Default 07 GT street/drag car - add your advices

Hi,

I got my 07 GT, stoc.
I want a street/drag car capable of 11.

Till now I ordered:

Procharger HO kit with P1SC, 3 core intercooler.
BoostBrothers Long Headers; custom 3" exhaust with Borla backboxes
Eibach springs
Rear control arms (up and lower) + relocation brackets
3.73 gears
295/35/r18 Nitto Nt05


The procharger kit comes with the 10 psi pulley and tune, they say going to do 540 hp at the crank.
Since I don;t have a Mustang tuner here in Romania, I'll have to go with that tune.

Are there any internet tuners for Mustang ? (I had my 464 awhp STI tuned with a US internet tuner and it was ok).

The gasoline here in Europe is best (though very expensive) and I can go with 100 octane all the time (98 octane here is equivalent to 93 octane in the US).

Is there anything else that you would add to this setup ?

Reach out to Chris Rose @ Tillman Speed. He's real good at remote tuning. You'll just need to find somewhere to get the car on a dyno with a wideband sensor and he'll work with you on that.

Make sure you get drag radials for the track, recommend Mickey Thomson ET Street Radial, just get a set of 2 stock bullitt wheels and the Mickeys, you will be hooking up great !!!

want a street/drag car capable of 11.

Which end of 11s are you wanting? The Nitto DRs I am familiar with, don't hook well. As stated, something like a softer MT or M&H might be better. You might want to upgrade the fuel system and injectors? What does the P1SC come with....a piggy back pump and 39s?

Think about some weight loss or better weight distribution. Losing 100-200 lbs or more and moving the heavy battery from the front to the rear can help.

Or you could just get a Wideband gauge installed and data log off that.

UDP's and an aluminum DS may help knock a tenth or 2 off...

The new nitto nt-05 should be a little softer then the old nt-01 or 555r....We'll see....

I went with the GT500 fuel pump setup and 39s for now.
Also I've order the aluminator...it should be delivered around the middle of may...Can you think of something else to go with the aluminator for the engine rebuild for this application ? Head gaskets, bolts, etc ? I want to go 15-17 psi after the install of the aluminator....

I got a fibre glass hood, I'll get a relocation battery kit, what else can I get to loose weight besides common sense changes (seats, interior carpet, spare wheel, etc) ?
