How to Drag Race Your 10 Speed Mustang GT!! (Best Mode/steps by step!)

[@AxelMerced]

Just got my first Mustang, so as a result I’m new to the channel after wanting to find content related around Mustangs. Would love to continue hearing all your knowledge in this world. I am here for the Long run, I can never see myself never having a Mustang now.

Can’t remember if you mentioned this in other videos, but have you tried launching the car in 2nd gear? Ford supposedly achieved the best 0-60 time for the HPP EcoBoost Mustang by launching the 10R80 in second gear.

[@ItalianStallion410]

Yeah we did try with my buddy’s car and that only works good for boosted mustangs

Nice bro

[@11B_GRUNT]

Bro this was a good video, I always use track mode when racing. I never used the drag strip mode because it seemed like it hit the rev limiter and wouldnt shift itself up when I had the shifter in sport mode

[@ItalianStallion410]

Thanks brother

[@11B_GRUNT]

So after you do your burnout and back up, you put the gear in sport and take off from the line and you don't have to use the paddle shifters? It'll automatically shift on its own? In drag strip mode?

[@Clutch_Kick187]

If you don't have the stock tires and wheels you need to have your tune worked on.. The shift points are affected when you change diameter of the tires..

whats the best mode for roll racing, I normally use drag mode and turn off trac go to the lowest gear floor it shift back into D and then back into S. But Ive heard people say that track mode and sport mode are better for roll racing. What do you think is the best mode for roll racing?

I use drag strip mode too some times both work good

[@chadjones7722]

Been looking for info on how to best launch with the 10 speed, 19 pp1, full stock, just put 305 Nitto 555 g2's on the rear didn't know the sport mode on rear of the selector would shift for you in drag mode so havent tried it. Also the transmission sometimes shits hard out of 1-2nd, but almost immediately into 3rd on occasion so its killing my 0-60 time. Wonder if that would be fixed with the shifting into sport trick or if i need to turn off advance traction control first, typically i have not. It's the daily driver and was plenty fast for fun, but I want to drag it more now and wouldn't mind feedback. Im sure a tune will help, i'll look to that next. Car makes good power, but the "how to" is the hard part on drag racing the 10 speed. Sure you can just stage and send it but it definitely isn't it's fastest without some more know how.

[@ItalianStallion410]

You’ll prolly need a good tire for the rear so you’ll hook up with the 10 speed they shift hard and will knock the tires off on the 1-2 shift all the time

[@chadjones7722]

much more concerned with why i get an occasional early shift from 2-3, some spin is ok, but it shouldnt be killing the power like im seeing that quickly, will attempt to manually turn off the nanny controls and see if it gets better, the 305 nittos are good enough (brand new) to hook after not too much spin 1-2@@ItalianStallion410

@@chadjones7722 if it’s in drive the normal mode has more safety things to stop it from spinning in the tune so that will cause it to shift early

[@Coyote9smilespergallon]

You can turn off advanced trac at any time even going down the road just by holding the trac control button until the info pops up like you did. And the S on the shifter I think is for Standard/Manual mode to shift yourself I think although my 10spd has a mind of it own sometimes even in the S Mode lol, I wish I had mine running as strong as yours at least til I boost it. Good stuff tho Jake!

Do u leave advance off and u floor it ?

[@stevensink5544]

Hey Jake I was just in a conversation about the line lock and I wasn’t going to chime in about the 160 * T-Stat but I just wanted to give you some food for thought! I’m in my mid 50’s and have had multiple supercharged Fox body cars a couple of stroker small block cars and an all out 8500 rpm pushrod small block bracket race car! My point is I had a supercharged daily that ran 11.80’s at 116 mph with 327 gears and i changed the gears to 373 which should have netted 2-3 mechanical tenths in the quarter mile and I went from the stock 197 T Stat to a 160 at the same time and my car slowed down to a 12.14 at 114 mph which was crazy to me?? So I back tracked and took the gear out and now I’m going 12.30’s I couldn’t figure it out. So I took the 160 T stat out and the car went back to the 11.80 at 116 mph then I put the 373 gears back in and went 11.50 at 120 mph I couldn’t figure it out? The explanation I got was the T stat left the car in cold start mode and it was excessively rich now I don’t know if the Coyote cold start is the same but I had no idea that the Fox EFI would be in cold start at 160*

[@ItalianStallion410]

My dad told me the exact same thing about his foxbody and how nobody would run the 160 one only 170 I am gonna head back to the track soon and see if it makes a difference I saved my stock one just to be safe thanks for the advice I appreciate all the info it’s crazy how you think the car would be making more power if it’s running at cooler temps but it ends up hurting it

You ride in cars with a automatic but you DRIVE cars with the manual. Real car enthusiasts DRIVE THEIR CARS. p.s. automatics aren't faster in a straight line because of the speed of the shift, but because of the installed factory gear ratios. Manufacturers are manipulating people into buying automatic in preparation for self driving electric vehicles.
