Hey all my name is Ric. I have been a member oh for about 5 years. I haven't made it out to the club yet or any of the shows. I am hoping to change that now. As of a couple weeks ago I purchased my third mustang and probably got the best deal yet. Its a 2005 Sonic Blue GT with racing stripes. Finding it on Google was really an accident or some might say dumb luck. The car is a automatic which I know someone will grimace but believe me the car definitely has some get up and go. Previously one owner who was an older gentleman. The car, as I said I lucked out, only has 31k on it and the gentleman had put a Bassini exhaust, VISUS rear louvers, quarter louvers, STEEDA controller arms, 4.4 gears (might be stating that wrong), sequential tail lights and many other things. I know have reason to go to the shows, most definitely and some of the meetings and get togethers. Look forward to meeting some of you soon. Ric |

Hey all made it down to MIR this past weekend. I was really kind of nervous as I had never run a quarter before. My concerns I didn't want to do anything stupid or make a jack$## out of myself. Before getting to the track I was almost on "E" which was great as far as I was concerned. I stopped at the WAWA and threw in about 30 worth of 93. I went with my buddy Kevin who has forgot more about cars than I know. I let Kevin run the qualifier and Kevin ran a 13.59 with a R/T of .486. Kevin told me that it was pretty good but now it was my turn. So drove over to prestaging put Kevin's helmet on and had a little bit of jitters. When it was my turn I broke the beams which was a little hard to judge as it was my first time. Both cars finished staging the lights went and I was off on green. Finished my run no idea of my time and went to pick up my slip. Being my first time the first thing I looked at was overall time which was I think 13.764 what I had not noticed till kevin pointed it out to me was that my R/T was .002. AWESOME. However what was weird was the overall time being slower and while I am definitely hooked now I have a question. Before my race we used my predator and applied a 91 tune think that was the higher tune. It isn't, the 91 tune is called MAF C&L 91, there is another tune called MAF C&L that is a 93 tune. I don't know why they call it MAF C&L instead of MAF C&L 93. Now with kevin's time's and my R/T that would have been like a 13.1 maybe. This however leads to another question. I reset the tune as I don't want to run 93 all the time, in doing so what I did not know is the tuner automatically set the tune back as if the stock gears were in there hence today when I was 60 according to the speedometer I was actually only doing like 43 (my tablet has a speedometer). So after talking with diablosport I figured out I had to go back in apply the tune I wanted but do a modify before applying it, setting the axle ratio appropriately for my larger gears. Now I am wondering cause there are four our five other settings in there. SPARKS WOT Fuel Idle RPM Rev Limit Drive Shift Points is there anything else I can safely tune that might squeeze just a tad bit more out of her. I'm not talking alot I would love to break 13 though even if its 12.95. I understand the axle ration setting now but the rest of the settings I really don't kind of like Tom's cruise's ignorant character in Days of Thunder....lol....know how to change plugs...oil...most basic stuff...but these settings greek to me. Again just looking to squeeze a little more out of her safely. Also I am going to upload a couple pics this time if I can figure out attachments on here. |
