fast lanes mustang is no joke. That cars a freakin beast
ya I am with you on that one. Beautiful car, really fast but should be an 04 Mustang not 04 Terminator... GT500 engine, turbos, Auto, Solid axle. Only thing Cobra is the bumpers.
What are most of you guys running these events using for front brake setups? BBK's with the thicker 32mm rotors or just different pads on the stock PBR system? It might be fun to try a few of these events I am just nervous slowing this car down unless you have a big runout area once you shut down.
I use wilwood 14 rotors w/6 pistons. Good pads an SS lines really help. I did run the stock brakes with the stock supercharger an it did fine. But if your running a higher hp car, bigger brakes are a good idea

i run a 14" brembo kit with a 1.25" rotor, good pads, stainless lines and good fluid ect... are they needed, probably not. do they make me feel better, absolutely. at minimum i would upgrade the pads and fluid.
I ran at the Clayton, GA event last month and went 144.4 mph in a Vert with 2.3L Whipple making 15lbs of boost. Stock exhaust manifolds and H-pipe, stock intake and TB with K&N, Magnaflow catback, 2600 MAF, AFCO intercooler. Stock hood, radiator, intercooler and overflow reservoirs, etc.
I was crossing the traps at the top of 4th, just slightly lifting/coasting to be safe. Was very pleased and the car will go faster with a taller tire and a better launch.

You should be fine. I have Powerslot rotors, Hawk HPS pads, and SS lines and I should be trapping 164/165.
164-165 is moving for a terminator. what mods do you have and whats your hp/tq?
Good to see another Terminator and convertible at this past race. I was in the Black vert and stopped by to say hello while you were waiting in line. I had a lot of transmission issues and couldn’t get out of the 130’s, but that just means I’ll build it stronger for next time! Hope to see you there again!
Stock calipers, Eradispeed rotors, Hawk HPS pads. No problem slowing down at high 130’s for trap speeds.
New best for me. Hoping for 160 this weekend.

158! That's great. What's your set up? I can't wait to get out there, I just hasn't happened yet.
Stock motor. Put a new vmp supercharger and swapped to running pure ethanol. My biggest problem atm is the launch. It’s fun for burnouts but have stock halfshafts so I can’t run slicks yet. IRS was rebuilt with dextrin bushings, and I have the ridetech coil overs all around. Let’s me adjust the rebound and it helps. I am experimenting with tire pressure and was running 23 psi on that run.
The big reason I swapped to pure ethanol was for heat control. I have about a 10 degree temp difference between idle and running at wide open.

Thanks for the info. I run a tvs too on E with all supporting mods. I'd be stoked to see 158. This gives me hope, thanks
Stock halfshafts are fine with slicks, plenty of guys launching very hard at the track with stock shafts. I don't think you want a big slick though going down a half mile track it might be a bit wobbly feeling. I think just a good mickey Thompson or hoosier drag radial will get it done for you.
Yeah I’m going for drag radials. Plus another 100-200 hp.

Kenne Bell 2.8 w/Behemoth intake @ 26psi, "E85", full exhaust, and intake are the power mods. Made 729rwhp & 665 ft-lb tq.
