On street tires probably a 14.0 - 14.2, you've got the power for 13's but its not likely you'll put it to the ground. Go to the track and see, then let us know how it goes.

RE: what do u think my quarter should be?
huum soo u think i wont be able to put it to the ground? well i hopeing to be in the high 13s with these mods. just dont really get why u think i cant put the power to the ground. so u think if stock i can do 14.0 that i wont beable to get into the 13s with more hp because im going to spinn too much? well let me know what everyone thinks and it will be a few weeks before i get to the track cause im still waiting on a few of the mods because of outa stock reasons.

Well with the mods you see below minus the timing adjuster and the short throw I did a 14.1. With stock tires which are the Daytona's I think, its really hard to get traction at all. My worst run was a 15.2 because I just sat there spining at the line spinning. I wanna get some Nitto 555R Extreams for some really good grip!

Well I ran a 14.2 twice in a row with a street launch spinning some of 2nd and some of 3rd and it was 43deg freaking deg outside. I only have a cattback and x-pipe, I know she is capable of 13.9-13.8.
If you can launch and get a good pass with your mods you are looking at 13.8-13.6 range.

RE: what do u think my quarter should be?
seems like these cases are driver error nothing to do with the car. i mean look at z28s doin 13s on factory tread. they put out stock hp of a lil over 300. so your tellin me there not gonna get 13s because they are gonna spin. not everyone needs DRs to get a good time you just have to know how much to give the car with out spinning. so i guess what u guys are sayin witch is a no brainer that if i can get 14.0 stock with these mods ill be in the high 13s. but what i wanna know is how low into the 13s i could possably get if i did get good traction. thanx for the honest replys

RE: what do u think my quarter should be?
well I had more power than you when i was running street tires (about the exact same as jdaniel but with 4.10 gears as well) and the only night I took it to the track I ran a best of 14.1 on the stock goodyears out of 3 runs. I suppose its possible I coulda ran a 13.9, it wasn't likely since I just couldnt hook up. Im not pointing the finger at you 04mustang, dont take it that way.
Last week at the track I saw about 5 mustangs, including a mach1 and a bullitt, and neither one ran better than 14.1 - and the mach1 had exhaust and a few bolt-ons.
