i have a 2004 mustang gt.
geared to 3.73, 245/45/17
K&N Cai, bigger throttle body, c&l intake plenum, bassani cat back, shortshifter, oil blowback system, and a diablo sport tuner.
I can get a 14.4 in it but thats the best i can pull. and my launch is between 1200 and 1500. what should be the next thing to put on this? im trying to still keep a good mileage because it is a dd.

Need new wider wheels and better tires and a new set of lower control arms. You have plenty of bolt-on's. Thats enough money wasted. New wider wheels with wider tires will help with traction so you can launch a little harder. Control arms will help that too. I was going to suggest a midpipe but youre in nazifornia and that wouldnt fly unless you got the Magnaflow which I think is CARB stamped. Not 100% sure on that but its worth a shot.

Biggest help here is going to be a better wheel/tire package and lower control arms to hook up better. Also, driver mod is probably needed. That time is similar to mine and I have a good 2-300 pounds on you, taller gears than you, and you probably make about the same or more power than I do. I ran a 14.5 @ 95mph. You should easily be in the 13's as you sit if you drive well. So practice might help you too.

I could use a little more info to determine if you need more practice at the track or not. What were your 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile trap speeds? What was your 60' time? Go to dragtimes.com and find your DA for the track you ran at and the time you made the pass. It will also give you an adjusted ET for the weather conditions.

That being said, I would bet some decent tires would give you the best improvement in ET at the track. A pair of DRs could get you as much as 0.6 seconds off your ET. That and practice are my first suggestion for you.

teej281 typing reply same time as me...

Also, if you haven't already... take anything out of your car that is not neccessary (jack, spare tire, etc). Removing the front swaybar when you go to the track will help your weight transfer on launches (plus drop another 20lbs off the front of the car).

You should be quicker than that with those mods I could only get 14.2 @97 out of mine at that time it had catted mid pipe 3.73s, lowering springs, and a sct tune and a 15" speaker in the trunk. You May just need practice just this past friday I seen a few catback new edge gt's running in the 15s they should run faster than that just practice.

Driver mod=$0.00 and guarunteed better times. But strangly enough I agree with TJ better tires and at least Lower Control Arms will make a pretty big difference.

Along with what everyone else is saying, learning how to drive it will make a big difference. When i had basically your mods on 275 street tires my best was a 13.8 @ 103.

thanks guys, i have lower control arms, just no idea how to put them on

Still could use additional data from your run(s), to help figure out where you are at this time. That and DA information from dragtimes.com would tell us a lot.

Hopefully they're the adjustable ones. Also, I'd say a set of upper control arms will do wondering too except since it's still ur dd stay away from them.

^ Good advice above given already.
