I ran a 13.5.
Automatic convertible with shaker 1000.
(about as heavy a mustang as you can order)

Mods:
C&L Racer intake
Diablosport/ Hypertech tuners.... (I am playing with both)
4:10 FR gears
TB spacer
Custom heat shielding for intake to prohibit heat transfer.

Will gut my car this weekend:
Spare, jack, headrests, drain washer fluid, sub woofers, run to less than 1/4 tanks of gas...etc. To remove as much dead weight as possible.

Hopefully I can break into 13.2.

Would an off road H pipe and UDP's get me close to 12.9's-12.8's with the stock tires and good track conditions. Or would a stall convertor and drag tires and/or an aluminum driveshaft be a better bang for the buck. I want to keep it stock as possible. I am not interested in nitrous, long tubes, delete plates..ect. I might go with 3.73's at a later date. I hope to baseline my car next weekend at Beech Bend if the weather cooperates. My ultimate goal is 12.60's with tires. THANKS
With the mods listed below, full tank of gas and everything in the car just like I drive it to work everyday.

I did 4 runs with my GT on 10/10/06 best of 4 runs:

13.491 sec at 102.47 mph
60' time 2.128 sec

And this was with everyone complaining that the track was in poor condition.

Have fun

I have since added UDP's and the GTA mufflers. I am shooting for 13.30's when the track opens.

I think it's going to take a set of gears and sticky tires to get into the 12's

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
E-Town is 56' at the start and 59' at the stripe.

I ran a 12.583 @ 107.09 last night with the modifications you see below, and with MT/ET 275/40/R17 Street Radials on stock 17" rims.

My first touch of the 12's was with the intake, tune, and full exhaust which was a 12.999 @ 105


GET THE CONVERTER, DRIVESHAFT, AND TIRES, it will do more for you than anything else.

When I do decide to spend some money I will probably go with a 3000 stall converter. Last test and tune is the 31st and as of now the extendend forecast is calling for 69 and sunny. It's 83 outside right at this moment.

No, they aren't on the car unless I'm going to the track, and I'm not going to the track if it is raining
