2005 Hemi magnum vs 04 Gt?

[michaelsevilla]

What do you guys think I need to beat him? He's a real toolbag and I'd hate to lose to him I'm talking a race from like 40 to 100 not all the way until 140+

Anyhow, from a ~40ish roll thats a dead spot for our autos so that'll work out in your advantage. The 5.7 is pretty evenly matched for the 99-04 2V Mustang (they both turn out the same E.Ts but I think the 5.7s pull higher traps). I say keep it to dig races if you are beating him, but running him from a roll would probably make it closer with the slight edge to him.

Edit: Don't know why I was thinking they didn't have R/T badges on them, but they do (walked outside and checked the Magnum that always parks next to me lol).

I'm going to purchase the cai just for any kind of difference and now I'm looking at the 75mm throttlebody from bbk, I really want to hVw any advantages I can get , he's a real toolbag with all the smack he talks.

get a 100 shot or headers or something besides bolt ons lol.. 4.10's or 3.73's

He'll get you from a roll unless 40 mph happens to be a sweet spot for you. Sub has already stated that its a dead spot for the R/T, so that will help you some..... but don't expect too much. If you had a manual trans, you guys would probably be about even depending on drivers. You really need some 4.10s and full exhaust to pull him up top..

Well around lunch time. (Everytime) He does annoying burnouts and speed offs coming off the parking lot. Everyone eggs me to race him.

So I took off and made it to a redlight with him dead on my ass trying to do the lame-sauce flyby. Light turns green and I nail the gas and see him trying to pass me with him holding his on and slowly me pulling away at higher speeds I'd say about 50-60 from the way I was slowly pulling him.

So its been established I can take him on from a stop. But what about from a roll? He wants to take it to the highway? He has a stock magnum and it isn't an R/T, just says "hemi" on the side of it.

I have an 04 mustang GT with a few mods

BBK pulley
BBK testpipes
Diablo Tune
Royal purple oil an filter
K & N filter.

Do you guys think he can beat me? Both cars are auto.

I think the Royal Purple oil and filter and K&N filter rank right up there with stickers and TB spacers.

Anyways, if it's a Hemi with no badges, it's an R/T as previously mentioned. In 05 the Magnum R/T was a 330 HP brick.

Well I an following some of yalls advice and I'm working on getting headers an a cai For good measure. I'll post vids if I am able to get some headers after the weekend , I'll put them on myself

[Stone629]

You realize what all it takes to install those headers, right? Good mod, but its a pretty extensive project, especially if your working on your back.

[michaelsevilla]

yeah if worst comes to worst I'll get someone to do it for me if I can't but me and my bud have all the tools including and engine hoist.. What kind of headers would you guys recommend? Bbk? Also what kind of gains can I expect from headers and my testpipes but stock catback? Is it really noticeable? And will gas mileage improve or get worst?
