Whats needed for a SN-95 5.0 to go 13's?

91LX2Bfast · 11-07-2001, 09:43 PM

I am looking to buy another Mustang soon, and I need to know what it would take for a 94-95 GT 5spd to run consistant high 13's.
I used to own a '91 LX 5.0 5spd and I know that they were pretty easy to get 13's.
I am comparing 90-92's and 94-95's. Since I already had a Fox, I would prefer to go w/ the SN-95, but if I am going to have a tough time holding off my friend's imports, I will buy a Fox.
Can I go 13's w/o slicks and w/o getting into the heads and cam? What would something like gears, full exhaust, intake manifold, TB, MAF, and shifter pull?
Or should I do a PI head swap, TC, and gears and drive a high 13 sec sleeper Tbird?
I'll welcome your opinions?

if you have the cash, i'd do the sleeper t-bird thing, but screw the high 13s, shoot for low 12's

PI heads/intake, 3000stall converter, 4.10 or 4.30 gears and about 8 pounds of boost will get that chicken fryin good

My 94 ran a 14.2 with 3.73's, full exhaust,underdrive pulleys and a few other small things. Got some drag radials, and ran a 13.8 the first time I went to the track with them. Hope this helps.

94 GT, the usual stuff
13.73@98mph
