sticky's 4:30's and 3.5k stall at least....and don't forget The Jesus In A Bottle.

I'm with you bro ski! but i don't think this "first timer" aka "virgin racer" is gonna go hard like that? i'm thinking 3K stall,headers,Xpipe,CAI,tune,4.10s and hopefully a 100 shot dry will find its way on this poor turd! he might be able to run with my WS6 at that point? or not? lol

this is for a friend who just bought the car and wants more power and quickness but nothing to crazy? and no nitrous(i already suggested lol)

i suggested a PI stall(not sure what size though)
headers(maybe,maybe not?)
Xpipe
3.73 gears
CAI

any other suggestions besides seeling that car for new 5.0(which was another option lol)

i have a 2000 mustang gt automatic

i have too many individual mods to mention, but i'll share with the ones that truly made a tangible difference on my car. and by that i mean it was actually worth the money and yielded positive results at the track.

* m/t e.t. street dot slicks 26x11.5 | weld draglites 15x8 15x4

* dirty dog 10" 3,800 stall converter 2.5 tq multiplication factor. custom built by alan brown with a billet front cover and all the goodies.

* 4.56 gears w/LPW girdle

* frpp aluminum driveshaft

* welded sub frames, welded torque boxes, hotchkis control arms with poly bushings, etc..

* sct tune(s)

*full 2.5" exhaust dumped at the axle. this made a difference and virtually eliminated the drone of the standard 40s.

* i notice a difference with my asp u/d pulleys, some people don't.

* weight reduction. i.e. rear seat delete, front sway bar delete, remove all carpeting from trunk, rear mach 460 amps, etc...

^those are the things that made a difference on my timeslip. and was worth the time + investment.

__________________________________________________ _______________________________

the items below had no effect on my timeslip, and in some cases slowed me down.

* frpp 1 5/8 shorties (<yielded nothing. waste of money and a lot of work)

* started with a lloyd elliott ported stock upper elbow then switched to a c&l upper elbow, frpp 70mm tb, demolet rai, 24 lb. injectors calibrated/matched with pro-m 80mm maf, bypassing the a/c compressor with a shorter belt for short term test 'n tune purposes, lightweight 15 lb. track battery, etc..there are more odds and ends, but i think i illustrated my point.

^those are the things that i will eloquently describe as being all junk.

yea thats what I had mentioned also but the dude just got the car and is limited in credit so he gotta just start somewhere just like me but I picked up a 98 TA and hope i have better luck in modding mine but with my pops(OD) helping me out it shouldn't be a problem! lol!

i just put one of my dry kits on a stock everything 02 vert down to the radials. goes 9.20's on motor. 8.50's on a .040 pill.

just pilled it up to .050, and will report results after the track later today.

so 4.10s over 3.73's? that should be nice coupled with a 3000 plus stall,headers,x pipe,cai,100 shot dry and of course a tune! that should be good for some what high 7's in the 1/8????

I'm not even thinking for the 1/8th or drag racing. Just what I had fun with street driving with some minor autox driving. I did not stall and the car being an auto is a big reason I ended up selling it.

Jet , what kind of gains would I see with a kit like this for my 00 GT ? It's stock with a 5-speed and 3.27's . I have a Bassani x with the Steeda(Borla) cat back , underdrives , timing adjuster and K&N drop in . It went 8.8 in the 1/8 with a 1.90 60ft and the stock cluch but I just changed that and it feels like it pulls much better . I think the stocker was slipping a little . I am planning on some springs , control arms and conectors but 8.1 in a auto vert sounds tasty . I have an NX kit with the shark nozzle , is this something like what you are using on the vert or are you using a different style spray bar ?
