Default horsepower?

I have a 01 mustang gt 4.6 2v ,

can you give me some tips on how to add more horsepower?

i have a 40's flowmaster exaust kit, K&n fuel intake kit, and i just programed the car with hypertech programmer.

i run in the mid 14's on the track at 95 mph (did not time the car after using hypertech)

i want to run in the 11-12's range or even fatser as long as its street legal

can you give me a list of what i should do to my car and prediction of what time my car will run?

Default RE: horsepower?

Just to give you a heads up, any performance mods for the 2v 4.6 V8 are going to be very expensive. But if I had the money to spend, I would go for the bolt on's mainly. Maybe some steeda pulleys, supercharger, etc.....youre looking around a 100-110 hp boost for those two. A wycked cam should give you a good horsepower boost also, and if you are wanting to be a good 12 second car, I would be upgrading suspension (nothing lowered or tight because that will kill your time) and some sticky tires, that helps alot! Just be ready to spend some money[IMG][/IMG]

a supercharger will keep it legal and give you some nice power, should put you in the 12s'. but i don't get the mid 14s' @ 95mph ??? is it an auto ? otherwise it should be a bit faster.
