RE: 5.0 needs to beat 4.6
suspension would be nice but the fox is lighter than the sn95 especially the 98gt version that is one of his advantages. There are many versions or ways to modify a mustang but for a quick race then he should go with gears, cai, 65mm t/b and 75mm maf and if money permits upper and lower intake manifold all of this courtesy of ebay not bad for an $800 dollars budget.

RE: 5.0 needs to beat 4.6
I have a 92' LX 5.0 hatch, Which is an AOD, with the timing advanced to 14 Degrees 1 5/8" headers and stock everything else: exhaust intake motor...
My friend has a 98' GT 5-spd with a CAI o'/r X-Pipe and a ford racing exhaust, and he has wide Pirelli tires...
I smoke him every time, most of the time he burns out and then he has no chance... But even when he hooks good i am like 3 or more car lengths ahead...
When i got my car it ran real crappy, i finally figured out that one of my fuel injectors wasnt working, when my car was running on 7 Cylinders he was right next to me when we raced....

RE: 5.0 needs to beat 4.6
First off, I think my neighbors kid on a bicycle can outrun a '98GT. They're one of the slowest Mustangs produced in the last 20 years. For safety sake, tell your friend that nitrous isn't going to blow his **** up and for him to just buy an easy to install kit. If it's supposed to be a motor vs motor run then, for $500, buy a 2lb nitrous bottle and hide the kit....
