Roush Charger install

The install seems pretty straight foward..
Lets get some track time now!
1. Supercharger
2. Sparkier COPs
3. Long tubes
4. Custom exhaust
Get a nice custom tune on a dyno and you'll be set.
Get a pair of drag radials too.. already got the trac bars to keep that rear planted.
by: ONE04FX4 not sure about now but i remember a few years back that a whipple had oil that was to be put in a front resevoir on the blower itself that lubed the bearings.
The wife took it for a spin and laid two black marks in front of the house then fish tailed it powering out of a corner.....sheesh you watch she will want one next.....
well tonight we were coming home from my daughters HS playoff game and we came across the local 1/4 mile track. So the wife says lets go watch. We get in there and I find some of the mustang guys I know and the next thing I know I have a number on my windshield
. Well I am a bit rusty, been about 20yrs since I raced at a track and my RT showed it. Ok so the first run was a 15.41, second was 15.28 - now I had tire spin through 1st gear and partially through 2nd on those two runs. so the next 3 runs I started in 2nd gear and got 14.66, 14.69 and 14.68. Not to shabby for a screw that had my daughters band uniform and trumpet in it..lol Well we had to wait about 45 minutes in the staging lane due to some ricer chunked a rod and soaked the track. So my motor was cooled down, temps dropped another 10 degrees, so i thought I would leave a split second early to work on my RT and what do you know I freakin redlighted
but I posted the best time at 14.57. So now i need to find a cheap set of 17's to put some drag radials on and get my TP tune to raise my rev limiter and see if I can get into the 13's. Man it was a awsome rush I cant wait to play hooky on a friday night to do this again

Awesome! Do just that; get a pair of cheap 17" wheels cast aluminum (they're the lightest), and a set of drag radials... air em down and launch like you mean it.
I'll bet money you hit high 13's with good traction..
LOL.. I've done the same thing alot this year

Wow!
Seriusly get some 17" wheels and some drag radials/slicks. I would imagine you under 2 seconds in the 60'... around 1.85 is my guess. That would drop your ET to really low 14 seconds.. with the TP tune and new pully, and slicks you'll be into the 13's easy.
