**** i got 4.10s and upper my timing with my diablosport predator tuner so i have to get 93 octane which is $2.45 a gallon.


*also to note that i have yet to notice any loses from my 4.10's. i usually fill up 2 to 3 times a week before the changing of my gears (with the 3.27s) now i filled up monday and its lasted to me to today (Sunday) and i have a 1/4 of a tank so i'll go fill er' up. but 4.10s are truly amazing, i kinda wish i got 4.30s

work on your suspension!!! with a better suspension, your be running quicker times. suspension can make you hook alot better. get new control arms and maybe some bags for the back to launch better. nice times!

About the 4.10's I would consider how much you drive on the highway. If what you do is mainly in traffic then do it.

well, dont go with lowering springs, they hurt launch sad to say. [:@][:@] you can get like the eibach drag race kit for the back which is like airbags and new springs. then also get some adjustable shocks for the back. and then get some new lower control arms atleast. they help out traction. if you can get your car to hook good, your times will be much better. i dont know how it hooks already with those drag slicks though, most people on here run DR's.

Might want to consider a good pair of sub-frame conectors to stiffen everything up as well. They make a pretty big difference and are relativley cheap.

ORIGINAL: mustanggtandgsxr

wz everyone. i have been around a little just reading and learning. i bought my first mustang about 2 months ago. i traded my evo 8 for that and a expedition. i got tired of the evo breaking. change trannys twice and transfer case once. it was running good but not reliable. best time was 12.59. ne ways i have a mustang now and i love it. i have put 3.73 gears, nx wet system w/ 100 shot nos, bbk o/r x pipe, superchip, and today i ordered the c&l plenum and 75 mm acuffab throttle body. hopefully next week ill be able to order the steeda under drive pullies, maybe with the timing adjuster. i have ran the mustang a few times and the best time i got was a 12.81 with a 1.87 60ft time on dot slicks. so tell me what u guys think. thanks

by the way its a blue with silver stipes 03 gt

i posted this in the new member section but i figure most of you guys do go to that section at all so here it is thanks in advance for any comments or inputs
A 12.81 on slicks with the N20 on?

Better make sure your rear end is beefed up or you might shatter that 8.8. Also, get some LT headers and a aftercat, that should really help out your times. I am expecting to run a 12.99 with drag radials on (at least). With the N20 I expect with full boltons for you to be deep into the 12s.
