Default Decided to go NA after a lot of thought

Hey guys after reading a lot of your resonses in my other threads and in past threads, I have decided to forego the supercharger route and build up what I've got. So I guess what I am asking is what kind of power and 1/4 mile times should I expect from my mods in the sig plus stage 2 heads and cams, long tube headers, and the P51 intake? Thanks.

With your suspension and street tires, you couldn't really expect it to be more than a solid high 12 sec car. With a little more suspension mods and nice tires, it could go lower 12's. All depends on what you set the car up to do.

sure

IMO if you stick with N/A, spend some cash and get some slicks and build up the rear end.

Actually what you should do is go back and put your thinking cap on. Don't take it off until you decide not to go N/A. It's the worst route you can possibly go atleast with a 2v, cost to power ratio.

What are your reasons for trying to stay N/A.

With a NA build suspension is more important then power.

with a FI build they are both important and can get you better times for the same cost.

Suspension is important for both. I think what you mean is you make crap for power staying N/A so your best bet in the 1/4 is slicks and suspension.

After listening to a million videos of cammed mustangs the last few weeks and I've seriously contemplated building a high compression engine and selling the S/C. Then, after long inward retrospective thinking, I smack myself and tell myself to STFU retard.
