I have a 04 gt auto with a x pipe, catback, cai, t-body and upper plenium, and a tune and my best time is a 14.416 and a 2.178 60foot. I want to go mid to low 12s and I was thinking about a 125 shot and a converter. Is that possible?

4.10 gear, converter, long tubes...


If you want to spray, use a 3.73 gear; I'd keep the shot around 100.

I think as your car stands, with just a 100 shot, you should be high 12's.

12.0's are a def. with a 100 shot of NX w/4.10s on an auto.

I myself went 12.40 on an NX 75shot with my stock auto, only mods x+catback 75shot and MT Drag Radials. Spraying off the line btw.

I'm with ShapeShifter. A 100 shot would get you deep into the 12s. You can spring for the converter if you want, but you won't be able to take advantage of it without sticky tires.

On a different note, where are you racing? A 14.4 sounds pretty slow for the mods you have.

NX Kit.

If you're spraying off the line, those Nittos will NOT hold up.

The Juice Hits HARD off the line....I suggest Hoosier or MT Drag Radials.

As far as the converter, its a great upgrade but as said above you'll definitely need some stickier tires with it.

I have a 3800 Stall in mine and while I'm NA now, It bites hard off the line.....Feels the exact same when i was juicing off the line with a stock converter.

Well, I sold the kit since I hadn't used it for close to a year. After I had installed my cams, I started getting this tick/knock in my motor...was led to believe it was a tensioner, so since the timing chain kits are somewhat expensive I sold the NX Kit to pay for the timing chain kit aswell as labor. Well, turns out my tick/knock sound is still there, LOL.

I would like to get another kit tho, go for that 11.80 or so.
