Default what would you do??

just so everyone knows, i have a full bolt on gt with cams and running a 100shot nx kit. my best run is a 12.3@114 and right now i am currently deployed so ive got a few extra bucks in the bank that i wanna spend. my mustang has a completely stock suspension so here is what i would like to know. would yall do suspension, get new rims and a cowl induction hood or would yall take off the nitrous kit (sell it) and supercharge it??? im leaning more towards the exterior stuff and i know taht with a decent suspension set up ill be in the 11's seeing my 12.3 was with a 2.1 60ft. thanks for yalls opinions

it would probably be easier if you keep the nitrous and address the suspension. would make a world of difference

Seriously get the 60' down. Work on suspension and get sticky tires and if you can drop the 60' down .4 seconds that would equate to .8 off the quarter mile. Allowing you to run mid 11's.

get supporting mods IF you dont already have them and crank the nitrous to 125? or go suspension way which would be a better idea IMO

Talking

yea i was leaning more towards my suspension and yall just up my mind. when i get back i was thinking about running 150shot, just a little worried about if my engine would be able to hold that much. i guess there is only one way to find out

Good luck on your deployment! hmm I'd say do suspension, you'll definitely see a drop in times with a better set up.

he probably doesn't have the power to run mid elevens with a 115 trap, I would think that high elevens are capable, but mid's would require more power
