Default What should I expect?

I might be going bolt on'srather than hard core N/A just because of the cost So as a start I ran up a quick list...

-Diablosport Predator
-3.73's
-K&N CAI (already installed)
-UD Pullies
-75mm TB
-Plenum
-Spark Plug Wires
-Full Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust
-New fluids all around (water wetter, royal purple, castrol, etc)
-Steeda Race Springs

Whatshould I expect from all this? Both HP/TQ and 1/4mi time... over 300HP/TQ?Low 13's, high 12's? Thanks.

if u have an auto low 14, 5speed, high 13s. Most of the stuff u bolted on such as CAI don't do very much.

The gears will help quite a bit. The exhaust is a nice HP adder also. The rest of the stuff is worthmaybe 5Hp per bolt on. So I'm going to say if your an excellent driver maybe low 13's , average driver mid 13's and if your a ****ty driver 14's.

Yea I'm thinking prettylow 13's since all those mods will connect with eachother. Also, will I be seeing a big difference with the race springs? Because I wanted to do a little on the appearance (grill delete and chin spoiler) and theyre almost the same price. Which would you go with?

Well I'm a performance over looks guy so I'd say go with the springs. but what ever. Do what make you happy! Nothing wrong with slapping a few visual mods on the stang to make it stand out in a crowd.

id be impressed if you run in the high 13s...it sounds like you dont have a world of experience at the track, and you dont list good tires as a mod...

considering that there is a thread a few posts down in this section, with a guy running an 01 gt with better mods than you have, and he only ran 13.70s...

I don't think those mods will cut a second off the 1/4.

@Marine: Why are you looking at 3.73's? Have you ruled out 4.10's and some better tires?

i would look into an X or H pipe...and if cost allows, some LT headers....this is going to be your greatest HP increase N/A

With his mods, gears won't make much difference. I scream thru the traps in 4th gear. My gears didn't make much difference, and if I had it to do again, I would leave 3.27 in it.
