build you suspension better, stickier tire and you'll get close if its a 5 speed. at least mid to low 13's

i'm thinking adding the 90/10 50/50 set up with SFC and the UPR contro arms with maybe a set of mt et streets to the combo above will hit 12.9 or atleast a low 13 on a 5spd. the only worry is will the t5 hold up to those crazy launches on mt's and will the rear end last also?

Edit: rear seats, jack, spare tire will come out and the smog pump will be bypassed also if that helps

dont launch super hard. there really isnt a need to decimate your transmission. high RPM roll out and you only lose like 1-3 tenths IMO depends how aggressive you are on the roll out through the beams, especially if you stag deep and at good with the lights.

but yea just count on low 13's at least with gears, suspension work and a good sticky tire on stock motor. with a good base to go off, you can only get faster

Strange 10-way adjustables are what I'm using in the rear. KYB's are a decent bit stiffer than stock. I've still got them up front because I don't plan on replacing them until I go to a coil over.

If you get springs, get caster camber plates. If they come in the kit, great, otherwise make them part of your purchase. You will regret it if you do not, as the stock caster camber plates can barely keep a stock suspension stang aligned.
