mine is guesstimated by Cobb Tuning to be 350/385ish. It's a HUGE difference, whatever the actual power of each is. :lol:

edit: HUGE difference at 3000rpm, not as huge at 6000rpm.

That's approx. what I have with the Ecutek/Topspeed tune. Some guys are claiming 12.6x with good drag skills. Or were...been a long time since I read 1/4 mile times.

+85ft/lbs and +50 HP(at the wheel) over stock at 3.6k rpms...I just looked at the dyno plots. That was with just the downpipe and tune. I added the rest of the TBE at a later point and saw another +12ish increase at the wheel.

Yeah, I reflashed with the AccessPort and didn't really feel much difference, and I didn't measure any difference in acceleration with a stopwatch (3rd gear, 4th gear, 5th gear pulls). Liz was able to stay right there with me during acceleration pulls, too. So the Accessport by itself is pretty worthless for making power. With the downpipe and "stage 2" reflash, it's a monster. Makes the LIZTi feel like a WRX by comparison. :lol:

Mine is guesstimated at the flywheel, so your gain was a little more than mine. I'd like to go get Dale Teague to tune it for me, and get a ported/polished turbo for a little more power between 2k-3krpm. Then I probably wouldn't have to kick the clutch to start the tires spinning.

I'll put my money on the automatic with traction control in a bracket race. Or, a slow Miata with a slipping clutch that gets a 1/8th mile head start! :lol:

I'll come if we have a heads up, "run what you brung" class. We have some fast cars in the club. None of them are front wheel drive. :wink:

The fastest street car probably has a bowtie and Z06 on it. I'm sure one of the trailered track cars is the fastest.
The lines get long at Fayetteville. I'd suggest arriving no later than 11:00 and getting in line on the side of the road.

Walter I'll run what I brung, heads up with you. I have a few extra hp than the camero but your drag racing experience should level that out. The last car I drag raced was a 1949 oldsmobile....in 1957... you skiered yet????

Final
Bernie 12.3X
Mike 13.3*
Judi 13.9X (Mustang)
Stephen 13.3X* (Mustang)
Stephen 16.0 (integra)
Les 13.33* (Mustang)
Les 13.9 (Hemi wagon)
Les 12.40 (vette)

So,
'merican iron = going fast
Subaru = Hard Parking

Wish I could have pulled off a 12.7 like ther other guy with a 5.0 (he had 3.55 and a tune)

*Car with baby seat in it

Not enough people to do a bracket race, but I'm guessing either LEs won for consistantly pulling .5XX reaction times in any car he drove, or Bernie for going "stinkin" fast in the vette.

No time for playing this weekend.

Busy getting two STis ready for VIR next weekend.

Shit, I would have pulled 10s. Slow ass mustangs.

Sometimes I get in the 9s in the driveway. Don't worry Bernie, you can be the Drag Queen for a year. Next year when I don't have to help my wife sand furniture I'll be out. I'll be double clutching and not granny shifting too!

My wife was in Wilmington autoxing, you need to get that woman of yours involved in auto's or you'll be granny sanding next year too!!!

Yep, that's James -- Granny sanding not double dutching like his wife said he should

Yeah, absolutely understood James. You've got bigger fish to fry at home rather than drag racing if your wife makes you play with your own wood.

Judi Westerfield · **Posted:** Mon Nov 22, 2010 10:05 am

Yesterday was a blast! Thanks Mike for letting me drive the Mustang!

Those didn't come missed a good time, shame we didn't have enough to have a bracket race and crown a queen. Thanks to Bernie and Mike for letting me drive your beasts, and your welcome for my granny shifting. :wink:

I think I did manage the best 60' time in each car. The Mustang 5.0 might be way to quiet on the outside, something I'm sure Mike will fix soon enough, but I was surprised at the cool noises it made on the inside. Bernie's car was just ridiculous, crossing the finish line at 116 mph was a new and awesome experience.
