1/4 time good or bad - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

ASH302 · 08-06-2009, 03:42 PM

i have a 5-speed running jba shorty, o/r h, bassani cat back, nitto DR, steeda cai, steeda shifter. my best time was a 13.045, to me this isn't very good, what do ya'll thank. i'm not the best driver in the world but i don't suck. i'm a good driver, go once a year to the track. i just think with the mods i have i should be in the 12's

that ain't bad man. take it easy on yourself....your in hotass TX! Give it seat time and keep track of what works better like launching styles and shift points. you're close enough I think a 12 is around the corner.

yea that run was the best i had all night. i was running back in forth 13.2 to 13.3

I just thought i should run 12's with no problem. i don't go to the track enough to really practic, thanks though

I feel ya. If it makes ya feel any better...when my car was stock I went from 14s to 13.3s from my 1st to 2nd trip to the track. As is the case with most people. It really is about finding a groove, which is hard for some, including myself, if trips to the track are few and far between.

yea like i said before i think i said, i go like once a year. i got 10 runs in and getting use to the DR took about 4 runs and the 5th one was way better. i was having to launch at 4500 to 5k and just punch it hard and the take off was amazing feeling. i'm just slightly mod on my car a little suspension. nothing to much. i think i'm setting at 300rwhp. i also have nitrous but i didn't use it. i'm fixin to deploy so i'm getting my procharger when i get back and next time i go to the track will be with it and that will be a whole new deal with times and starts to get use to.

thats not that bad. i just put the p1sc on my o3 mach and im getting 440 rwhp ( tuned down for the heat- i live in granbury ) and friday night i ran a best 11.94 @ 115. before the procharger my best was 12.97 and all i had was exhaust and cai. think i will get in the mid 11s with more time getting used to the extra power. your gonna love the procharger!

I got told cuz i ask on here p-1sc pushing 450rwhp and DR and most of them were sayin mid 11's with no problem.

Keith.red.mach1 · 08-09-2009, 10:44 PM

what track did you go to?

ASH302 · 08-10-2009, 12:31 AM

Well right now i'm station up at ft. lewis, WA and went to Pacific Raceway, it is near Kent, WA. they are holding Pinks all out this up coming weekend. i know my profile says TX, sorry bout that

scxc15 · 08-11-2009, 05:06 AM

Could be worse I race at Bristol, TN and we've got higher elevation. I've got a ram air, x-pipe, and short shifter and can barely get a 13.8...

ASH302 · 08-11-2009, 05:30 PM

i guess i'll take it that running low 13's aren't bad for the mods i got. but when i get my p-1sc i better run 11's

Keith.red.mach1 · 08-11-2009, 06:39 PM

I don't think that time is very good, but there are so many weather factors and traction issues.

The track seems easy but so many factors to a good time.

ASH302 · 08-14-2009, 01:07 PM

ill have to wait to go again after deployment but ill have my s/c on

H-TownMachI · 08-14-2009, 02:32 PM

Work on your 60' times. With a sub 2 second 60' time you should be running in the 12's.

what do you mean by stocker wheels and tires? what are all the good bolt ons?

Con's Mach1 · 09-18-2009, 04:35 PM

I think it's a good time. You're right there at the 12s. Close enough to be a nose hair.
