Wanting 425rwhp..idea's?

[Chuckie B]

well, as you said with exhaust, I would get some headers and a midpipe. that will get your power about where you want.

as for suspension- are you looking for 1/4 mile times, or handling?

1/4 mile all day long...i could careless about the turns...going straight and doing it fast is my style
just sucks that i cant do it @ the track here. guy that owns the track around here changed where verts cant go faster than a 13.5 without a bar...so my plans are to just get the timing of the light down. get a good 60ft for a few runs n then have at it with an all out run. thinking 12.5's-12.70's n getting tossed lol. Suspension mods would obv help big time.

cheap improvement is always great but u get what u pay for...depends on what "pricey" add's up too...just throw me your idea's and prices on both of what ur getting at

MORE BOOST

yahh i think i should let the car breath more with longtubes and i want to do an o/r pipe but inspection time idk if i wanna deal with the hassle...be4 i put more pressure on the motor...i could add prob the 10psi pulley with my kb air kit would b 11psi which would add another 15rwhp plus a 75mm throttle body and be around 415 hp or so...but idk? like i said i'm open 2 idea's.

new clutch

haha yahh ikk shady i just gotta figure out which clutch i wanna do. every1s got their own opions on clutches and id wanna have 2 do it twice.

well, for starters, an Eibach drag kit with some 70/30 struts and adjustable rear shocks will help out. you can find them at americanmuscle.com

That what I was thinking....Especially If he only went for 12 or so as he mentioned!

 

[Chuckie B]

yah idk people always say that 10psi on a stock motor is pushing it pretty hard..but maybe i'll look into running 12psi with headers & offroad mid pipe.

well the eibach drag kit says for a coupe and i have a convertable? is this going 2 make a difference?.... and would u recomend the
Tokico kit?

or the
eibach kit?
http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-shocks-7904v8.html

ik u said the 70/30 struts but american muscle doesnt sell a sperate adjustable rear shock? so would it be better 2 just go with either of those kits?

 

[Chuckie B]

...?

 

[Stangerang]

Throw some LT's. For starters, not only will the car breath better, your boost should drop 1-2lbs.

With the power your running now, theres no reason why your not closer to the high 11 sec. mark. But, could be many factors, ie. track condition, tire, driver mod, etc. Anyways, full exhaust should help you get to the "ideal" rwhp range.

 

[Chuckie B]

I cant take my car to the track. to know really what my car runs, i have to put a bar on my car bc the guy that owns the track made it where verts cant run faster than 13.5...i' dont see my car doing high 11's tho. with all the video's of mustangs with my same mod's they're all around 12.50's...ik depends on the track,driver,weather etc. but ik i can drive my car so driver mod isn't the issue...my cars more for the street than the track...just Kenne Bell says that on the 2v 4.6L don't expect much from exhaust mods.

 

[Chuckie B]

but if people had 2 suggest. what set of longtubes and mid pipe to go with my flowmaster american thunder cat back?

hmmm, i forgot that.

perhaps somebody here could tell? from what i know, the differences in vert/coupe springs is an extra coil for the weight in the rear. I dont want to give a dead set answer, since I am not completely sure myself.

the D-specs would be a good choice if you were to go coil-overs, which would also drop some weight. but since you want a decent price, i still would say go with a basic set of 70/30's up front. Check summitracing for rear shocks.

other bits that will help you out at the track will be ditching the 'dogbone' on the rear(basically a dead weight, iirc), removing front swaybar(but you WILL handle differently). also when you run, take out the spare, jack, etc to shed a few more pounds.

 

[Stangerang]

I just realized you had a vert.

Honestly, I believe LT's with a decent mid pipe will help overall. I think any set would do....but if your willing to dish out for a good set, you cant go wrong with American Racing Headers. Don't know about vert.'s, but I've seen hardtops with around your power hitting high 11s, with DRs. Of course variables such as track. prep and weather play into the role, but your combo is definitely capable of it, I've seen it. well again, these are for coupes...

 

[Chuckie B]

Yah i'd like 2 do the american racing headers but idk if i like the x pipe sound...i can afford the headers n mid pipe its just comming up with the $ for the install...

^I heave heard that long tubes are a pain in the you know what too!
