This is true. Keep in mind, if you get your car tuned in the middle of the summer, and run it hard in the cold of winter, your "safe" summer tune may be "unsafe" in the winter. A supercharged car makes more boost when it is cold than when it is hot. I blew my motor (non-intercooled) in...

Depends on setup of suspension, tires, weight and weight distribution. I went 12.90 w/ 265rwhp. I went 11.49 w/451rwhp. Both times with the same basic suspension and tires (well, 12.90 was on 275/50/15s, 11.49 on 275/60/15s). I'd like to know what it will take to run 10s too! I'm going...

Not necessarily. For example, I trap at 120-121 MPH with 4.10s and 28" tires. My rpms are about 6000 at the traps (i've looked at the tach at the traps). Since I've set my rev-limiter to 6500 rpms, I have another 500 rpms to play with (by adding more power) before I run out of gear. If I...

The key to running 12s N/A is getting the car to transfer its weight from front to rear at the launch. I was able to run a 12.90 with 265 rwhp (I had cams but no longtubes and no UDPs). I removed the A/C and the front swaybar. Installed adjustable struts so that they would extend fully...

If I had to do it over again ... I'd do 4.10s, sticky rubber, LCAs, and a Vortech kit for the stock car (not a tuner kit), and I think I would have been really happy. To get a little bit more out of the car, I would add a throttle body and plenum, an aftermarket x-pipe with cats, and a...

My first goal this year is to make a pass! I broke a piston on my last pass of the 2010 season when I ran a 11.76 at 117, so ... New MMR750 shortblock (being built as we speak) upgraded MAF 60 pound injectors (currently 39 pounders) Cobra tank with twin pumps (currently SVT Focus)...

I dunno, if I were going to all the trouble of rebuilding my shortblock, then my car better be making somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 ponies at the tires, preferably with some forced induction. Why go to tons of trouble just to pick up 5 horses here, 2 horses there, etc. with each little...

I made 416rwhp/373rwtq. Since I last posted I ran a couple more times. My best time is now 12.10 at 115MPH.

Lots of good info here. Tires: the compound is more important than the width, but wider > narrower. You're going to need some sticky tires. I use M/T ET Street Radials. I've got full traction in 2nd gear. I'm making 415 rwhp. LCAs: critical in keeping the car from stepping out to the...

I have an 04 Mustang GT also that was just supercharged with the same basic setup. I don't have long tube headers but I do have a Comp 262AH cam, but otherwise the cars are close. I took it to the track last Saturday (Fords at Englishtown) to shake it down. After 3 runs I was putting down...

Is this still for sale? If this is the model that injects based on boost level then I'm interested.

Hey OP, you wanna shock yourself? Get some drag radials (you could put some on a set of cheap wheels if you don't want to spend big $$$ on wheels right now) for the track. Do that, and put in some 4.10 gears. Next time you go to the track with those 2 mods, you will be running as much as a...

I have a 5-speed N/A and I'm really glad I switched to 4.10s (had 3.73s and I'm in the mode where I want to shave every little bit off my ET without going to a blower). I think I drive more aggresively now though, since the car just seems to surge forward on every gear shift now!!!

2004 GT 5-speed 3.73s Comp 262AH and some bolt-ons (265rwhp/299rwtq) Welds (big and littles) with M/T ET Street radials A/C delete, front sway bar delete, adjustable struts, MM XD LCAs, no spare/jack, passenger seat removed, battery in the trunk 12.90 at 104.64 (1.75 60') at Atco Raceway...

Nice run! You're oh so close to 12s! BTW, I was never able to get even into the 13.20s until I changed from 315/35/17 Nitto 555Rs over to 275/50/15 M/T ET Street Radials. Now my best time to date is 12.907 (also at Atco) and have a bunch of 13.0xx runs. (I have a 5-speed 2004 GT with...

Remembering when my car was stock ... It seemed to "hit a wall" around 5000 rpms. Some Comp 262 cams, plenum, CAI, throttle body, catted X-pipe and cat-back later ... it pulls hard right through redline.

What you had done I also had done as my first mods. I picked up 13rwhp (but with a dyno-tune and a CAI).

2004 Mustang GT 5-speed. My best was a 13.20 at 104MPH with a 1.83 60'. I've only been racing for one season and I think I can knock another tenth or two off with more seat time on the track. BTW I weigh about 270 lbs so that doesn't help things LOL! Mods: For "booking": 3.73 gears...

If you are doing any dragracing, do not get the "heavy duty" MM LCAs, as the bushings WILL break at the strip. It happened to me and then I switched to their Extreme Duty LCAs. They work very well.
