2005 Mustang GT with non-intercooled Vortech Supercharger on otherwise stock 4.6L V8 engine.
I was a little disappointed with these numbers, but take these into consideration:
1. Street Tires
2. Automatic Transmission
3. 3:31 Factory Gear Ratio
2.1635 = 60 FT
5.9558 = 330 FT
8.9422 = 1/8 Mile = 84.07 Mph
Speaking of Gear Ratios ... I am polling the forum on what kind of gears I should
put into my stang. The debate seems to be between 3:73 and 4:10, but I have
heard almost no one talking about 3:90 ... would that not be a happy middle ground?
I cannot wait to see what she will do on the 1/4 mile ... long drive to nearest one

those are some decent numbers. You should be able to shave some time off that 60 foot if you get some traction.

Man, I'll be upset at those numbers. That's what I ran with just a predator tune, but if you take a closer look, there's potential...Your 60ft suck, drag radials will help a lot, not only in the 60ft and by looking at your 330ft I bet you're breaking traction from 1st to 2nd and maybe from 2nd to 3rd. I suggest to try the drag radials before you change the gears.
the numbers look a little high...Maybe not enough air is getting in?? Are you running the stock intake? Also I would look at the tune. Something isn't right here.

I have a 2005 GT / Auto with the C&L CAI and Xcalibrator custom tune. Nothing else has been done (tires, gears, etc.) I went to the track last night. 1/8th mile
Not trashing you by any means but I am now wondering if the $4000 for a SC would be worth it for me. I am also looking to get the most from this car and the SC was definatley on my list. I may start looking at N20 now.
Keep in mind part of my problem is that I am putting so much power down that I am not hooking up (might even go into another spin when I hit 2nd gear). Also, my automatic has gear ratio 3:31, so for about $400 with installation for some gears and some good street drag tires, my S/C SHOULD put me into the low 8s maybe high 7s. Right now I am just trying to figure which gear ratio to go with: 3:73, 3:90, or 4:10. I am leaning towards 3:90.
