60 ft - 2.267
3306 - .243
1/8 - 9.487
1000 - 12.251
1/4 - 14.571
MPH - 97.32

those are real close to my first numbers from my first trip in my 99GT as well..
'cept i had 4.10's on that list of mods, without a shifter (and apparently, i blew at shifting the first and second times out)

ive got the exact same mods,,+ drag radials, and learning to shift alot better

next time i launched a 2.05 with the DR's and shifted badly to a 14.086 ..
next time i launched **** at 2.149 but shifted a LOT better to a 13.983...

if you add some DR's alone, you'll be 14.0 flats...

good job man, and good luck in the future

yea i was talking to a friend the other night that said he knows this other mustang that just put in cold air, 3.73, short throw, andcat-back exhaust and ran a 13.7. So I think my next mod is going to be in this order...

3.73 gears (i do some highway driving so don't think 4.10 is a good route)
cold air
tune
drag radials

I am trying to get this job working in the IT dept for a company. When i get my A+ cert I should have a pretty good job. If that happens I'll be able to afford the SLP performance Pac that's supposed to give you 330 at the crank.

cai is way over rated. They look cool, but other mods will give you hp.

how much do you have to spend? you can get a offroad h or x pipe for that price i know.... also, if you go a throttle body... get a plenum while you are at it... or maybe get some underdrive pullies...

I forgot to mention that I have an X-Pipe....i don't have anything to spend until i get this job after my certification classes...then I can get whatever...just wondering what you thought about the throttle body...i've heard people talk about the bullit throttle body...don't know if it's bigger or what.

***Off topic***

Is it just me or does the photo he posted not look real? It looks like a minature model or something.. I'm not sure if its the color of the grass, the way the trees/houses are blurred behind the car or what.. It just looks funny.. Kinda like its not real..

Am I crazy or does it look like that to you too?
