Default 1988 Mustang LX 1/4 Mile With Videos

Hey guys,

Just made a personal best last night. On the videos you can see the left tire lift off the ground

Here is what it ran during the first pass:

60' ... 1.681
330' ... 4.762
1/8 ... 7.361
MPH ... 94.20
1000 ... 9.617
1/4 ... 11.536
MPH ... 117.06


Pedal braked it.

I ran it this time with the tires down to about 15 PSI.

Air temp at the time was around 71 F

Here's a link to the video on YouTube:



Here is what it ran during the second pass:

60' ... 1.597
330' ... 4.664
1/8 ... 7.243
MPH ... 94.80
1000 ... 9.488
1/4 ... 11.401
MPH ... 117.28


Again I still pedal braked it...no transbrake.

Here's a link to the video on YouTube:



Hope you guys enjoy

Thanks Reggie. I might sometime in the future after swapping the cam and playing with the timing (right now she's at 32 degrees)...I eventually want to hit 10s.

I am going to advance the timing (at 32 degrees now, going to 34), add a bigger cam, and get long tube headers on her. If that doesn't break 10s then I will change out the motor mounts, put in solid mounts and then try the t-brake

thanks for the compliments!

REGGIE THE T-BRAKE MAN!!!!

I just now seen this post because it was reopened and then I notice Reggie pushing for the trans brake again!

418WSTROKER: Nice car man! I like the launches even though you don't have a brake. Nice weight transfer.

I really love the brake. It allows me to build rpms/boost at the line.
