i know that gears and drags are worth 50 hp in the 1/4...so make sure that he just doesnt go throwing money into the engine b/c if you cant get off the line then you arent going to be able to throw down good times. and if he really is concerned with his 1/4 times and only that, tell him to avoid lowering springs-since they are stiffer they dont allow for the weight transfer, thus making more tire spin.

More power than your average bolt on is going to give him. Headwork/Cams, Forced induction, displacement, or nitrous. Don't see him cracking 110mph any other way.
if he can get a P&P and stage 2 cams, that will give him a lot! definately needs to look into to that b/c without that it will be tough.
 
If thats with drag radials or slicks he should trap at about 104 or 105 if he can really shift. It also depends on the intake. It will be lower if he goes with the Bullitt intake than if he goes with the P51 intake which has been proven to definitely increase trap speed. Your buddy needs to lok into cams and heads if he plans on trapping over 110....or a simple 100 shot

Agree'd, that's why I listed it in his "need to do" list.....

...otherwise, it's not going to be difficult, it will be impossible.
 

of course it'll move the cats, but it's a aftermkt bolt-on, they will fit. and the timing adjuster you can buy online at www.steeda.com unless you have a shop around you.

you mean 4.10 gears. 4.11's were in the 9in rears.
 

just get an offroad pipe since you'll have to change it anyway, stock Catted pipes have 4 cats. aftermarket ones only have 2.
 
Mustangs use a true dual exhaust F-Bodies don't, there for it needs at least two converters. On Mustangs the front two are pre-cats that do the super heating and the last 2/4 are the ones that convert the exhaust.

Still though what are the mods to the Z28? To run those time you need more than hopes and dreams.
 
its cool ur doing all this research on how ur bud can beat you. on mustangs the H-pipes are horrible. they rob so much power. with your simple bolt-ons, mild cams and gears he should be right with you. i cant see him trap so high though. how come the f-bodies trap so high? could the 6-spd make that mcuh of a diff or is it the intake work you have done?
