mid 13's?

StoplightWarrior · 03-19-2001, 10:06 PM

I hate asking questions like this, but maybe someone here has some experience similar to this.
Once my suspension stuff is in, Im going to do: 4.10 Gear, Hi flo X-pipe, and Steeda pullies. Now keep in mind Im an auto, and I figure Im running about 14.2 at the lowest right now. Then,
4.10 gear: -.4
X-pipe: -.2
pullies: -.1
= 13.5
Is this just wishful thinking, or do you think I really could hit that with those mods plus what Ive got now? Thanks.

BTW, if you guys have any better ideas for mods, feel free to make suggestions. NO BOOST right now though! Also, around $1000 total.

Pick up a Steeda Timing Adjuster. You'll pick up a good 8-10RWHP. I got 9.2RWHP (dyno proven) with this mod and the timing set to 14*. Plus look at a good set of Drag Radials otherwise you might end up spinning at the line with your new gears.

Mustang92: I was considering the Timing Adjuster, but I had two questions: If I bump the timing up, do I need to use higher Octane gas? Second, the timing adjuster is pretty noticable in the engine bay, and my car is still deep under warranty. Would the dealer make a big fuss about it?

BTW, your car is rediculous. With just those mods, you must be a great driver.

Havent done very much at all to mine and have had some very nice and suprising times so far. Time below was with out X-pipe or pulleys. Track opens in 1 1/2 weeks so I wil be chipping more time off.

Yes you will have to run higher octane. It depends on the dealer as far as warrenty goes, I had my throw out bearing replaced under warrenty and I had my offroad H pipe on the car at the time which is very noticable.

As far as my times goes I'm not a great driver but I did spend alot of time at the track learning how to drive it. That makes a world of difference. The car will go 12.8's as it sits but the clutch was slipping, I got a new one in yesterday once I get past the break in I'll have to test it out.
