E/T gains? estimates?

Don't waste you money with a 2400 stall. I did that and it made no difference. I went to a 3500 stall and went from a 13.4 @ 107 mph to 12.50 @ 106 mph.

Damn, with just the converter u dropped almost a whole second? Is 3000-3500rpma still streetable cause my car is driven bout 6k-7k miles a year on top of some track time....and i hear ur supposed to match ur stall converter to ur cam? Just lookin for noticeable gains out of whatever i buy

yea, the correct converter and some sticky mickeys will make a huge difference. and as howell stated, with the E cam a 32-3500 converter would get it done!

Wow, great...glad i brought this up before i bought the wrong stall for what im lookin to get out of it.

so 3000-3500rpm lock up stall will make a noticable difference at the track and still be fine driving around?

yes....that is what we are saying. one the best things about a lockup converter.

ok cool! i was lookin into an ACC Boss Hog stall converter on Summit, 3200-3600 advertised stall speed, 10" lock up, its like $480, seems like the right one to go with...so say i go with that 3200 stall, and finish my suspension, MT tires, and get the tuner chip and everything works like it should, should i see 12's?

Yes. A 2400rpm stall is way too low for your engine combo so a 3200rpm stall would definitely be a vast improvement. You could even go slightly higher 'cause your car is lightweight and your engine combo will be making peak TQ between 4500-5000rpm.
You might want to upsize your injectors to 24lb'ers (with calibrated MAF) and upgrade the fuel pump so your engine doesn't run lean under WOT.

oh yeah, MAF, Injectors, and fuel pump is def on the "to-do" list but i wanted to get the transmission and suspension work done first, then im gonna def upgrade the fuel system! Being on a budget sucks tho, I can only do so much at a time, but it's gettin there...this summer the goal is to run in the 12's!

My car runs [email protected] consistently right now on pony rims n street tires, no stall converter, and stock suspension ....it will be getting 2400rpm stall, TCI constant pressure valve body, aftermarket upper and lower control arms, new racing style front struts, SCT tuner chip, and MT 255/60/15 DR's on Weld draglites by spring time...lookin for a rough ET and MPH gains and estimates in the quarter mile hooking good off the line and track conditions are good.

~12.8 @ 106

I'd recommend these control arms for street/strip:

1979-1998 Ford Mustang Pro Street Adjustable Upper & Lower Control Arm Package

Those happen to be the control arms i was lookin into getting! Those work well i take it?

My car is definately streetable with the 3500 stall. It doesn't seem to be an issue al all. Glad you learned at my expense. Anyone want to buy a 2500 stall with about 6 months use on it?

The biggest difference was the short time. 60 foot went from 2.02 -2.06 to 1.65- 1.67. Hold on when you do your first launch. I scared me. You would not believe the difference 0.6 seconds makes on the launch.

wow, great leap there from 2.02-2.06 to 1.6's! that's impressive! Ill be sure to wear Depends adult diapers the first time I take it to the track when i put a 3000+ rpm stall in her! If I can get the my car to run a 12.99, ill meet my goal for this year. I made my 2012 goal to make my stock 15.5 second mustang a 13 second car, and I did that in a summer, now 2013 goal is to hit 12's...preferably mid 12's but if I float around 12.7-12.9, im ok with that, especially from only having the car for 1 year and on a tight budget! goin from mid 15's to 12's in less than 2 years on my budget would feel amazing!

It took me 8 years to go from 15's to mid 12's. Adaughter that just graduated college and a son who just started had a lot to do with the delay. Of course dumping money into a converter that did nothing didn't help much either. Had to save up for a replacement converter as soon as I got the first one. Going to 24 lb injectors and a calibrated mass air this week. Wonder if that will make any difference at all.

Luckily im 24, single, with no kids so i dont have any delays other than not makin enough money at my job....so you're running 12.5's with 19# injectors and stock MAF? I know a guy with a 92 LX notch running mid 12's with basically the same set up as you and he told me if i cant afford to switch to 24# injectors and calibrated MAF, to stick 4 hole 19# injectors in cause thats what he's running, so ill probly do that as a temporary upgrade over the stock injectors until i can afford to go 24#/MAF/255lph fuel pump
