I need help choosing my next modifications. With my currant combo, I ran a 13.4 (without the N2O) at 4500FT of elevation, by comparison 06 Mustang GTs run low 15s to high 14s here. I want to break into the 12s all motor before I spray.

This will be tricky to analyze, since I run at a fake track that has no 60FT. times, or MPH. My 13.4 run was made with a stock FPR with the fuel pressure being at 50 psi @ WOT and the ports on my Typhoon are a lot smaller than the Trick Flow ports. I have fixed my fuel pressure problem. The only thing I don’t really want to change are the rear-end gears and my cam.

So my current upgrade lists looks like this, feel to make your suggestions/changes.
1. Have Tmoss port my lower, I think the mismatched ports are hurting me bad.

2. Control arms, drag struts/shocks (using stock stuff now)

3. Advance cam 4*, I hear the stage 1 cam runs awesome like this.

4. This is a distant number 4. I want to try long tube headers, but not sure the performance will be worth the money headers are $230 + $130 x-pipe and $300 cat-back=$600 for a few HP



Let’s hear your inputs guys, I want a 12 sec all motor car.

what is your air fuel ratio. At that altitude it is probably very rich. if you are not tuned for the alt you could pick up a lot of hp with a good tune. Also get the suspension stuff for your next mod. it will help you the most.

I haven't taken my car to get tuned yet, but you are right with my old combo, my A/F was very rich. I was launching at 4500rpm running 26x8.5-15 ET drags and my car was hooking hard, but I guess you can never have enough traction. I am leaning towards Steeda Adj. Uppers and not sure which lower yet, it will either be Lakewood Traction Action bars, or the HPM Mega bite jr.s

Keep them coming guys

why dont you want to change your gears?

I think it would put you where you want to be and it is a relativly cheap upgrade

Well I already have 3.73s and I do some highway driving. With the 3.73s, I am turing 2500+ RPM @ 75mph. If I go more gear, I don't think she will be to good on the highway.
