Is this a low MPH for a 2001?

Joe98stang · Mar 10, 2004

My last trip to the track went like this:
1.694 60'
8.023@86.38
12.60@107.2

Now I've seen other 01's run the same 1/8th speed but then normally end up trapping at around 109 or 110. It just seems that my 1/8 mile speed is too high to be running a 107.

typically you see 13-14mph more in the 1/4 so yeah possibly. How about damn stock mach's running more mph. that gets me.

Joe98stang · Mar 10, 2004

yea mach 1's are healthy cars to say the least! you think it could be the 4.10s? You mean 23-24mph right

how much power does a stock mach 1 make

Why does that get you? The Mach makes more power than the 99-01 Cobra. So it should not be a surprise. It is not the same engine.

I think it's the 4.10's. You're shifting to 4th gear too close to the traps. If you're going to stay N/A go with 4.56's. I had 4.10's and swapped to 4.30's, shoulda went to 56's though

Joe98stang · Mar 10, 2004

Alright thanks. I'm definitely going to give the 4.56's a try then.

could you feel a differnce between the 4.10's and the 4.30's? I am thinking of doing the same swap.

Thanks

Yes. It's a pretty noticable difference, even my passengers had comments. The main difference is the fact that 1st gear doesnt bog down like it used to. I still have street tires so I cant launch to high but I can now leave the line at idle or a few hundred rpms higher and the car will pick itself up pretty good. When I had the 4.10's it was always bog bog bog.

Its definately your 4.10 gears. Go with a 4.56 and youll drop a few tenths and pick up a few mph. My 1/8 mile mph was almost the same as yours but I trapped almost 111 last friday when I ran my car. Heres how my slip went for comparison.

60' 1.688
330' 5.042
1/8 7.854
mph 86.85
1000 10.273
1/4 12.310
mph 110.98

This is my first pass on slicks...when I blew the oil pump gears on the 3/4 Powershift

60’ 1.643
330 5.091
1/8 7.823
MPH 89.28
990 10.164
¼ 12.550
MPH 103.32

My best pass is in my sig on drag radials

4.10s suck for the 1/4 mile!

Dave me and you gotta line up...Pm me for details on my clubs track rental at ATCO!
