2007MustangV6

Is there anyway a 2007 v6 can run the 1/4 mile in the mid to upper 13 second range with only mild bolt-ons? Right now I have FRPP duals, Air Raid CAI, and i'm running a diablosport performance tune. Is there any other mild mods I could add to get me into the 13's? The reason for doing this is that my friend has a '67 mustang with a 289 that disses our v6's all day long and I want to show his *** who's boss lol.

Search for posts by Boss 244. He made a 13 second pass in his 4.0 Bolt on v6. To get 13s you will need a very good tune, cold air intake,exhaust, gears, T-Loc, lower control arms, aluminum driveshaft, sticky rear tires, a little bit of weight reduction, etc. Good track conditions wouldn't hurt either. 13s are definitely possible N/A with bolt ons. Unless your friend has a lot of work done to his 67 289 mustang, chances are your car is faster or just as fast as his.

Thanks a ton for the info Silver Vert 06! His 289 is completely stock and factory rated at 220hp, but that was also in the 60's so I have no clue how much real hp it has.

Intake, tune, 3.73s, t-lok, dual exhaust, nitrous (50-shot) = 13.7 @103 mph.

I'll second what the previous poster said too, as far as already being quicker than a 289.

mild bolt ons no. extreme bolt ons, yes. suspension, weight reduction, all power bolt ons, etc etc.

if you are a manual trans, you will need a new clutch, as mine was slipping pretty bad when id beat on it.

14.3 @ 93mph was my best n/a time with a slipping clutch. most ppl in that range for ET are in the 95-97mph.

You might want to consider getting a better tune. I don't know how well the canned Diablosport tune runs on a V6, but I know when I went from the Diablosport tune to a Bamachips tune on my GT it made a huge difference.

Bamachips race tune are only $50 right now.

Faster or not, I would take the 67' 289 over my sixer

Just get some N20 like AI said.

Don't sell yourself short. Remember the 4.0 is the most powerful base model engine that they have used in the Mustang. Not to mention the 5 speed transmission. He's only got a C-4. If I remember, his rear endis only about 2.88. Also, if it's a 2 barrel, isn't his horsepower 200 instead of 220?

I believe it has a 4 barrel and yes it does have a 2.88 rear end. And oddysey, I would take it too but it's not a fastback nor is it in that good of condition.

My '66 coupe with a mild 289/auto, 600cfm Holley, duals, and 2.80:1 8" open rear ran a 15.0xx, whereas my 4.0L/5 speed just cut a 14.312. I think you'll take him (at the track of course!).
