Will this combo get me 13's??

Stang_Crazy · 01-12-2002, 04:59 PM

I plan on having: Electric fan, Aluminum radiator, Pulleys, 75mm MAF, 4.10's and 245/45 Nitto DR's. I know the radiator and fan won't net alot of horsepower (if any) but they will help when I add heads next winter and they should keep my car running pretty cool this summer.

Are headers next on my mod list?? I figured with the MAF, and exhaust I already have, the headers would be restricting some of the increased airflow.

So could I hit a high 13 with these mods?? Feel free to make any suggestions about things I should change (maybe 3.73's instead of 4.10's)

If you can grab a good 60ft time then you should definately see 13's.

Just to make sure you'll hook ok go ahead and pull the swaybar out.

The Nitto Drag Radials I have didn't start hooking good till about 1/4 of the tread was gone. I guess they just needed breaking in. So you'll need to burn the crap out of them until they're broken in.

Actually the fan is what got me my first 13sec pass, i got some good power gains, i also removed front swaybar, i used to be a firm believer in 4.10s, but 373's are probaly better so you dont have to go to 5th gear on the strip, some people dont have to if their motor can pull high rpms in 4th (heavily modded), but for near stock id get 373.

If you can't decide between 3.73's and 4.10's then don't get either. Go for the 3.90 gear that companies are finally starting to sell for the 8.8"
