Stock 1/4 mile and 0-60 times for a TON of cars!!! ^_^ Well, not all of them... But alot ;) OK this is just something i thought yall would find interesting. This is not my list and i do not take credit for it. List is by Mario777 of CarForums.net Zero to 60 & 1/4 Miles Times This collection of 0-60 and 1/4 mile times has been accumulated from many different sources over the past few years. These sources include vehicle testing done by "the experts" at Car & Driver, Motor Trend, Road & Track, various written auto publications and from the auto manufacturers themselves. The list below provides "factory stock" road test figures for most of the Makes & Models of "production" vehicles that are available in the United States...
PLEASE ONLY PM ME WITH YOUR NEW OR UPDATED TIMES/MODS. If you only post your mods/times they will most likely be overlooked and not added. This is the official ET/MPH list. PM me any relevant info on your run, aka time slips and videos. Also list your mods, try and follow the format you see below. If you dont have the time to follow the format, ill organize your info, but any help is appreciated. Suggestions are welcomed. We will use only vehicles relevant to this forum. I only used 1/8th on my personal run because I have not hit the 1/4 yet, but send what you have. Lets get a list going guys and gals... Stock, modified, whatever!!!!

Good day, I have the need for speed but unfortunately I don’t know how fast I am going. I have a 302 swapped 2 door sport with no working Speedo I was wondering if anyone can help me. It’s a 97 body 00 5.0 engine and ecu 04 mustang transmission 4r70 8:8 rear i did the swap 5 years ago, I remember I had to pin out the tach in order to get it to read correctly but I don’t remember having to do it for the Speedo. it has the sensor in the rear. I swapped it out with a new one but had no effect. im new to the forums and was not sure were to post this but since the truck was built with the idea of speed implied I figure I would come here. thank you.
Hopefully this will be my last thread before the swap actually begins. Copying & Pasting from my thread on TRS because I know there is a lot of experience here that doesn't seem to visit there much. Thinking about @410Fortune in particular. Will likely post in other forums and groups as well to collect as much information as possible. I'm preparing for my engine swap to hopefully start in about a month. Planning for the week of president's day and to have the full week to dedicate to the swap. The intent is to roll the donor into the shop on a Saturday, and roll out a V8 swapped Ranger on the following Saturday or Sunday. I will have a few weekends following to iron out issues, but it would be best if it's moving under its own power...
How much can be done to a 5.0L explorer without requiring tuning? Doing the swap on my '99 Ranger. Longblock I'm going to use initially is from a '98 Explorer, everything else is from a '00 Explorer. The '00 Explorer engine will be saved and built for later installation, and truck will be tuned then. Don't really want to be stuck with only what's left of the stock 215 HP until then. I recall reading several years ago when I got the '98 engine, that using 1.7 rockers with the Explorer cam put it about on par with a stock Mustang cam. The engine was purchased for a different project that never happened, but the plan was always to use Explorer EFI and really build the engine later. With that in mind I purchased and installed a set of...
I'm in the planning and gathering stages to 5.0L swap my 99 Ranger. Ideally I'd find a 1999-2001 V8 AWD Explorer or Mountaineer. I almost had the right year and V8 Mountaineer today, but no AWD and it sold before I got off work. I'm not near being ready for it, but was going to take advantage of a good price and location. Still will if the right deal appears. I actually already have a 1998 Explorer 5.0L 2wd drivetrain sitting here unused. I got to thinking, since I've got time anyway, why nmot start collecting parts to convert and use that drivetrain. If I get everything great, if I find a donor first, tit'll be spare paarts. I know that there are probably several fuel system differences between the 98 and 99 Explorers, but since...
Hey! (Yes I’m aware there has been plenty of posts like this.) I have a few questions I’d like to spit out however. I want to turbo my 4.0 V6 SOHC. It’s a brand new engine. New tranny as well, so it’s almost asking for a boost. I don’t really want to go remote or rear-mounted. has anybody ever fabricated a header for there 4.0s? Or used a crossover? I’m interested to hear how everyone has turbod their x’s and how they did it. Any recommendations for me? Thank you!
What’s out there these days for stock 5.0 PCM tuning options? I have an old SCT X3 with tunes from Henson Performance but I believe those are as good as useless now since he is no longer doing tuning? I would like the option of being able to do my own tweaking but still use a software that has support and could get professional help with, possibly a “base tune” for a given configuration. Any recommendations or shared experiences would be great. I am possibly looking at a boosted application down the road. I have seen Tweecer mentioned but I don’t know anything about it.
Where are the you guys at? Mine is sitting right around 6 secs with my tuning and 89 octane fuel. Link for my YouTube upload. This is my 2 door stock engine, stock intake, stock manifold, Maximizer headers, custom Henson stainless 3" exhaust to the rear (all Tig welded by me with all mandrel bends and v-band connections) with a Kooks muffler and tip. The vehicle is stock otherwise down to the 3:73 gear. I will take to the track when it opens back up to see what she runs. Let's wake this Need For Speed forum back up!!!! Post 'em up! :thumbsup:
OK, I know this isn't the right section but I need some visibility. 2015 F-250 Company Truck (106,000 Miles) Had a rough start issue on colder mornings so I figured spark plugs. Since it's a lease truck we can't work on them. Dealer came back and said spark plugs and the Electronic Throttle Body is failing. Never had any symptoms of that. Parts will not be available till Wednesday. Monday I am scheduled to go back to Miami (1,000 Miles and 13 Hours 1 way) We have an F-250 in the shop yard that I could use but I would have to transfer about 1,000 lbs of service tools that I need for the job. A real turd of a job because I basically live in my truck. QUESTION: Anyone have experience with a failing throttle body? Do they just go...
I'm abandoning my old thread (My new 347), as the motor has been an epic fail for many reasons. Against any sane reason, I'm trying again. Post #1 is a thread with all parts for my own records. I'll keep adding to this as I have the time and know what parts are being used. New (Used) unmolested factory block from Vroomzoomboom. Thanks Tim!

so i have a 2 door sport, 302 swapped with some tasteful mods and some nitrous. So I started off with a zex kit. Upgraded to a nos sniper kit. The thing is with the zex kit I was able to tie into my TPS sensor and have nitrous activate while only at WOT With the nos sniper kit I was given a micro switch that is activated by the throttle body lever that closes the circuit for the solenoids when activated at WOT Has anyone mounted a micro switch? If so how did you got about it. Thanks
