4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312

I too went to MIR over the weekend, and had fun looking at the other 129 Mustangs there! Driving down, I met up with four other members of the host club, but we ended up taking a different route than I had planned to go. Their route was shorter, and instead of arriving at the track with 10-15 miles to E, I had 78 miles to E - so much for the idea of putting 4-5 gallons of 104 unleaded in the car and running my race tune. So I retained my 93 tune, and kept the interior in tact (but removed the jack,spare, and floor).

I got to make 4 passes, and beat my previous personal best twice. Here ismy best slip of the day:

The other car was a S197 GT, and you'll notice that I beat him in the 1/8th mile! After getting a new PB, I was coached by rygenstormlocke to do a ProStock burnout for the camera. Using my new line locks, I put a hurtin' on my M&H Racemaster DR's. Sadly, rygen's camera battery died, so I had to do it again. I was happy to oblige! My new sig displays rygen's handiwork with a camera (thanks Todd!).

Two other NA Torque Monsters ran 14.4's, and one of those was a car with only a tune, intake, and exhaust (using the 16" stock BFG's on a peg-leg 3.31:1 rear-end!).

All in all, it was a great day.

Good runs!

The torque monster has struck again.

Thats damn impressive for V6 and the price.

Nice run, and great short time. Any plans on dipping into the 13s?

That's a pretty nice run for the torque monster. What are your mods?

^^^^That's a pretty decent list. I wonder what you would've been running, had you been on the 104 octane and had your race tune.
