hello my fellow Mustang lovers! i own a 2001 laser red GT and i love the car.she was a neglected vehicle,her previous owner barely took care of her,and wasnt too careful with her...
i've had some issues with it, but little by little she's been coming together,and hopefully she'll be the way i want her to be soon enough.
this car is my first V8 car..prior to this,i had a 2005 SRT-4 and i managed to squeeze out 300 at the tire with just bolt ons,and 21 pounds of boost and it put me on the mid 12 sec range.
my question is, how could i break 300 at the tires with this car,without breaking the bank? i figured since my SRT and my pony both have similar baseline power,at the crank,the gt having a slight advantage, this should be easier to achieve in the mustang since its got a bigger V8 motor,compared to a 4 cylinder of the neon... in the neon i had intake,full piping,full exhaust,FMIC,stage 2 pcm,wga...what would i need to get this kinda power in this mustang? i've read that with minor bolt ons, i'd be lucky to squeeze out 260...kinda discouraging,to be honest..as of now i have catback exhaust,and professional products typhoon intake manifold..i plan on getting intake,TB,plenum,pulleys,headers,midpipe,and a tune....down the road i plan on going force induction..i'm still deciding on a turbo kit,or a Kenne bell blower, but that's gonna be way down the road.but for now i wanna have fun with this thing..thought about the spray, but i dont really wanna risk blowing this thing up...so, what would you guys recommend? thanks and hope to hear good things from y'all
