You were running 14.6's w/o the exhaust? Are the vert's that slow?

My lowest time prior was a 14.505 without the exhaust...yeah, pretty much I would get 14.6's stock. The vert is a little heavier...but what kills me are the 60' times. I can never hook and I always get a 2.2...maybe a 2.0 for my track time...</P>


but now it's down to a 14.34 @99 with the exhaust...it made a better difference and it roars with race mufflers! I only ran with the exhaust once and didn't get a chance to run the engine cool...</P>


But not to change the subject, definately recommend the MAC Pro Chamber if you want gains. I felt them best after 3000rpms...</P>

Is the MAC Pro Chamber a crossover or does it have another function, ie muffler?

She has the family car but she likes Mustangs just as much as I do. She's not worried about performance, I am. I have pay the fuel bills.</P>


This morning, I started looking at a 66 Stang for her and a 93 coupe for me. We'll see how this idea goes. It's hard to tell alot about a car from a b/w picture.</P>

that's why you adress the traction problem before adding power this is why I can run 13's on a basically stock engine

First I would like to say that if you are a cheap MF then you need to find a cheap car because I have learned that if you are going to upgrade a stang you dont need to go the cheap way or you will just hurt yourself in the long run, not to mention that you bought one of the slowest modern mustangs ever made so plan on dumping a lot of cash in it to make it badass.

Start with the exhaust then move into the intake then gearing. But like vfast said, make sure you are running the right rubber also. Traction is a big issue.
