Buddy of mine works at a local dealership and has hooked up his 94 Z with a 383 stroker. Welp he emailed me yesterday and said we will do my converter, transgo, and transmission cooler at 1 PM thursday.
Well, i've never run it at the track before, i'm guessing i am right at 14.9 because i consistenly lose to my buddy w/ a v6 stang that runs 14.7 all day. He only beats me by half a car. That was also before the GMMG exhaust. So we can go from there, i guess??? It will be on an open rear too, until i get more cash to have the 3.42s/Auburn installed.

No before/after times? I'm dissapointed. Don't you want to know how much the converter has helped? Guessing times has not worked for me too well. You might be running 15.4s and think you are running 14.9s, then you get to the track and run 14.9s and be dissapointed. In which case I'll buy your converter for $50 since it obviously doesn't work. ;)
Maybe i could talk him into doing the gears and LSD also while we are there. Man what a difference all of that would make. School has been keeping me busy, that is why i haven't taken it out to race yet. I graduate in 5 weeks so then the fun will begin.
scott, i dont want to burst your bubble, but you are not at 14.9. not even with your exhaust. these guys are right, you should have before and after times. my guess would be 15.4/15.5. i speak from experience, though i could be wrong.
and another thing show me this V6 mustang running 14.7. i'll put him in his place for you. are you sure he is not 15.7 like V6 mustangs are? i aint being rude (your my bud), but you have no track record. open rear, 3500 stall, stock tires---- i tried to warn you. again, i aint being mean or anything, but with your setup as it is with the added 3500 TC i can honestly see you running a 15.8-16.2. spin city. like i said, i speak from experience. i dont mean to discourage ya, but you have to think of all the factors, not just 3500 stall. but i do wish you the best of luck in trying to beat my time. it is your determination that makes me buy more mods. :D
and again scott, i dont want to sound rude, but you gotta show timeslips before you say your in the 14s. good luck to ya
6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.
I'm not going to become a bench racer like 10SecDream (even though i bought his headers).
Just give me time, you bastards! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I love it how some people whose names will remain undisclosed never pay attention to me until i mention getting this or that mod. Nino, this is not referring to you, just FYI.
And NO, the v6 stang is not stock. He has a significant amount of cash in his car and i have seen his timeslips. It's not BS, why would i say something that is not true? Whateva.
Merlin, you can vouch for me about the v6 stang, and how close i am, remember that white one that i raced???
It's just horse**** that people try to make me feel "guilty" for not taking my car to the track. Sorry that i have school to take care of and a girlfriend that i love just as much as the car. LIKE I SAID, i graduate in 5 weeks so i will have alot more time to go and get many runs in at the track.
I'm sorry that i even posted about getting this converter in the first place.

Nino, thanks, email me.

I'm just basically saying that if it was me I'd do before/after so I can tell if I spend my money wisely. This way you won't be able to tell if it was a good mod or not. You might only get 2/10s from the converter and not know it and it will always be holding you back. See what I'm saying. Keith did one mod at a time and always went to the track. It's just a good way to measure your mods. If he just threw in all the mods and then went to the track he'd still be using the MSD DIS6 cause he would never know it didn't work. Whatever you want to do though. I'm just advising you not telling you.
