I mounted up some drag radials on my Mustang and finally got into the 11s.    The 60s are not very good and that is strictly driver caution.   I had never run drag radials before and I have heard of Mustangs popping half-shafts if the hook TOO good.   Since my track is 110 miles from home, I launched it like a Grandma.   With more practice and more aggression, I think the car has 11.8 or even 11.7 in it.   Not too shabby.

Congratulations!!!  Those are some great runs and I agree if your 60ft comes down even in the low 1.8's you'll see an 11.7 I bet!  What brand and size drag radials?

Mickey Thompson ET street R in 275/40-17.   I ran 20 PSI which was probably too much.   I was getting a bit of wheelspin on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts but 100% better than the stock tires.    I also didn't do a very good job with my burn-outs, either.   Here is what they look like on the car:

Doing very well :thumb:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No launch control.  It does have a dragstrip mode that makes shifts occur at 7400 rpm and it shifts super fast and hard.   Has line lock for burn outs.

I loved running my Livernois tuned MKS ecoboost at the track.   It was super consistent and felt like it could do it forever without complaint.  It also got a lot of attention because of it being such a sleeper.

After replacing the MKS with a Continental, it wasn't quite as much fun.   AJPturbo did a great job of tuning it and it ran well.   He also told me that he could do more especially with the transmission tuning.   However, I never felt quite as confident in running the Continental.   It ran hotter, wasn't quite as consistent, and didn't hook as smoothly.   It is a great highway cruiser but putting it on the track is like putting a super model in a mud wrestling event....maybe entertaining but it just doesn't seem right.

The Mustang is super fun.   Like the MKS, it is consistent, runs cool and feels like it could do it forever.   Plus, it is pretty fast.   It certainly lacks the tuning potential of the ecoboost since it is pretty well tuned straight from the factory.  An SHO running Meth and some bolt-ons would be as quick or maybe quicker.   The Mustang really needs an e85 tune or, better yet, a blower to be super fast.   I am thinking about those things for the future.

If any Minnesota or Wisconsin SHO owners are interested in going to Rock Falls in October, there are some events on their schedule and the air should be good.

Mike, you as a mopar guy will be surprised to hear that on the run where I had my slowest time (12.0), my competitor was a Hellcat!  Look at his 60 and you will see why I beat him.   He could not hook at all.  Very unusual.  They are normally much faster than I am.  He did have a stronger trap speed.
