Yeah.. I know I said that. I meant to say simple stuff like pullies, gears, exhaust, timing bumped to 14*, K&N filter.....actually a TB and mass air change isn't needed at that point yet.
I don't why I said TB and MAF changes..

nothings impossible... in my opinion though 13's in a fox 5.0 just isn't gonna happen for 99% of folks with the usual bolt-ons.

Ok..fair enough. Those people with stock 5.0's that can't crack 14's can't drive.
Would you agree then that the people that CAN hit 14's in stock mustangs would be able to run 13's with bolt on stuff?

no - not with "simple" bolt-ons... were talkin simple stuff and diminishing returns. With sticky tires... yes I beleive its possible.

with many bolt ons, 13's are doable, but that also depends on what you call a bolt on. at this point its all in how you're defining simple so i say we just lock this bitch up cause its getting nowhere.

I'm talkin simple stuff too....ok, ok...I'll add sticky tires but not necessarily slicks though. I'll say drag radials.
When I say street tires, that doesn't mean it has to be the factory Goodyears. It could be a set of aftermarket wheels and tires.
Do we have a deal now?

Here is what I call simple:

Exhaust
gears(because a complete rear can be bought with gears already installed)
pullies
K&N filter
timing adjusted to 14*

With good tires, good driver and track conditions...13's should be no problem
