RE: cost effective 13sec v6
Welcome to the site.
I'm going to suggest the M112 as well. It would be nice to see another V6 Roush with one. It's cheaper than most other set ups forforced inductionand allows growth later on if you spend money on heads etc...
Get thoughts of a V8 swap out of your head. I've shown several times how you can make MUCH more power cheaper with the V6 as a starting platform.
Feel free to bug me with more questions.

So how did you adapt your m112? were you the first with the ssm plenum? to save you from alot of bothersom questions do you have some sort of write up or list of mods on your car that you could send me?

Dude, get out of here.

Agreed, you just listed over $3700 in parts (not to mention labor to install) to get to about 230hp or so. The M112 can be done for roughly $2200 or so, and you'llpush mid 340-350 to the wheels with just that and a fuel system upgrade. Even more with improved heads/cam.
And the bottom end will take MUCH more than 300 hp FYI.

How would it not hit 13's with 340hp to the wheels. did you make your own plenum or did you buy the kit i found a guy that made his own. i would like to see some pics or write up on a custom made one.

he asked if he should drop in a 4.6l, that statement was to tell him no because he would spend several grand just to get a stock 4.6l in his car.
and 13's have been hit with a bone stock gt on streets with a pro driver

He was reffering to a stock 99-04 GT. They "can" run 13s, however, it takes an excellent driver to do so.
