I'm a newbie to all of this, so please excuse if this is the wrong question to ask.
If you couldn't tinker yourself - at all, and you wanted your GT with a auto tranny to do 0-60 in under 5 sec, say 4.5 and keep good passing power (on or around 45-70) without loosing range (MPG) - what mods would you need and would you trust a dealer to go them? Would it be a Vortech+Magnaflow combo?

Input would be appreciated..

Douglas

I ran a 4.8 with JLT intake, JLT's DLP tune, JBA Longtubes and no cat h-pipe.

I've since had he car custom dyno tuned and the shifting firmed up. I'm sure it's quicker now but haven't had the chance to time it. I'm curious how fast it will be whenever Kenne Bell gets there kit out.

since you are a newb, i'll refrain.

I'll just say 4.10's and some good rubber will get you there. But you still should get intake, exhaust, and custom tune.

More questions..

Thanks for holding on thee flames..

What is a 4.10? Good rubber goes without saying, but I am talking a auto-tranny - this still can be done? Beat a BMW M-series off the line (It has a button for "Launch Mode") if I remember correctly. We have such curvey roads in Norway that top speed isn't a question.

I saw the "drift" Stang on Toyosweeps.com - might as well enter... With the Eibach springs, but isn't speedbumps a concern?
