Need to hit the mid 14's

[SonikBlueStang]

My car is a 2003 mustang v6 auto. and want to hit the mid 14's this is what i had in mind

*long tube headers
*offroad h pipe and exhaust
*cold air intake
*Udp(not sure which ones)
*sct flash tuner
*4.10 gears with t-lok
*Port and polished intakes with bbk throttle body
*18 inch saleen wheels with performance nito tires
*eibach lowering springs
*rear seat delete

will this get me into the mid 14's

will a shift kit help?

[timpryor]

shift kit will help, but IMO i would go with a custom tuned chip from justin vs a genaric tune


those wheels will KILL YOU

[neatofrito1618]

Yes it will. I agree you should get a xcal2 and tune your shift points instead of getting a cheap shift kit.

18s will slow you down leave the oem 15s and put tires on the back ones for traction.

whats the best rim size will the 17 inch cobra wheels do

and what do you think im gonna run with thoose mods?

[SpectorV]

you can run any wheel/tire you want bug weight slows the car down. Every pound of rotating mass is nearly equal to 10 pounds of dead weight. So if you increased your wheel's weight by 30 pounds thats like adding 300 extra pounds of dead weight to he car~

With all of those mods you should be a second faster if not more, Stock time are 16.0~

[SonikBlueStang]

there are also ultra lite wheels from steeda which ones do you think are better the 17 x 9(first pic), the 18 x 9(first pic), or the 18 x 9.5(second pic)

[SpectorV]

wheels are all personal preference, you have to pay the price for getting 18 inch rims, they are not THAT much heavier but they are heavier. I wouldnt worry about it to much though, get an aluminum driveshaft to help offset the extra weight (an aluminum driveshaft is 10lbs lighter, and its 10 rotating lbs)

Dude, you could take the wheel money, spend that on real mods,
and go mid 14's with a cam and tune. Get the shift points modified
with the tune.

Going Fast > Looking Good

You already got a Mustang, so it looks good. I'd rather have fast car
that looks really good than a slow car that looks awesome.

Use your street racing winnings to buy the wheels...


Did I say that out loud???

4.10 gears
a posi-trac differential (or whatever it is y'all call 'em)
some sort of drag radial
and hit it with as much nitrous as it'll take.

[WhiteStang99]

we call them a T-Lok.

You dont need nitrous to run mid 14's. Bolt on's, a flasher, and 4.10's should be enough(with a decent driver).

But nitrous is about as expensive as a single bolt-on.

that's a matter of opinion! Why have a posi-trac? Is there a negi-trac??

Traction-Lock, alright, that makes sense.

[SpectorV]

they work differently in most cases, aka detroic locker vs ford tlok. The name some time justifies the means.

I've paid over $600 for my nitrous stuff and i dont even have a bottle warmer yet, and i pay $60+ a month for nitrous.
