Looks like it leaves pretty hard!

With the cooler weather that's coming I think you'll get it easy.

That first picture looks nice! Got any video?

The last time I saw something squat that hard it had four legs and was in my neighbors yard!

I will post the video up on our forums

Ha Ha mine was our  new little kitten doing that in the shop right before I gave it a good toss outside :)~

My buddy is running 12.70s with a very similar setup on his 05, plus exhaust, and on drag radials.  The key to him getting into the 12's was to launch it HARD.  He had a ton of 13.0X to 13.1X passes before he left hard enough to get into the 12's.

Thats pretty impressive for a "basically" stock GT. Those come with what about 300hp from the factory? so with the tuner and the cold air i am going to guess your pushing about 320-335hp? and your running consistent 13.0's. Thats pretty good, I have an 87 GT with stock suspension (thats the next upgrade) and stock size tires (already have 245/50's on order) and the best i was able to get was a 13.2. That is pretty slow considering i have a 400hp engine. My trap speed though was 108mph. If i was actually able to get some descent traction what do you think i should be able to run assuming i can get a good launch (like the one shown above). And for a rear-end upgrade what do you suggest??

Vito, one of the best parts I added were the control arms. They greatly reduced wheel hop (horrible on factory control arms for 05+ cars) and gave increased stability to the whole car. I would suggest you try a set of solid control arms, subframe connectors and a good set of Mickey Thompson drag radials or ET Street (cheater slicks). If you have the funds, also look into throwing those on a set of Weld Draglites. If you get serious about drag racing, you can always use a set of Eibach Drag Launch springs and set of shocks/struts.

Thanks J, i appreciate the info. I just finished putting on a set of shocks and springs from maximum motorsports. Used thier H&R sport springs with a matched set of Tokico shocks and struts, with new urethane spring isolators. Wow what a difference in handling. I haven't taken it to the track yet but looking forward to it. Don't have any drag radials yet but when the funds come around I want to get a set of the MM extreme duty rear lower control arms with the adjustable spring perch. then some drag radials. That should put me in the 12's!!!

I'm glad you liked the set up. Keep us updated on your next outing at the track!
