What'll it take to get a 12 sec '02 GT???
 

I'm thinking of getting a 5-speed '02-'03 GT. I know little to nothing about modular stangs, so your help would be appreciated. If I throw on Eibach drag launch springs, Steeda TA, CAI, 3.73 gears, and either a o/r h/x pipe or MAC prochamber.......what times should I run. Then, what'll it take to run 12's? Can I throw 125-150 hot of N2O and get there or better?

Are the stock intake, heads, headers ok in the '02?

Thanks guys in advance. :D

Ported heads,
cams,
honed intake (Bullitt or SVO)
3.73 or 4.10
X pipe
mufflers. lol
and good ole longtubes.

I think that's good for mid 12s???

Thanks Los.

I could be wrong, but, there is a rumor that a guy is doing low 12s with only head work, gears, exhaust and shifter.

I saw the car and it looked low 13s to me, but whatever. Maybe it was a bad day.

Is the stock FPR adjustable? Anyone raise/lower/tweak it with a dyno tune?

Here's everything you need right from Steeda. The whole package was designed with Ford and Steeda. They even say that the dealer will work on this setup//

There is no FPR on an 02 and up, the fuel injection system is a returnless type, fuel pressure is regulated at the pump. About the only adjustable feature is the ignition timing (after an adjustable timing set-up is installed), I suppose with intake, exhaust, and timing, you could probably squeeze another 10-20 hp out of the mod motor. Back before 11/01, I used to rag on the baby cammers, but after buying one, I've found alot of respect for the 4.6 Its a good engine, especially when you look at the hp and tq #'s 260 hp and 300 ft/lbs of torque. Compared to the 5.0's peak of 225/300.

True...and is it true the #'s are slightly conservative too? I wish I could keep me 5.0 and get the 4.6, but unfortunately it's one or the other. :(

See signature and web site for what it takes to hit 12's NA without a power adder or porting/motor work.
