Any upper only cars hit 10's without NO2?

[topfueldart]

You're going to need a hell of a 60' time to run 10.99 @ 122. Good Luck.

I'm 11.1@127 with a 1.51 60' Ported upper/lower, slicks and launching at 3k

Do you powershift? That's a killer 60 and mph!! Seems a little soft in the middle?

Talk to MuscleFan21, hes not far off in both cars hes owned, his zync went

11.2 with simple bolt ons and a upper only and his current car is a running 11.4s upper only with a hesitation

Any idea on his set up?

Yeah I still need to work on my 60' too. I'll have to get some light weight rims and a better tire if I'm really gonna give this thing a shot. I'm currently using rims off of a 94 GT with 255/50/16. I'm sure with a wider slick I can cut that time down a bit.

that's similar to what i run for wheels, i use 02 v6 mustang wheels and have 28x10x16 hoosier slicks on them, i think the 28" tire is taking away some of my trap speed as i dont need bigger than a 26 just got a super good deal on them.

op when are you going to do more mdos and return to the track? i'm curious how well you do once you do wheels/tires. i'm going again this sunday.

I won't be going to the track this weekend and I probably won't be upgrading my tires for a little while. I've only been to the track a couple times with the new set up so I still feel like I can shave off some time with some practice.

Nope looking to keep the trans. in the car, tried it once and it spit the shifter right back in my hand. Not worth it IMO. Car has a 10.99 in it with a higher launch and quicker shifting without power shifting. I've made a grand total of 8 passes in it, so not so bad. Especially considering I hadn't drag raced in 10 years and never with a RWD. 100-125 shot goes in as soon as the 10.99 slip is achieved. Kit sitting in my closet for over a year now.

I just picked up a set of slicks and mounted them on some v6 rims. Time to give it a shot before the tracks around here start shutting down for the winter.

I get jealous when I see all you running low 11s with upper only maybe upper and lower when most here in Colorado try to hit a 11.9 with ported/upper/lower combo.. Altitude is a killer here..

Are you talking about this track rental?

I'd love to attend a track rental but I just can afford it right now. I have lots of other things going on. I'm just sticking with the test and tune events for now. Plus I have no cooling mods so my car has to sit for awhile after each run so I'm not even sure if a track rental will even be worth it.

I went to the track a few weeks ago and ran a 11.5@122 and a best mph of 124 for the day so I still have room for improvement plus with the addition these new tires I should be pretty low in the 11's.

I ran 11.16@123 a couple of weeks ago with a Posi ported Eaton/plenum/stock TB with a 2.76 upper/stock lower. 28" ET streets out back & 18" chrome Cobra replicas up front. Running my normal street tune & only weight reduction was passenger seat removed & that was just because it makes it easier to haul the slicks in the back seat. Next time I head to the track I am going to run my race tune (2 deg more timing) & remove the sway bar & try to get a 10.99.

Great job! Gives alot of us hope it's fairly attainable to go 10's upper only, probably with minimal weight reductions or race gas!

I am shooting for 10's next season with a upper only non port, stock fuel system and stock mass air.

Wow I hadn't heard that. I'm planning on running this weekend.;-)

 

[myslowstang]

Just an update... I was finally able to get to the track again and I ran a 11.3 @ 125 w/ a 1.7 60'
I plan on hitting the track again in the next couple of weeks and actually launching it like I should to get that 60' down. We shall see how close to the 10's I can get.

 

[03 KYL]

I wanted to provide an update on my quest for hitting the 10's with just an 2.76 upper only. Got closer last night but not quite a 10 second pass, 11.03 was my best pass of the night. Changes since my 11.16 pass about a month ago were removal of swaybar and passenger side headlight. Also ran my 93 octane + Torco tune instead of my standard street tune.

Here is the vid proof.....

Nice work bud... Wish I had the option to make runs this time of the year, the air is pretty killer.

 

[mustang john]

10s here with no spray, no powershifting, no race gas or E85. Just a bit of weight reduction (not gutted) and a decently setup suspension. I do have a lower thou :rockon:
