Default Getting to the 12's?

So Tuesday night i went to the track for the second time with my car. The first time i got a best of 13.68 and this time i got a 13.48. What do you guys think i will get out of these 3 mods- BMR lower control arms, Steeda underdrive pullys, and 3.73 gears. All i have done so far is a cold air intake and tune.

Getting in the twelves in these cars is a forced induction topic. You need to be pushing about 420 crank at the weight of these cars and the aerodynamics of the brick front end. My vette is in the 12's but it weighs 3187 lbs and has 400+ crank.

First of all im not talking about 12 flat ill be happy with 12.99. I find that very hard to believe. From everything i have heard and experienced if you drop your 60' 1 10th you lose 2 10ths on your et. You dont think with 3.73's and lower control arms i can drop my 60' at least 2 10th's? Plus ive seen many of N/a 2005+ in the 12's

i agree i dont know much about mustangs to be honest but any other car ive been around, i think you can reach 12's easily without being f/i just my opinion i cant tell you about those mods though as i said im not really sharp on stangs yet but mines on its way and i cant wait.

12.99 at sea level, great 60 foot times, cold air, 93 tune and DR. OK I agree can be done consistantly, I was thinking more like 12.5 at 115. Oh well, different thought.

You do not need 400+ horsepower to get into the 12's. You need tire's for one thing. To get you very close.

Your saying a stock GT with tires, gets into the twelves. What king of GT are you talking about.

My car has run a best of 13.36@104.86 with the Tunable Induction CAI and Bamachips 93 tune, getting into the 12's is much easier with this car than I originally believed. In fact I argued against it with so little done only weeks ago, however I feel now that I have hit 13.3 with this combo and have hit a best 0f 105 mph in the 1/4, these cars have high 12's in them with the addition of gears and tires and can pretty much gaurantee it with LT's and mid-pipe added to the mix.

There are guys running into the 12's on the stock rubber, as hard as it is to believe, it has been done, and I plan on being in the 12 second club in the next two weeks. On the stock BFG 18's, the mod list will be CAI, 93 tune, 4.10 gears and if possible off road mid pipe.

I'm sorry your lighter more powerful Vette isn't faster? Not sure what else to say. 400+hp in a light car is 11's territory, I've seen plenty of Vette's doing it. But then. 2 nights ago I saw a 2000 Vette only running 14's, we know it's faster, but not with that guy driving.
