RE: Will I crack 13s with this set-up???
When I bought my car it was bone stock. I took the air silencer off and put underdrive pullies and 355 gears my car ran a 14.14. I didnt think that was that great at the time but the more I read it seams that is pretty good. guess I shouldnt complain!

Now everyone dont take this the wrong way but looking at the cost of all the parts you put on the car for it to only turn a high 13 low 14 is sick in my opinion, yes I am aware people buy parts used, do the work themselves but for a regular joe who doesnt know a damn thing and buys the parts new and pays someone to install it all, thats just crazy. I would be sick if it didnt go 80's or lower

There are budget ways to et into the 13's; just some little things.....My former '89 'vert ran a best of 13.80@99.8mph at 2,750+ elevation(who knows how bad the DA was that day; it's usually around 5,000-6,000...)
Every mod:
70mm BBK junkyard throttlebody($45 w\spacer)
73mm C&L meter($75 from friend)
Removed air silencer
Ported the stock lower intake & mass air meter myself(30 hours of my time & $5 worth of epoxy)
power pullies on crank & waterpump($30 max; also junkyard sourced)
short belt to bypass smog pump & PS pump($20 shorter length belt)
MSD6AL(Big expenditure; $175)
K&N panel filter(Junkyard....$2.30)
Otherwise completely stock motor.....
removed front swaybar(free)
welded in cheapo subconnectors($50+ case of beer for the installer)
T5Z trans(swapped out a bad AOD when i bought the car; high mileage car in pretty bad shape. $1,050 new in the crate).
3.55 gear(bought a disc brake rear end for $300 & the gear came with it.....)
26x8.5 M\T drag slicks on old 10-holes...($200 used mounted on the included 10-holes)
3,450 w\me ready to race.....
I didn't do everything I could have to reduce weight; it still had full power, air, & full interior. It was a daily driver just like my current notch & I didn't want to hear every pebble hitting the chassis on my daily 75 mile commute. I'm not bragging either; I'm sure many have gone faster & drive far better than I(can't break the daily driver; so no power shifting allowed). I just thought this list might help show that it isn't too hard nor too expensive.....

Has anyone ever thought about the DRIVER?? A good driver will def get that car into the 13's
I bet my sister could drive a car with that laundry list of goodies well into the 13's......and she sucks.

Ok let me simplify it for people, mustangs should be a mid to high 13 second car bone stock from the factory, I lay blame on fords shoulders. A mid 15-16 second mustang is attrocious and an embarrasement

With suspension work, minor bolt one, gears & stall you could hit low 13's...... just look at RSW..... hes running 12.8X's with minor bolt ons (exhaust, etc.), TC, shift kit & 4.10's w/ suspension work.

RE: Will I crack 13s with this set-up???
He doesn't have a shift kit, he's got a manual valve body. But his set up is kind of what I'm going for. No heads or cam, just everything else around it. I want to really surprise some people with what a bolt on 5.0 with an AOD can do. Especially for the guys at my work because they're all chevy guys and they're always giving me **** about the mustang and how chevy motors are cheaper to build up than fords.
