If you have not been to the track dont bother posting what you should or think you should run. Oh ya no g-tech #'s either. List your time and mods.

16.4, but i have an atx......and at the time i had, Race header,MBRP, stock flex, cheap CAI which probably robbed me power, pullies, and diablo chip.....since then i have added an iceman intake, bosal flex,msd coil pack and wires, and SCT chip.....should be running it again in the next month, bu ti have also added, 17's, and a system in the trunk, which i can not take out, so idk how i will do next, WELL SEE

I ran a 16.9 with a cat-back, K&N drop in, and FS/SCT Superchip. I installed a UDP and bosal flex and still ran a 16.9. I need to get my launch's down. With the UDP it gets up into the high rpms so quickly that i don't wanna spin the tires. Also i had a .6 - .8 r/t. For some reason i can get off the line better from light to light in traffic than i can at the track. Go figure, i must have street racer blood in me [8]

^^, drew ur right...but ur LAUNCH will effect u a nice deal...which i think is all to do with ur R/T......i know when i launch my atx at 2100. i get my best time, i have a substancial amount of power that the minute i catch traction i dont bog down AT ALL and all my power is right there.....whereas, if i launch from like 1300, it bogs way the hell down when i hook, so it takes a bit more time for th rpms to come up, hence a slower ET.....everyone just needs to learn there car, and spend more time at the track to get better times

can some really nice person explain this to me?

reaction time is the time from when the light turns green until you move. Basically how long it takes you to "react" to the light.

E.T. is elapsed time which is the amount of time from when you start to move until you cross the finish line.


You can have a 30 second reaction time and still run a 10 second 1/4 mile.




So does anyone have a fast all motor focus? under 15.00?

13.38 @ 102.24

Just ran it a couple weeks back as #1 qualifier at Fun Ford Weekend in Ennis, TX. You can check the www.funfordevents.com to check.

Stock bottom end, stock head, stock cams.

One off turbo kit, FC TB, FC pullies, Quaife, badly slipping Centerforce, Denso plugs, Mangecore wires, Tom's MIC, Mickey Thompson 22/8/15 slicks. I have run 13.8 numerous times on 17" Yokohama ES100 street tires.

somewhere between 9-10psi.........its an autometer guage so your guess is as good as mine.

Also this time was in 97 degree heat and a head wind.

I should be putting in my Marcy Motorsports clutch this week and running the car at the NOPI event in Dallas next weekend. Cooler weather, gripping and lighter clutch/flywheel combo hopefully = first stock zetec (non-SVT) engine in the 12's

actually...not only is your reaction time a measurement of how fast you reacted to the light but It is a measurement of how long it took from when the light turned green to when you CROSSED the starting line. A perfect reaction time is .500 because the human body and car combo take at least 1/2 of a second to react to the light. anything less than 1/2 a second is a considered a false start.

I don't know what an orp is, I am going with the most radical head package I can get with either a chip or the pectel engine management. I think I can get low 15's with just the tranny work so I think with heads and computer I can get it there. Then for the nitrous

15.477 @ 89.40 MPH. That was with intake and cam timing. Im getting my header and exhaust installed tomorrow and it will be off to the track friday to see the nice improvements.

correction....the ORP replaces the cat.....
