4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312

  

28HopUp -> 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 11:10:33 AM)

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 is my 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.

Well at least when your driving it lives up to its name.[image]http://i29.tinypic.com/72zv4z.gif[/image]Nice runs.

Trmachuno -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 11:49:12 AM)

Nice! What are your future modding plans?

QatarStang -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 11:56:55 AM)

Nice runs!  I wish I could have been there as the DA was an astounding -1400 from what I understand.  Those are the kind of DA's that we dream of.  Nice burnouts, really gotta heat those M&H's up.

Good job man. Love the sig pic

Very Nice times. I have seriously been looking into getting one of the New sixxers. They are not too horribly slow stock, have a good suspension with tons of room to improve, and a decent engine that gets pretty good gains. I am not a fan of how heavy they are or of the styling too much but they are still pretty good cars to me. I am stuck between a 05-06 V6 or 96-98 Cobra.[:@][:D]

even though the 96-98 cobras will be quicker, id rather have a stock s197 v6.   looks, comfort, room, etc.

cobra4579 -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 9:23:34 PM)

^Maybe your v6 but a stock one, come on.[:'(]   Don't even get me started about the looks department.  A s197 v6 doesnt even compare.  Different strokes for different folks i guess.

fazm -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 9:37:08 PM)

you're talkin to the man that sold his 2003 cobra before his 2005 v6 lol

[sm=jawdrop.gif] Your V6 is awesome and all, but, I just don't think I'd be able to get rid of a Termi for an '05+ V6 Stang, or any '05+ Stang for that matter.

fazm -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 9:52:04 PM)

sometimes you take  practical over fun....

450rwhp practical v6 lol.

2000AZ5.0GT -> RE: 4.0L NA Torque Monster Goes 14.312 (3/31/2008 10:11:29 PM)

Oh, comeon, that's more fun than it is practical. I would ask what kind of gas mileage you get, but I don't want to cry because of my lowly 15mpg driving conservatively (dont even ask about the highway)
