1/4 MILE TRACK
 

Hey guy/girls i need some help/advice on how to drag race.
I have a 2007 Mustang GT (5 speed) with bbk shorty headers , K&N air intake kit, 373 gears, Diablo sport predator,magnaflow off road X pipe and the SALEEN center exhaust wich is also magnaflow.
And my question is how come my best times are 14sec flat?
What am i doing wrong?:confused:

with those mods you should at least be in the low 13's or high 12's

drag radials or slicks would really help you out

What's your 60 foot?

Yeah i hope cause im driving on 275/40ZR18 103W REAR
and 255 in the front NITTO NT55

i dont remember i believe it was like 2.235

You just need to work on your launch and shifting fast. When it comes to drag racing you have to go and practice a lot. Checkout the drag strip sticky at the top of this section for tips at the track. Your car should go faster then 14's bone stock with a decent driver.

Thanks bro i havent gone in like 5 months cause i kind of got frustraded with the fact that i couldnt do better than 14 flat....
one more question im launching like at 32000 is that ok?

Well 32,000rpms could cause a few problems.

Try reving it to 3,000-3,500rpms on street tires and learn to let the clutch out slowly and smoothly while feathering the throttle to keep wheel spin at a min. A little wheel spin at first is ok as this will help to keep the car from bogging. However you don't want to sit there and smoke the tires. Every car is different so just go and experiment and see what works for your car.

What are you talking about! I'll buy him lunch if he can get his car to rev to 32k rpm!

LOL ja ja ja i ment 3200 rpm =)
