Do you want to keep it stock (down to the silencer) ? if not, you can probably knock yout ET down a little by tossing the silencer, check the air pressure in your tires... lower them, raise them, see what works best considering the tires youre using. Disconnect your front sway bar, and if you ice down your intake my guess is you could be in the 14.3-14.1 range

Nice times, if you could have gotten you 60 ft time down to a 2.0 on your last run, I think you could have ran at least 14.1-14.2 Ets. Do the free mod stuff(timing,sway bar, silencer etc.) I can see you breaking into the 13s. good luck

Nice times man Have you considered installing a limitid slip diff. ? That would probably help with your traction issues. I have a Ford Racing Auburn LSD and my stang hooks great even with the semi bald tires.

Unless your Traction Lok is shot you have a limited slip diff. If you were spinning only one tire on launches then your T Lok is shot. You can buy a rebuild kit for about 45 bucks.

Like the guys are saying free stuff first. Advance the timing to 14 degrees unless you start getting detonation, swaybar, silencer. Play around with tire pressure until you find the right pressure for your car. The other big thing is practice, practice practice.

Depending on how much you want to mod your stang and race it I would look into some subframe connectors, a good set of lower control arms and some good tires.

Then start on motor boltons and such. Power is no good if you can't get it to the pavement.
