View Full Version : Mustang 4lt turbo
went to calder last night to try out some new springs coz my 60fts have been pretty poor all and all i was i pretty good result last night the car went 1.5 in the 60 which is a best still not too flash and also tried a few mid tracks with a best of 118mhp and that was on 275 radials so pretty happy considering that when the car run 9.80@143 it went 1.53 60 and a 112 mid on slicks

EZY10, Have you used your parachute yet since you installed it?
I was just curious because of how low you have the cables for the chute mounted. I was always under the impression you wanted the chute cables mounted as close to the center line of the vehicle as possible because if you mount them too low the chute will want to yank the back of the car up off the track when deployed.
It happened to a guy here with a gallardo at the texas mile. he deployed his chute at the end of his run and the rear wheels left the ground.
Here is the car. Notice the chute cable mounts below the bumper

Here is the video of what happened
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS1NU6xjTSY&feature=player_detailpage
Maybe you don't have any issues with how your chute is mounted but I thought i would ask, you have a gorgeous car and i hope it always stays shiny side up!
Cheers

no i haven't used it yet but mine is mounted just behind the diff not under the bumper like the lambo i've had it checked by the calder officials and they said it was ok .
thanks for taking the time to post that very nice of you.
cheers John
yah ive seen many cars with the chutes mounted too low ,one that stays in my memery is the radcliff dyno cortina , went on its roof twice because of chute too low , back end of car lifted of the ground at the top end of the track and he was a passenger from then on ,,not nice and i would hate too see you (John ) in the same boat ,,
i seen a skyline of Boosteworks at a work shop the other day thats going too have some trouble at top end with were the chute is mounted down nere the diff, hope thy dont end up like the lambo not nice too see cars wright off for silly mistakes like these ,,,
Congrats on a great time and thanks for emailing me the video of the run, untill now I wasn't aware of the work that you had put into this thing, I am impressed that it's full interior and runs such quick times.
Did you end up using the annular discharge venturi?
raced last sat again still having major problems hooking up ran 9.70@ 147 on radials did go as good as 148.50 mph but just cant seem to put the power down, still can't complain to drive there run 148mph and drive home:)
That thing is nuts John. Farrk me. On Radials? Holy crap so what it does on the strip it does on the street. How many cars can lay claim to that?...... on LPG TOO!!
This is awesome. Gives me massive hope.
Would be really good to get some slo mo vids from the rear, side and front of the car.

Nothing wrong with leaf spring the yanks run 7s with them all the time and bigger tyre will also be a added benefit.

glad too see you still using leaf spring as i have said before im a big fan of leaf spring and you can get them too work ,as posted guys in the states are running big numbers on leaf sprung cars and small tyers ,,,good too see you dont have too repaint ,and staying around the 28x9 style of racing ,,keep up the great work ,,cant wait too see times tumble good luck John

Looking good, John.
Is it engineered for tyre size as well as the modifications to the rear? Mine is engineered for an increase in tyre size but I'm not sure whether there's a limit or anything if you tubbed a car further.

yeah i'm not sure either if theres a limit i have to just get it re engineered for the rails but which is pretty straight forward
no you wont be the only one, I wont be tubbing my LPG turbo centura
My Gemi isn't tubbed either. It's never going to be setup for Drag racing anyway, more for circuit/street

yeah maybe ,
i'm going to the rod run so i'll see how i go i want to clean the car up for that.
Car went 9.20@148 last night at calder we had a few little issuse, downloaded the new haltech firmware and we didn't realise it had a lev limit soft cut which wasnt letting me rev past 6700 and the boost was dropping off to 36psi that was dopping 6psi for some reason too , ohwell still happy so far were getting there not bad for pump fuel i think it cost me a total of $5 to race all night:)
lol.... rub it in to everyone lol
$5.00 is about all you could fit into the new tank now ay ? :P
Well done man. 8's are a heartbeat away.
