2012 5.0 owner looking for a 99-04 to build
I always loved these model Stangs but had LS1 cars instead during this time period (99-04). Any recommendations and anything particular I should look for? Mods will be nos 125 dry shot, Cai, 410's , xpipe, and drag radials. Thanks

No limit really. But I do things on a budget or I'd build a Z06 if that makes sense. I previously built a 1993 notch back 347 with Nos , alum heads, lentech tranny , 31 spline 373s ,Dr's and a bit more of course. It went 10.80s with AC, PS and cruise control.. I put about 14k in that car. I'd like to do this a bit cheaper and 11s will be plenty fast.
I have a friend that had a 2000 vert with the NOS dry kit, 373s, xpipe, cai , Dr's that went mid 12s. It didn't make 400 rwhp on the gas. It didn't hook well when it was lowered and that hurt it at the track bad . I always thought that set up in a coupe would make an 11 second pass if it had eibach drag springs and not lowered. Of course the vert being heavier was another factor.
