I dont see why you shouldnt be at or over 300 hp with that combo. Hitting 12's will soley be up to your driving skills. I have seen low 12 second capable cars trapping 14 second timeslips b/c the owner cant drive. I am sure with some practice you will whittle those times down.

I have no problem driving at track...LOL...not that i think i do..Ive been racing since 16 im now 39...my last car was an 11 second street car before that a 12 second street car...I just hope i can develop the power to get this into the 12's...thats what im worried about...:shrug:
 
bout all you can do I suppose. actually you may only get one run in without a cage. I believe 13 sec verts and below require one to run at the track.
 
sounds like you got it all covered. not sure what you are worried about.

Im just worried that the GT40 heads are not going to give me that HP i want to reach...Plus the Track heat intake might be to big...the cam might not do enough...lol...The tune...lol..42's injectors going to be enough...im going to be using the new DBX 95mm Maf...so stuff like that..The guy doing the work well he does this for a living...lol...Thats all he does for yrs is Mustangs he specializes in building,working,fixing...them I guess i have to believe in him...:D.
 
gt40 topped cars are pushing 260-280 depending on supporting mods, add your SC and cam you should be well over the 300hp mark.


Ok thanks...Well i'll have the GT40 heads...1.7 cobra roller rockers,TF track heat intake..DBX 95mm Maf,BBK 70mm TB,42 lb injectors,255 lph GSS340 fuel pump,areomotive adjustable fuel pressure regulator,Paxton SN93 anywhere from 6-8 psi..UPR powerpipe....BBK shorty headers,Bassani Off road X-pipe,Mac cat back...Comp blower cam? or Anderson cam?...ngk tr6 plugs,MSD cap,rotor,wires,Crane ignition boost retard box,AC and Smog delete...Autometer air fuel gauge....im sure im missing stuff...lol...I hope this will run good...
