Default 10 Mustang GT Help

Hello All, I am new to this whole Forum site I am a new Mustang Owner, not too long ago I purchased a Bone Stock 2010 Mustang GT and I love it its Great I see what Ive been missing out all these years. But the Matter is Ive always wanted to take it to a Track to see what this baby can do. I took it to a track I ran Low 14s for my 1/4 Mile around 99MPH. I got a few tips from track members and mechanics But I would like to know what I need to do to get Below 14s????? it seems like thats my limit. Any suggestions or Ideas would be greatly appreciated

10's or 11's? Sounds like you'll be doing some serious mods to go with that supercharger. I'm thinking about $10k-$12k may get you there if you stick with the 4.6L. That would include rebuilding the lower end to handle the more than 450 RWHP that these engines/drivelines can handle... And suspension work, rubber...

Your looking at around 15k. Supercharger, gears, clutch if ur a manual or torque converter if ur an auto, lower control arms, Mickey Thompson tires and rims, upgrade fuel system, heat exchanger the list can go on and on. Be sure to do plenty of research.

Nothing like making a Pretty Quick car even faster, Thanks. I Was looking into a Supercharger Vs a Turbocharger people are telling me that theyre pretty much the same But Superchargers are cheaper. Im going to do some research I think my Mustang will have lots of mods in the near future. But I dont wish to do too much to the point where I cant drive it to work

I'll be right over. I need a supercharger too.

I like the turbo option myself. You can pick the power range you want. You can always go twin turbos and get low and top end help.
