looks good, are they both with the timming bumped, because your 944 is faster than you 1018 time slip. You dont give you car much of a break do you :smile:

Yeah they were both with the timing bumped. The slower one spun very hard on the 1-2 shift. It was humid and cool and the track was just getting slick. I knew it wouldn't be as good of a pass as the first. On the first run it ran 1 mph faster than it ever has at the 1/8 and over 1 mph faster at the 1/4. Ran 7/100 quicker than ever before with a worse 60'.
I used my buddy's scanner last night to do those. I don't have one, so I have to take pics of the time slips to post them :grin: It kind of hard to make these out, but these are the ones from Feb 6 with the timing set at 13.

What else have you done to your car if anything? I was at the track today and still believe there is better times in my car but before I do anything other than a timing adjuster I want the car to be in the 13's. When I say anything I mean even on the stock radials. My best pass to date breaks down like this.
60' ... 2.126
330 ... 6.078
1/8 ... 9.288
MPH ... 76.82
1000... 12.029
1/4 ... 14.329
MPH ... 97.62
I have run 1 MPH faster all the way around but spun so bad on take off that it ran 2 tenths slower thru the quarter mile.
I'd also like to know what the fastest time a TOTALY stock (down to the tires) BULLITT is.
Thanks

I have Nittos, Pulleys, Timing Adjuster and a K&N. I gave up on the stock tires. I have no doubt you could run a 13 on 'em, I just got tired of crappy track conditions and trying to do it. I ran a 14.02 @ 100.20 on Goodyears, but 60's began to suffer after that and I got stuck in a 14.24-14.29 rut.
I think I am done with Orlando for a while. I sat in the staging lanes for 3 hours today without running. At about 2:30 it started raining. Rather than tell everyone to go home, about 70 of us stuck it out. At 4pm they announced they would be ready in about 30 minutes. Shortly after that they announced we would get one run and they only were gonna run 1/8! I got one run in 5 hours
I had never run 1/8 before and thought I could get through in 2nd gear. Didn't make it. Hit the rev limiter and the car fell on its face and I ran an 8.97 @ 77.64. That really sucked.

What's up 01gtb nice times. So do you think the timing adjusters works or is it not worth it. Also I dont get it how the hell are you running those great times with a 2.1 and 2.2 sixty foot time. If you drop those to a 1.9 your car will be flying. Also if your not going to orlando anymore what track are you going to hit.

Absolutely :smile: No doubt about it, for the money, pulleys and T/A are worth it.
You saw the car run the 13.81 and a best MPH of 100.86 on the last run. Friday, bump the timing.... it picks up over 1 mph :smile: I was just talking Wednesday about how I was dissapointed that it didn't get close to 102, then it does it.

I ran 13.80 at 101.8 BONESTOCK last June (90 degree temp). That was the last time I ran on the stock tires.
I ran 13.33 at 102.19 with only mod being 275/40 17" Nitto DRs last November (55 degree weather).
I might take it out in some cooler weather with the stock tires just to see what the real BONESTOCK best can be for me. I see no reason it couldn't run 13.6, but the clutch is gonna hate me :grin:

I have been doing a little research of mine own I just find it so hard to beleive that the bullitt will run that fast. I do beleive you JB. But here is the problem I think for some reason or another the track you run at post better times then any other track I have seen. It seems that all cars that run in Texas have better e.t.s. I have a feeling if you bring that car to another state yur times wont be as good. What do you think 01gtb.
I'm not sure Nomad. The track is Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, Tx. It is widely used track by the NHRA, so I can only assume all timing devices are accurate and up to date.
There are two very large NHRA drag races there every year (O'Reilly Nationals and something else, maybe Matco Tools??). All the big boys show up, like John Force, Bernstein, Selzi, etc... I can't imagine the NHRA would tolerate inaccurate equipment for such important, big cash events.
Who knows?? It is at sea level (which is a big plus) and we occasionally get great, cool, high baramoter weather (30.35 or higher). Add in a good 60ft launch, some clean shifts, and you're gonna be happy when you pick up the timeslip.

I think I want to run at HRP :smile: But only after Cecil County, Maryland. Now that is supposed to be a "fast" track!

Thanks for the info. I'll be putting the T/A on #85. I remember buying my 1987 GT only to find out that the timing was set at 8 degrees from the factory. After bumping it to 14 degrees the car ran like a scalded dog. I have a feeling the ford still has that same quality checking problem and this would account for some of the slower times from other Bullits.
I won't take anything from the folks out there with some of the better times I'm reading about. Some people are just better drivers.

Nomad, the 4.10 install has been put on hold. I've been so busy lately with trying to sell my 98 Cobra and buy a Z06, I haven't even messed with the Bullitt since I ran back in November.
I did, however, manage to take my Z06 out to HRP this last Sunday. Check out the Nada Bullitt section for my post :grin:
