high or low 12's. would say slicks, heads, cam, and tune. after that you should be in the high 11 or low 12's

Would 24# injectors a 80 mm maf and 150 shot of NOS and slicks get me in the high to mid 12s?

Why does everyone say a tune? Our cars don't gain that much from them unless they are boosted really. But yes slicks and a h/c/i would get you there or just a nice shot of laughing gas. I hope you have that trans beefed up with something other than a shift kit though. Is it a c4 or aod?

You need to read 5.0's dec 2008 issue starting on page 56.

Its a AOD but im putting a T5 in it, but I have a race against a Buick grand national and there is no way i am going to lose to a ford hater!!

24lbs injectors are too big for stock heads. They are not needed until you upgrade to at least some GT40's, They are the cheapest route to go and can get you there. My gt 40 swap cost me about $300 to buy and install them.

The article in the mag
3.73's
shed some weight
exhaust
lower control arms
CAI
slicks
electric fan
bat relocate
and a couple of other tweaks and they went 12.91 at 103.7 on a completely stock motor (except the CAI, and a little change in the front acc bracket setup)

Where did you find GT40s for that price??
