Default 11.99 1/4

I'm heading to the track at the end of july, during mustang week and im wondering what i need to hit an 11.99, mods are in my sig, plan on adding a 2.8 pulley, dyno tune, and a stop the hop + irs brace package before then. I can drive quite well, but without better tires i cant really launch it hard or power shift before the 3-4 shift without breaking loose. thoughts?

I could see your car (post planned mods) hitting that time, or close to it on a 2.0 60'...

Of course I may not be able to see very well. Keep in mind the July heat wouldn't be helping your cause.

Not having drag radials will definitely make it a lot harder to hit. I'm assuming it will be your first time at the track. That makes it a hard to hit a good sixty because you tend to be a little more jumpy being your first time. And as stated above the heat makes it a bit harder as well.

I agree without race rubber you probably wont hit the mark. Traction is your friend. You car has the mods to do 11s the way it sits now.

You can have as much power as you want, but if it isn't put to the ground properly it's worthless. Like BB said, your car has enough to do it now. I would probably only mess with the suspension stuff and get a set of real good DRs.

If you have the money than do it all, but I think your biggest helper will be tires. The truley make that big of a difference.
