13.999999???
I'm looking at what I might be able to afford this year for my car. I would like to put on some MAC pullies, FMS 3.73's, and either a Pro-5.0 or Steeda Tri-Ax shifter (Not sure which is a better shifter). With all these and my current set up (2.5" off road H-pipe, 2.5" Dynomax Cat back, no air silencer,14 degree timing and K&N filter) could I hit below 14.0?
I don't need to be solidly in the 13's, but even just 13.99 would be good enough. Is it possible in my car? ------------------ White 1995 Mustang GT Dynomax Cat-Back, Offroad H-pipe, K&N Filters w/o Air Silencer My 1995 Mustang GT |

I think you can get 13's with those mods and good traction. As long as you are racing at a reasonable alttitude.

The track is around 1500 feet, and the temperature should be around 60 degrees. I have Yokohama A520's 245/45/ZR17's. I've heard from some other guys that they bite really well, but I'll have to see. They do give excellent traction on the street with my current set up.
I don't have the money to change my exhaust set up, so I'll leave it alone. I'm also worried that if I put headers on I'll lose power with no back pressure. I didn't see a MAC shifter in my price lists. There is a guy in town that sells all kinds of MAC parts at awesome prices (for Canada anyway). Will upper and lower control arm make that much difference? I don't want to go stepper than 3.73's because I do a fair bit of freeway driving and my wife nags about the gas I use already . ------------------ White 1995 Mustang GT Dynomax Cat-Back, Offroad H-pipe, K&N Filters w/o Air Silencer My 1995 Mustang GT |

Dont waste your money on the shifter yet. It will give you more consistant shifts and it feels cool but it wont realy help your e.t. I would save the 200 bucks and get a set of drag radials. The pulleys are cheap and worth the money, I used march and havent had any problems at all. A full exhaust will hurt your et, I wouldnt be suprised if what you have now without the cats already did. Definitely get the 373's, I just bought a set of 355's and upr+lower cont arms, I hope to install them this weekend and I will let you know how they work. With 373's, pulleys, Drag Radials, and your exhaust work, you should be able to slide by. Just get some practice lauching with them.
