Hey Guys,

I'm want to know if it's possible to get a coyote mustang into the 10's without nitrous or boost. if so, what would it take?

thanks!

 

A really steep hill.

 

Carving off 2seconds would be hard without either a supercharger or twin turbo's. I wouldn't advise nitrous without getting with a master engine builder or engineer and seeing What would need to be changed out so you didn't blow the engine. You could stick a Shelby intake, the bigger throttle body, bigger injectors, race tune with CAI, headers and exhaust without cats, probably want to put at least 3.73 gears in the rear end, etc. but still no way of knowing if that would be enough.

 

Talk to JDM Engineering, they put a NA Coyote in the 9s.

 

It's possible. There's a guy here in my local mustang forum that did it, under 10.

 

Are you willing to gut the interior and have a drag racing suspension? You can get the DOB supercharger kit that makes use of the GT500 blower (which you can get used cheap) and costs around $5k and will get you in the 10's a lot cheaper than doing an N/A build that will run 10's

 

hmm, well i thought with cams, cj intake, full exhaust, e85, like a 250lb weight reduction and good suspension could get it into the 10's. guess I was wrong.

 

Cams for these cars will cost you an arm and a leg and not provide NEAR the added power a supercharger will add. There are FOUR camshafts...

I'm sure all that stuff will get you into the 10's, but think of how much cheaper you could get into the 10's with a blower and some suspension work and tires

 

It depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. Joe Marini went 9's with a sealed coyote motor, JLT intake and JPC tune so it is possible for sure. Kris Danner went 10s with a Boss motor and the right combination and Brett Thurber went 10's as well without cams IIRC and on the stock IM. I might be wrong about Brett's car though. An auto is required though as I don't think many people have gone 10's with the MT82. I mean Coyote Stock is filled with 10 second sealed coyote motors, but most of them use Fox Bodies.

The thing is if you want to go 10's and do it N/A go for it, it is 100% possible to do.

 

would you say it's cost effective though?

 

How much is a JATO canister?

 

I don't really care if it is cost effective in all honesty. If I want to have a challenge before me or I want to stay N/A then I would do it regardless of how cost effective it would be. If cost effectiveness were a huge issue to me, then I would just straight to a turbo and beat most every similarly setup S/C 5.0 at the strip. I have more respect for a N/A car in the 10s then I do for a FI car in the 9's.

It can be, as I said, coyote stock cars are running mid to low 10's even 9's with a CAI & Tune. Although if are that dedicated to Drag Racing to try and get a N/A car into the 10's then you know cost effectiveness goes right out the window and you move into mods that are more suspension and weight reduction oriented.

 

I can relate with your feelings on running a N/A car into the 10's especially if it is something you built. I'd say Your next step is to contact shone of the people listed on this thread who've accomplished the feat and see if you can get then to share what you need to do. Please keep us updated to your progress.

 

It wouldn't be me in all honesty haha. If I ever took my car to the strip my rear end would explode.

KDanner's car had a bunch of weight savings done to it (I would have to go through the threads to see if I could find a weight) and he had a stock Boss motor with Pypes stepped headers O/R pipes and a full suspension. The biggest key is getting the right air, stall, and dialing in your suspension. Most Coyote Stock cars (Sealed coyote motors factory intake) are running mid to low 10's so for them it is all about weight, & suspension.
