Well hello again, looking at my mustang today and I just want more from her. A mostly stock mustang is a blank sheet of paper that u can do what ever u want. To date all she has is

373 gears
Off road H pipe
Bbk cold air intake
Sct chip

Don't get me wrong with the 5.0 and what I have done I can get it up and moving but I just don't think she is where she could be. A big down side is she is an auto but it does mean less spin. So if u had this car what are a few must have upgrades u would get

Pinoy361

410 gears, full exhaust (headers mid-pipe, catbacks) staggered wheel set-up, h&r super sports, sub-frame connectors, front anti-roll bar, rear sway bar, new intake manifold, fuel injectors, cams, the list goes on and on. Plus theres always goin boost!

Depends on what you want to spend. You could easily get into the 400-500hp range with a little under 5K. Just depends.

asmodeus

Good point. I would be happy running mid to low 9s really. Its a DD car so not really looking for a race car. I would be happy to keep up with a mach1. Idk what hp they are at but I would be happy with that speed. like the 99 body style mach1.

Pinoy361

Well you could go with the basic bolt ons, cai, throttle body, plenum, free up ur exhaust with a mid-pipe (i like H pipes personally) and quality catbacks. Then add a tuner from sct and you should be keepin up with a mach 1. All that can be had for about 2k probably. How much hp are you running now? Becuz the "new edge" mach 1's i think are rated at 280 from the factory. Someone plz correct me if im wrong

1999Pony

Mach 1s are 305 hp and 320 ft*lbs. In order to run mid-low 9s you would need a lot and your car would not be very much a dd anymore. I think realistically shooting for low 12s would be your best bet and the easiest way would be boost and a forged bottom ened. If you don't want to boost it then you could get a stroker kit, i'd say a 347 kit with a good set of heads will get you very close to that goal

Yea 9s are pretty far off from any Mach 1 with basic bolt ons. Your problem is the 5.0 wasnt a fairly high horsepower stock motor. It can definitely be made quick and there's tons of parts for it. But remember if your wanting a track queen you have to build up your suspension as well. Its easy to get 350-400 HP but not as easy to put it on the ground. You could get a lightly used blower and run a safe tune. That would put you where you want to be. But for 2000 you'd have to install it yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong guys

PS - you'd probably run a 14 right now. Going from that to a 9 is ridiculous fast. Another thing you would probably need to upgrade is the clutch

asmodeus

I ment in the 1/8. Hahah sorry. The only 1/4 mile track is about 2 hours away. But mid to low 9s could still be a DD. I ran 10.3 last time.

asmodeus

And its an auto trans

asmodeus

The only thing I don't want to do is run gas. Everything else is deff on the table.

sinisterbullitt

Oh that definitely makes a big difference. If you ran a 10.3 then mid 9s shouldn't be too hard. I'd still focus on suspension bit I'd go the blower route. Google and YouTube 1/8 mile runs on n/a and f/i cars and see what You like better. Bolt ons are always good to have but take a bit longer and cost more money in the long run. But with a blower you still should build up the bottom end to be safe if you want to run a decent amount of boost.

asmodeus

And kinda a off the wall question. What do you guys think about the 6.0 gto ls2??

1999Pony

Terds. The cars are slick but they are not very reliable.

sinisterbullitt

I don't even think they're that slick. Kind of look like a cobalt with g6 taillights to me.

asmodeus

Yep yep. Y I am asking, I ran into a bit of money, I'm looking to put money into my mustang or buy a new one. Kinda at a cross road, not sure what path to take. I was looking at the 03 04 svts. But with a few more grand I could get a 2011 gt. :/ witch both are a hella lot faster and are all around better than my 94.

asmodeus

The only reason I was lookin at the gto is the tail lights lol. I LOVE them. The lines are just nasty. But its a Pontiac. But the 11 gt look so much better.

1999Pony

Get the termi!!!

Pinoy361

I would definitely go with the termi! Those things are wolfs in sheeps clothing. Yea they can destroy most cars straight from the factory. But do a couple bolt-ons, swap out the pulley, stiffen up the chassis and do some suspension work and your in the 600-700 range and youll be puttin each horse into the ground. Oh, maybe upgrade to a KB blower but thts not alwayd necessary.

AlsCobra

I agree as long as you don't call it a Termi. Most of us owners hate that damm nickname.

1999Pony

Is easier then typing terminator or 03/04 Cobra.
