I live in Monterrey Nuevo Leon Mx the height is 550 meters above sea level

my car is an automatic Mustang GT 95 with gt40p heads without porting work, low ported lower intake, cai, timing 10 degress, .030 pistons, radial tires, I took about 200lbs of weight off my car, 3.27 gears in differential, turbine stock

my time in 1/4 mile was 16.54 seconds, the detail is that it only burned a tire with one wheel, I took it out of the traffic light at 1500rpm because then it began to skid

Do you think that the fact that only the right wheel works has affected me a lot?

When the car reached 3500rpm and up and I put the change at 4800rpm I felt it very well, but the first 100 meters I felt it very slow, my next modification would be to put a 4.10 and then port those gt40p heads with their explorer admission ported

Another piece of information that I have is that I use the original headers of the e7 heads and I gave them a few blows and then soldered what broke, perhaps that also restricts airflow in cylinder 5 and 6

Biggest thing is traction and getting off the line… 2.6 60 foot is horrendous.
On a drag radial a potato will cut 1.8s.
Your car would likely drop right into the 14s where it should be until you get more comfortable drag racing it… possibly high 13s.

Without traction it will never be fast! Spinning ain't Winning!
1) fix one wheel peel
2) get a drag tire. So you can give it all the power.
3) get a gear.
4) get a higher stall converter.
5) Making more power.

This is the order I would do it don't worry about #5 until you have 1-4. If money is tight you might could do the stall before the gear 3.27 are not the worst. But if you are paying someone to do the work it would make sense to change the gears while the fix the trac loc.

Is this a stock AODE? Those transmissions are slush boxes from the factory. Look into a 4R70W swap with JMod. Get a good 3200 stall converter, rebuild the rear end. Get some sticky tires and youll see at least 2 seconds of improvement.

The AODE has close ratio gears, that is the 3rd and 4th are the same as in the 4R70W, but the 1st and 2nd are close to the 3rd gear. So putting in the 4R gears would make 1st and 2nd like having two steps lower R&P gears.

What intake is on that, ported what kind of intake? If it's the stock intake, yank and chuck that, any GT40 or Explorer intake is much better for street rpm's, versus stock E7 etc.

You can install the same Jerry's Mod into the AODE. Give it that and a better torque convertor, and better gearing for fun.

1. Think of mustangs as "fun" and not so much "dominating performance".
2. A torsen rear end with torque arm/panhard bar suspension and full length subframes was a huge performance leap when I got them. It felt like a brand new car and there was no axle windup at launch. I recommend 3.55 gears.
3. I recommend against all the little things like bolt-ons and engine detailing. Get a blower and gears, and if your car still isn't fast enough then get a 2015+ car.

The good thing is you only have to buy one drag radial for the rear. 😆 JK.
Need to fix the one wheel peel. 3.55 or 3.73 your choice. The .67 4th overdrive will do well all around highway and street, don't forget you will have to live with it 99% of the time outside the track. I personally wouldn't do 4.10. Stall covertor change. 24-2800. You will need an additional transmission cooler to keeps temps down on the street. About the cheapest power adder you can get besides a used supercharger is a nos kit. Your time seems about correct if your spinning with a 2.6 60 ft.
