Since Nic was nice enough to tell us about his recipe to back up his quater mile time I thought that everyone if willing can spill the beans, if they like, on how they obtained their times. Please describe the engine, trans, gearing, tires, and HONEST quater times.
I'm curious as to who has the fastest combo with the shortest list of mods. Here is mine: 88 GT
stock engine
K+N
Pro 5.0 shifter
Mac cat back 2.5in
3:55'
Street tires (crappy kind)
15.0 sec @ 91 mph
p.s. to be modified shortly in the near future.

I got NoS stickers, neons, and 16 12" subs in the back,on my civic. I run 5's easily in the 1/4 mile.

[GT50]

LOL!! Oh did i forget, no import glorified fantansy rides.
(my Acura 1.7 EL (4door civic for you U.S. guys) does low 5's on nitrous and a supercharger) no stickers, excessive drag coefficient

Last night was my first time racing on a track. I was at Englishtown in NJ. First pass 15.8 - no burn out and no traction(i never realized how slick it is up there) and second run was 14.7 with decent burn out and decent traction. I was kinda easy on the gas from the start. I was afraid of spinning them again. Can't wait to go again. Is that good or not. I'm not sure. Oh my mods are below in sig.

Keep them coming! I knew that there are simple combos that are fast! I find it simply amazing the potential of the 5.0 motor in a Mustang.

Found out later I had a blown head gasket, and running off battery
All is changing now stay tuned

I bet you've got another 8 mph in that setup Tony.

[JUSTNLX]

Yeah, but the head gasket really sucked allot out of her. Incon said 11.40's is the norm for that set-up.

I'm soooo beyond that set-up now Things just kind of got outta hand Right Scott!

Engine so far;
R302 block
"O"-ringed turbo ported Trick Flow TW
stock cam w/1.7 roller rockers
Scat 3.25 stroked forged crank
Scat steel rods 5.40
custom made .060 Wisco pistons, for turbo app.
plus all the coatings on the pistons, heads, and exhaust manifolds/turbine housings
boost around 15psi

looking for 10's

I got a 92 LX.

Only mods to engine is roller rockers. My other mods is 3.73's, off-road H-pipe, with raven mufflers. Best time 14.61@96 mph. Street tires with no traction. However I'm in the process of hookin my pony up. Going for the 12's naturally aspirated.

[GT50]

Tony twin turbo looking for ten's. I think you deserve a nickname. How about MR T.?

[DaleBrown]

Guys I like this thread but it fits better in the lounge area. I'll move the post so you guys can continue it there.

If that thing doesn't run 10's I'm going to drive all the way out to California and give you a lesson on driving
