I'm not surprised that you aren't familiar with me, because I haven't posted on here in over 2 years. I forgot I had an account on here until recently.

I think your car is capable of at least really low 12's on drag radials, a more aggressive tune, and better suspension, maybe 11's with some practice(providing you haven't gone to the track much before). I've seen two 1/4 mile times from setups similar to yours, 12.1 and 11.78.

Actually, you may be able to pull off an 11 with your current setup, but with the more aggressive tune and DR's. There's only one way to find out.
I have experience with the track. My Lightning was my first track vehicle so shes seen alot of passes. And im sorry iof i confused you earlier. I was asking who the other fellow was with the similiar setup as me.

But like i stated, im in a safe tune as of now. Once i get LCAs and Antidquats put on this weekend and MT DRs and a few other things i will throw 100octane in and i cna mess with the timing and other options as well. For the track only though.

It's no problem . Well there are 2 guys with similar setups to you. One is an auto, and he has a CAI, Tune, Livernois Stage 2 Heads, Comp Stage 2 SPR cams, ARH LT's/Mufflers, Gears(4:10 or 4:30, I don't recall), I think UDP's/CMDP's, and minimal or no suspension mods- 12.13 @ 111, trap speed seems a few MPH low for those mods.

The other guy is manual and his performance mods are Livernois Stage 2 Heads, Comp Stage 2 SPR cams, Kooks LT's/Mufflers, Steeda Carbon Fiber CAI, Tune, 4:10 Gears, Steeda Race CMDP's, and Steeda UDP's, Spec Stg. 1 Clutch, Hurst Billet Shifter, BMR K-Member, Race A-Arms, LCA's, UCA, Relocation Brackets, and Adj. Panhard Bar(he has a few other mods too, but they don't count for better performance)- 11.78 @ 115


Oh I thought you already had the LCA's/Anti-Squats in. Well good luck running some nice times after you put them, the MT DR's, and those other little things on/in including 100 octane.

I think low 12's are pretty achievable with your combo. There's not many people to base this guess off of though, only those 2 guys.

Hey guys. I also forgot the mention.

While i was getting my install on the parts listed in this thread, I forgot to say my tuner came across a problem.

The seal for the oil pressure solenoid on the valve cover was broken! I couldnt believe i was running the car for so long with that issue.

I have a picture of the piece so ill have to post it up sometime today.

Thats a timing chain hydraulic tensioner and the seal probably didn't break till he took it off. Its a common deal. Ford reccomends the tensioners be replaced if they are removed.
