LOW 12's with bolt ons???

update:
12.15 @ 112.8 N/A stock longblock auto
non gutted 3530# on the line pump gas 93octane
it's all in the fine tuning and getting the power to the ground ....and you need decent weather. last week i had a DA of 800ft. so it was a good day but we can see DA's as low as -1000 here on the east coast so at some point this fall i'll go 11.99 or quicker just ?

a fella in the Mustang Club I frequent (http://www.southfloridastangs.net) has an 05 that pulled a 12.6 N/A with simple bolt-ons. To me, it's amazing what he got out of this car with so few mods. I almost feel like I'm forgetting a mod he has but this is what I remember from talking to him...

What he's got:
CAI
SCT Tune
X-Pipe
Flowmaster Axle-Back
4.10's
Hurst Shifter of some sort

STOCK SUSPENSION & NO WEIGHT REDUCTION!!!

His times

Best run 1/4 mile:
60ft-1.710
12.625 secs@ 108.05mph on M/T E.T. Streets

Best run 1/4 Mile:
60ft-1.999
13.052 secs@ 108.90mph on Nittos D/R

My goal is to get as close to that as possible if not beat that now haha. I have the same mods basically (different companies but whatever) and I pulled a 12.9 out of mine with stock gears, o/r h pipe, stock mufflers, cai, "canned" 91 tune from c&n, and the stock 235 pirelli's....track is open tomorrow...hmmm

My Headers only made 8rwhp on the dyno

That's a first that I have seen. My friend's went from 285 with a canned tune to 320/330 just by getting a tune...

do a search with my screen name and 12.46 and you should find it.

I believe the performance mods were as follows on a fully optioned (except for Shaker 1000 and side air bags) full weight car with a dynamatted interior.
It also was lowered on Steeda Sport Springs with full roadrace suspension (stock shocks at the time). This is running stock wheels all around.

Stock 13.65
C&L Street & Diablo canned 93 octane tune 13.25
BFG D/R 275 40 17" 12.95
Steeda U/D pulleys 12.85
JBA Longtube Headers and Catted H-Pipe 12.69 no retune for the exhaust
4.10 gears 12.46

I never did CMRC delete plates on the car since I intended to install a blower.
I only installed the Centerforce D/F clutch and Fidanza aluminum flywheel in preparation for the blower mid summer. The driveshaft was done after the blower install also.


Yes I had good weather

There are a lot of good ideas here. Stock GT's run 13.8-13.9 between 100-101 mph. That mph is good for a low low low 13. Being these cars are pigs out of the whole the best place to start is gears, 4.10 manual, 3.73 auto. A good CAI with a tune, underdrive pulley kit, CMCV delete plates. With good air and traction that should get you into high 12's. Slicks and maybe fine tune the PCM on a dyno possible low 12's, being exhaust gives you almost no power when your on motor alone I would'nt invest in it until you see what the other stuff does for you. Good luck.
