i pretty much got on here for the first time b/c of a problem i seem to have....i have a 93 mustang lx with some work....30 over 10.4:1 pistons w/edelbrock rpm heads...cam, would have to look up the specifics but its from comp cams, crane rocker arms, edelbrock lower/gt40 upper intake, msd digital 6 system, hooker equal headers, 2.5 off road pipe, 2.5 flowmaster mandrel, adjustable upper/lower control arms, lowered 1.5" and i THINK 2'' in front, pinion snubber, 3.55:1, drag radials for track, tremec, lot of lightening done, back seats, spare, ...even hollowed out my spoiler a bit. timing is set depending on track/street use. injectors but dont recall how many lbs, 190/hr fuel pump, polyeurethane all around. maf sensor, again dont recall what size...would have to look
my problem seems to be i run 13.5-13.8 consistently...i see guys dipping into 12s with similar mods....ive let other people track my car....same times....am i missing something obvious here?

What kind of dyno numbers are you seeing? What is your 60 ft time? Mid 13s does seem a little low for those mods

maybe its the driver mod. lol jk. Your numbers do seem a little low for your mods. I would just check over everything such as making sure you are hitting your hp numbers, fine tune the suspension, tire pressure, etc.

+2 on hp numbers. Might not be tuned right?

car has not been dynoed....my 60 ft times are 1.5-1.6....i run a jet chip that i did the phone line call in for.....and im an objective person, i took into consideration it might be me, two other people went down the track with my car and had the same experience that i do with it...."its just not making the power it should"

I think it's hard to say without the horsepower numbers. From the looks of it everything else looks like you should reach those quarter mile numbers.

im not all that serious about the thing and to get the thing on a dyno its gonna cost me about a grand....so if im missing something obvious under my nose, i want to deal with that first ya know???
for example its been suggested to me that with the setup i have, a 2bbl carb would basically be the equivelant of what i have b/c of my stock throttle body....if that is really a stupid mod that just needs to be done, i want to do it before i start dumpingi money to get on a dyno

A throttle body could hold you back. Especially with all the efi and tuning stuff. I would look into getting all the supporting mods and compare your car to similar people running in the 12s.
