I was running drag radials and it was wicked hot so the best time I could turn was 11.6@117 a few times the smaller tires lowered my mph but I can say the drag radials brought the wheel up off the ground(got it on tape)
these are two inside the car runs sorry for the profanity in the second one I thought with the wheel spin off the line that car beat me but that was the 9.50 car, I was caught up in the moment.lol

You are getting very close. Is there any weight you can remove?

I know for a fact if I stayed later I would've got that 12 second pass guess ill just try again next friday

Congrats 347thunder

Run 5w20 that will give u a little more rev, and make sure your timing us like 32-34*, and diet for 1 week

I run 5w20 timing not sure ill have to check it. Diet never was good at that lol.  Just really surprised how well it been running on motor wit a nitrous convertor. I would've never thought I would have this much fun going this slow lmao. I always seem to get a good laugh when people point or come up to me n say really why would u run this? They always come back after a run n say I surprised the hell out of them...

Bad day at the track,  started the day off over heating, plugs fouled, rpms wouldn't come up . Had to abort 5 of my 7 runs. Fuel tank has a bad leak according to track officials n something broke in rear I think, right tire is rubbing bad n clanking. :( just my luck. Best pass was 13.37@100

Nothing new guys? I only got a PB 60FT 1.84

Not gonna be anything new from me till spring. I got my new tranny in, but now the track is closed for the season :(

here is a pic of my 1st time slip getting in to the 10's with a 100 shot hitting it about 40' out(out side temp was in the upper 80's) i drove it 35 miles to the track and then stopped for icecream on the way home lol
  it's got a 347 mounted to a C4 with 4.10 gears in the rear and

Hell yeah man. That's how you do it!

from what i have read this dont get updated often?

No not really, but post your times and your set up.

Yeah, I'm still interested in seeing some time slips. the tracks in the the north are all closed for the winter, so its pretty slow right now. I can't wait till spring so I can see how my car does with my turbo and 5 speed swap.

 Hope it will be faster this year

9.08@156!!! You need a chute and a diaper! I hope to get to the track this Friday and get within 57mph of your mark:clown:.

I miss having a 1/4 mile ...... Stuck with 1/8th

I had no idea a tc could run so fast with so little

Thanks
First, I have to credit Marty Buth for tuning the car before I bought it.
I just bought it from him and took the stickers off and polished the wheels.

I was a bit surpised when it ran the 12.36 @ 106. I was expecting 12.50's, but the car was dead on that pass and I hit the shift points right on.

Here is a pic of that 12.36 pass:

Man o man I love that launch pic! Wheels up FTW!

What was the 60' on that run?

+1^^^  I'm going to the strip this weekend. I'll see if I can shoot some video.

Anything new? Ill be at Atco this Friday hopefully improve my time

Thanks !

60'  was a 1.623
330'  was 4.913
1/8th 7.760 @ 86.33
All of this @ 3290 lbs.

I'm going to attempt to set the P/SA record on Oct. 19th @ Indy.
I will take out 190 pounds, so I have to weigh at least 3098 lbs. with me in it.
The current P/SA record is 12.36 @ 107 mph, so if the weather is as good as it was in May, then the Bird should run under the 12.36.

Nice!

Might go out to irwindale tomorrow night if I get time ill regap the plugs and turn the boost up a little .... I don't think it will be impressive but what the hell

Still trying to decide if I want to run the ET streets I don't want to hook and bog off the line with no boost ... Anyone ever run slicks on a some what stock turbo coupe?

Well I was ready
