Racing Goals for 2010

[talontsi92]

Personally, I want to get the rear main fixed on my Laser, get it to PRP more than once, and run something deep in to 13's, maybe a high 12, if I get my new cams, and better exhaust manifold, I cock my head to the left a little, and the stars align juuuuuuuuust right.

What do you guys want to see in the 1320 this year?

[Rodeheavers]

i am hoping to get my car into the 8s on pump gas, through the mufflers, with a race weight of 3090lbs.

[talontsi92]

Holy crap, 8's on pump gas! In the n/a car or the car on spray?

[Balaska347]

Im looking to go 10's NA with a brand new car. Ill be very happy to get 10.50's but thats going to be a long stretch.

thats the NA car(gonna spray it), the 347 car needs a stronger block to go 8s..

With that mph you should be 13.0 -12.9

[AdamantiumSilvr]

With the bigger/smoother flowin custom upper intake tube, 70mm Throttle Body and Upper Intake Plenium and a possible aluminum driveshaft um lookin to go mid ta low 13's consistantly, for sure!

[police4.6]

15.2

[Tom]

My goal is to not miss any gears, then I can start working on the whole time thing :)

[talontsi92]

I hope so, that time was on stock injectors/pump and a 133k mile transmission that hated to go into 2nd at anything over 3500rpm, so I proceeded to look like an $$$ on the strip, after a crappy (1.98) 60' I miss 2nd gear by about a country mile and nail the limiter.... twice... So i know it has plenty more in it. It is just a matter of whether I can do it LOL.

[cwh19]

I want to do 11.8. But with a convertible and no roll bar, we wil see how low I can go before they tell me no more ha. :boink:

Take some of your interior out before we go.

[police4.6]

Take some of your interior out before we go.

yeah but dude the car is still gonna way over two tons

[Mach1Mush]

I went 12.92 @109 before long tubes and a tune. Im hopein to maybe see a 12.60

[Balaska347]

I dont think you'll have a problem meeting your goal Mush. You might need a better set of tires.

[Mach1Mush]

Ya , Im looking into what i gotta do to fit 15inch wheels on the back so i can have a bigger sidewall. What tires do you reccomend.

[talontsi92]

I have heard nothing but good things about the Mickey Thompson ET STREET (radials) and ET DRAG tires (slicks). I have also heard good things about the Hoosier QTP's as well.

[casper gt]

goals for '10? get rid of my mid summer bog (hey Tim) & see some new faces at the track.

[casper gt]

15x8-5.5 b/s, 26x10.5-15 et streets.

[Mach1Mush]

15x8-5.5 b/s, 26x10.5-15 et streets.

you sure this will work on a Mach 1, they came with the bigger brakes on the back

[casper gt]

most wheel's work fine with bullit/mach/cobra rear brakes, but once you settle on a style of wheel, best to either ask around specifically about that style or just order 1 & test fit it BEFORE you mount a tire on it. is the car a stick or auto?

[driller]

15x8-5.5 b/s, 26x10.5-15 et streets.

I'm looking for the same thing but plan on running the Hoosier QTP DOT drag tires.

If I'm lucky I hope to get the land barge Lincoln in the 12s this year.

better off on m/t's, QTP's have been hit or miss at PRP. good luck on 12's though.

I dunno, I have a pair of Mickey Thompson ET Street Drag Radials and I am not impressed with them. But I assume you're not talking drag radials?

The only problem I've had with the QTPs is they don't last long (or maybe they'd last longer if I didn't do such nasty burnouts). If I remember correctly, the Hoosiers are lighter than the MT's.

[casper gt]

no, I was talking about bias ply m/t's. the QTP's are indeed very light, a few guy's tried them last year with mixed results & most are going back to m/t this year. kinda suprising you'd be having problems with an auto at that power level on m/t d/r's though, I guess the mkviii susp must not help much.

[mustang50lx]

My 2010 racing goals:

#1. Don't break.
#2. Don't redlight.
#3. Go further in the points.

its a stick, not stock tranny tho, T-56 from D and D

[casper gt]

yeah, I wasn't shure but I was talking to Tim about your car today & he was telling me about the swap. something else to consider is swapping to gt rear brakes & all your wheel fitment problems will be solved.

Glen (mustang50lx) is the one to talk to about QTP's, he's one of the ones who ran 'em last year.

[iaintmaci]

My goal......Getting to the strip. I have no Idea what my Dakota is gonna do. 4.7, Fulltime T-Case, 3.92 Gears.....whats your guess?

[Rodeheavers]

17.45@78

[talontsi92]

17.45@78

Id say somewhere around here too...

[Swarzkopf]

Goals...main goal is to enjoy the nice weather when there isn't 20" of snow on the ground and the temperature is above 14. :D Beyond that, I'd like to see my Monte Carlo do 13.5 or better. Last years goal was a 13.99 or better for the Regal, which I managed a few times.

[Hawkeye]

Make it more than 4 runs without frying another piston.
