Hey all-

Im new to mustangs and am thinking of grabbin me a 00-04 GT and am wondering how much N/A i can get from it? Im looking to make it a high 12's low 13's and am lookin to keep this fairly reliable. I come from the world of imports and currently have a 3000gt tt. it was fwd and even though its built, traction is a problem and so is reliablity. What kind of power do the GT's put out stock at the wheels and is it possible to get 325-350whp out of it? Im not really looking to dig into the motor much but MAYBE a cam in the far future if i can reach my goals. Im browsing around and see a few helpful threads, but figured its best to just ask...

thanks for the help

Welcome.

Find a relatively stock 99-04 GT and throw a 100 shot on it. This will get you really close to your HP goals and it's fairly cheap.

99-04's come with roughly 215-225rwhp, and have 2 cams. These are OHC engines, unlike the pushrod 5.0's.

welcome. the only way to 350rwhp without going internal is supercharging or Nitrous.

At the crank

With just basic bolt ons (no heads or cams) a different rear end gear, and a set of drag radials, you can easily pull a low 13. There would be no digging into the motor this way, and it would be cheap and reliable as well.

A 100 shot will get you 350+ hp cheaper than any other route.

here is what i had dont at the time and it landed me a best E.T. of 13.1@105.

bbk longtube headers, o/r h-pipe, flows (dumped) intake, 4.10 gears, vt stage 1 n/a cams and m/t et streets. this is also on a completely stock suspension. witha good setup suspension you can be in the 12's easily with this set up. oh yea its a 5spd also. bone stock i was able to run a 14.065@98.89. thats completely stock from the paper filter and stock tires.

now i have bigger fuel injectors, svt focus fuel pump, and a nx plate kit (100shot) and still on stock suspension i pulled a 12.3@114.

gears, Exhaust, Tuner, and maybe 100 shot of crack with traction and you have 12's and your desired whp as well

+1, full exhaust, gears and spray! thats good for 350rwhp and oodles of torque.

best way for 350 horses is nitrous or s/c. I'd say find a nice Gt and if you like it, do a few bolt ons and if they arent what you want get the nitrous or s/c'er. heck i think you should try out the new trickflow heads, i wanna see what they can do lol.

Heres some threads i posted that might be of some help to you.
