I know that a stock or mildly modded Mustang 5.0 runs the quarter faster with the 3:31 gears than it does with 3:73s simply because the lower gears require one more shift than the 3:31s. I had a really close race with a modded SRT Dodge last night and with his auto trans, he pulled on me on the 60 foot, but after that, I inched past him and watched the tach get right to the 6200 rev limiter at the lights. I beat him, but had I had to shift, he would surely have gotten me. In my 12.4@113 bolt on L99 It shifted just before the lights at 6400 RPM and I always thought that I could have lowered the ET if I had an extra 100 rpms in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

I do not have to shift into 4th with the stock 20's on the rear... I do with the 18's I just got, but for the sake of consistency I plan to race with the 20's on the rear just so I don't have to shift into 4th.

Stock, it depended on traction... Red line third or shift into 4th at the line....
Now, 4th is at about the 1/8th mile mark....

The computer does a much better job of making good clean shifts right where you want them. |

When my car was stock it ran 12.7-12.8 right at 111 and hit the limiter a car length from the stripe in 3rd, it was 45* out also. My last outing was 30* hotter and with LT's, pulley,CAI and teds tune it ran a best of 12.6@113.3 still in 3rd, I think he sets the limiter at 6500 or 6800.

Dang, man!....12.7 bone stock should put you in the top 3 or 4 on the Official 1/4 mile fast list! I'm going to check to see if you posted that time. Nice runs. I would have thought your mods would have made a greater improvement over your stock runs.

I'm getting into 4th at about 1000 feet. Running 12.4 @ 117 last year. This year I have a cam and pulley making 71 more rwhp so I should get deeper into 4th.
