I hope I'm not giving away secrets or making anyone mad by saying this:learn everything you can about qualifying to the 1000' line. Qualify as slow as you can then pick it up if you need to. With a decent log you can extrapolate enough to dial in to the quarter from your 1000' data. It took me a couple of years to start doing this but as the owner/builder/driver of a .6 under C/SA car I can assure you that it made all the difference. Your experience will be different with a rare stick car I'm sure but every race I go to has at least one car that can "eat my lunch" heads up and you better believe they're gunning for me! I'm just a guy on a budget trying to have fun with my old Max Wedge and it's really all good when I'm racing but I need every advantage I can think of that doesn't cost a bunch more money. Finish your car and come on in, the water's fine!

I'm just impressed you used the word Extrapolate!

"Extra-polate" Does that have to do with dentures?

The info you are seeking is not exactly a secret. I am curious as to how you are going to use a 5-speed. I assume the one it comes with?

I have been looking at several options for 5 speeds. There are a few good OEM Ford units available, like the T5 with Liberty gears and internals, G-Force also does a well built OEM T-5, then there is also the TREMEC series of trans were availalbe in many Mustang GT's.

A beefed up T5 or T45 with a modulaqr blowproof bellhousing might work. Astro Performance can build one. Hanlon Motorsports can build one with Liberty internals. Up until this year, there were a lot of Coyote Stock racers in the NMRA using a beefed T5 behind a 5.0 Coyote modular crate engine running mid 10's. If you go with a 2002-2004 Tremec 3650 that came in the Mustang GT those years it will require a Hanlon Motorsports adater to fit it to a sfi bellhousing like the Quicktime bellhousing.
