Just got a 2000 Gt not long ago. Gonna start doing performance mods soon.

I wanna get some good performance before going forced induction. Maybe in the 300+whp if possible.

Mods Im thinking of so far:

MMR Stage 3 ported Head
CMS Stage 2.5 N/A Cams
Accufab 70mm and Plenum Combo
JLT Ram Air Intake
Intake Spacer
4:10 Gears w/ SCT X3
Loundmouth 1 or Bassani Cat-back
Slp Long Tube Headers
O/R X-Pipe
Steeda Unerdrive Pulley

What else would I need. Please Add or change anything on list if needed

Also what companies do you recommend

Thank You

 

suspension?

i have a similar set up in mind, 75mm tb/plentum tho, no cai(drop in k/n instead), stage 1 cams, maybe porting my heads. and full suspension

 

those mods are about right however IMO i would not waste the money one the UDP or the t/b spacer. Just a complete waste. And if u are going to go forced induction and know u r for sure i would go with a 75mm t/b instead of 70mm. But if ur not then stick with the 70mm. And since ur an automatic there are only two brands that make longtubes that will fit our cars. One is the SLP as u have listed and the other is MAC whcih is the ones I have. (SLP makes great products but way too overpriced IMO). And if u do go forced induction think about ur gears. 4.10s will run out of gear at about 160. I have 4.10s and i am going to get nitrous however I only do 1/4 mile races and low mph rolls. Also get suspension mods:
lower control arms
subframe connectors
and drag radials!!!!

 

Ok take away the udp and spacer and I do plan on going forced induction but it will be much later because the car has 122+k miles and I dont think the motor could handle that. Havent put all the mods in stone yet but thinking about a MMR 4v Longblock the worst thing i wanna do is to started modding the engine and boom. My goal is to be able to get into the low 12's 11's would be great but also have a good Daily Driver. From all the experienced mustang modders what would it take? what should I do? Dont wanna waste money on parts that will not help

Would it be easier to save up for a 4v long block or would a 2v be ok?

Most def gonna do traction mods.


Thank You

 

the stage 3 heads wont work on a stock 281 block vavles will hit cylinder walls because they are to big..need to bore it out if u stay with stock 281 block..so be careful about that oen

 

Other than the ones stated above a big problem i see is getting N/A cams and then going FI.

I am not 100% sure so dont quote me but if you go with a supercharger and aftermarket N/A cams it is not going to work out. Its something about the lifting of the cams and the PSI not being able to hold solid.

Anyways its something you should definately look into.

 

are you going for faster track times or just dyno numbers? im going to see how far i can push a stock motor n/a bolt on car at the track and if it only makes 230hp so be it.. I have a small bolt on list so far
steeda pullies
bisanni x pipe
3.73 geaRS
fms 31 spline trac loc strange ss axles
pro products 70mmtb and plenum
fms aluminum drive shaft
some pos cai
ive gained from a bone stock 14.82 at 94mph down to a 14.2 at 95mph slicks 14.60 96.47 street tires in crappy air and tht was just with the x pipe and 3.73 gears
more track times to come but it is mph over 96.47mph now so they are making more power...

 

Adam is right. If u go FI u must get the right heads and cam setup to go with it. Or else u will see very bad results. Cams are very tricky when it comes to FI. Idk that much about it but I do kno the setup has to be right with one another.
