Will this COMBO run me 11's from running 14.20??

jz_mustang50 · 09-25-2001, 10:24 PM

OK... I have a 91 Mustang GT. The following mods is the configuration I ran with running a 14.29@95
-Auto with a Shift Kit (stock stall converter)
-Aluminum Drive Shaft
-4.10 Gears
-New POSI
-Hoosier Quicktime PRO 27x10.5x15
-Electric Fan
-No-Cats' 2 1/2 H-Pipe
-2 1/2 Flowmasters with 2 1/2 tailpipes
-Removed Smog pump and got short belt
-Jegs brand adjust. upper and lower control
arms adjusted to stock length. (metal bushings everwhere except poly. at upper control arm at the axle)
-Sub Frame Connectors (bolted on at this point)
-Back Seats removed and some rear sound deading

Everything else is stock on the car... It has nearly all options including a/c. Everything is still in place except for the rear seats so it should be close to stock weight.

What I want to know what HEADS/INTAKE/CAM/INJECTORS/THROTTLE BODY/MAF/HEADERS/TRANS MOD. (i want to keep my shortblock the same!!) that I will need to run high 11's. People say its possible with just those mods. Please let me know what you would suggest to acheive this if what i have listed below if a BUNCH OF BULL.

What was suggested to me was Trickflow Alum Twist Wedge 2.02 STAGE 2 PORTED (possibly milled to increase compression). Trickflow TRACK HEAT intake (box stock). Stage 2 Trickflow cam, 24lb (maybe 30) injectors. 75mm TB and 80mm MAF. Suggested also was a C4 trans. with a 3000 stall converter. I'm planning on getting long tube 1 5.8- 1 3/4 headers with 3 inch collectors. What do you think this would get me in the 11s in the 1/4? I know I'll need a roll cage running 11's so i'm excited. For once I will have the money!! I want to do this without any power adders, all motor!!! PLEASE HELP :-)

I dont think that with milled TW heads you would be able to run the stage 2 cam. P/V clearance problems.

If your going to swap tranny's why not get a 5 speed, it will get you closer to your goals of running high 11's with that combo.

Yes it can be done, but don't mill the heads.

I agree don't mill the heads if you want to use stock pistons, if you mill them go to 58cc and notch your factory pistons and get a custom cam. My AFM cam made a huge difference in my motor and I made a device very similar to the TEA so I could fly cut the pistons while still in the block. They rent it for $50 plus shipping.

Look at my mods: The car should go 11's with cool weather and with the 4:30's that the cam is ground for I am hoping for 11.50's when it is all said and done. I am going to a set of 30# injectors and a 75mm TB as well. My car weighs 3170 with me, and it is doesn't have the back seat because of the way my cage is with a X brace to the shock towers.

If you stay with the Automatic you are going to need a lot more stall, I like Sky's idea about a 5 spd, that would make it easier.
