'67 Mustang Coupe by bwkelley76

2 minute(s) of a 78 minute read

Took the Mustang to Sac Raceway for a little 1/4 mile Drag Racing test and tune this evening. Ran a best ET of 12.931. That run resulted in a 102.279 MPH with a 2.042 60-Foot and .135 reaction time.  

Best overall numbers for the night were 107.4 MPH, 2.042 60-Foot, and my best reaction time was .041. If I could have combined all of those numbers into one clean run (Practice makes perfect!) I believe I could have nailed a 12.50 to a 12.70.  

VERY HAPPY WITH THIS! Not often do you see a purpose-built road/autoX car run 12's in the quarter mile with just a quick adjustment of the shocks. (literally done in 5 minutes) ...I still had the sticky/wide tires on the front also.  

...Just a few turns of the adjusters on the 2-way adjustable Varishock shocks allowed for great weight transfer to the rear tires. The thing launched awesome and pulled hard the entire way.

Here's a little "teaser" video, still waiting on a few people to send me better pics and videos.

...Here's how my day went. The original radiator sprung a leak so I found a cheap aluminum alternative. Took all day to do it all right, NOT a direct bolt-in by any means. I had to hand-make brackets for everything, shroud included.
