theres a guy that i met recently and he's gota '99 GT. he's gota mach1 functional hoodscoop, 3.73, a JTL CAI, maybe some pullies and i didnt see any headers. i'm sure he's gotta tune and he's got nitto drags. he SAYS he dips into high 12's. is he full of sh*t or is that actually possible.

[orangeRcode]

I call BS on that one. The shaker system he has is probably the CDC and it is no better functioning than the Mach system. It helps get some cool air under the hood but not much hp added. Even with gears and stickies at sea level, I don't think that car would see 12s. I would ask to see one of his slips. I'll bet he can't produce one.

[GTSilver]

i'll bet your absolutly right...by the way, i saw a mach just like urs at school today but it had the black chrome mach rims...it was SWEEEEEET.

I've never seen a 99-04 car do that without some kind of forced induction, nitrous or 5,000 under the hood and frame

[GTSilver]

WWWEEEEELLL i wouldnt go that far....haha i've seen quite a few mustangs hit high 12's n/a (no super charger, no nitrous) maybe heads and cams tops and slicks, if even that much.

[raceruler03]

your still talking 2500 in heads and cams plus installation, probably another 800 in tires. At least thats what it runs for those kind of parts and installation around here.

[orangeRcode]

Mine will n/a. Bolt-ons and slicks.

I assume you are talking 2V?

[GTSilver]

thats a little steep...good set of nitto drags will run bout 300 bux...i've seen heads for bout 12-1500. but even then i've seen some mustangs hit high 12's without heads and cams...for example...you stick a set of 4.30 or even 4.10 in a manual trans car with a back seat delete, take out the spare tire, get some good stickies, long tubes, pulleys, cai, good set of pipes, good tune, maybe some intake mods(no nitrous or super)a good stiff suspension and i'll bet a whole dollar that with the right driver that sucker will hit a 12.

[raceruler03]

yeah I was talking 2v. I've never seen a set of nitto drags run 300 for 17s, though I need some for my 18s, streetable that is. Anyway I guess it is possible, but by the time you add all the mods what is that gonna put someone at?

$4,000 tops. i think that even $4,000 for all that stuff is a little too much...maybe even $3,500. 2 nitto drags for a set of 17's will run you $169 a piece. for 18's maybe $200 a piece...remember you only need two drag radials.

[raceruler03]

true, at the moment I am l close to needing 4 new tires, I know nitto has the streetable drags, any idea what they're running?

[GTSilver]

yea those are them...the nitto drag radials...but they just came out with a new model so u might be able to get the originals a little cheaper. As far as your front two tires go...just get whatever high speed tires you can from nitto..they dont gotta be d/r. good luck!

[raceruler03]

you think I should stick with nitto or try bf goodrich for the tires. I want something that is gonna hook up at the track and on the street.

[GTSilver]

bfg...they're expensive as shit but they're suppose to be the best.

[raceruler03]

wow according to discount tire.com they are about the same for 18in wheels

[GTSilver]

get them...i was gonna get some down here and they were almost twice as much if we're talkin bout the same tires...

[raceruler03]

they're like 240 something a piece.

if they are the same price go with the BFG's...i mean even chip foose uses BFG's they gotta be good! i've heard only good things bout BFG's. i had BFG mudders on my 2000 f-150 and if they performed awsome!!! better than any other tire i know of so u can just imagine how good the D/R are.

[raceruler03]

Yeah I gotta get some bigger rims first these are 18x8s and I want to get some 10.5 in the back
