whats going on people i need your advice. i love to drag race and have been for a while. i have owned both stangs and chevys over the years but none of them have been really fast. i drive a 01 gt and it has a lot of bolt on stuff done to it , i wont go into the list cause we already know that stuff. ihave the chance to get a good car but should i mod my 01 or buy a car ready to race. i have about 10,000 bucks but i dont want to spend money and hate the ride i have built. my idea with my o1 is to put in a 4;56 rear gear with axels and c-clamp elems, long tube headers and x pipe, a set of comp cams and springs, good clutch, keep in mind that the car has bbk cold air intake mass air meeter, 75mm tb and lower plenum, under drive pulleys, pcm has been reprogramed and i will be running on slicks. to all that i was thinking of also putting on one of the nos direct individual port fogger kits and running the gas at a 125hp shot. with all this i would like to get the car to run 11.50 or better in the 1/4 mile..... but i have the car set up nice as it is for my daily driver . i have an suv and i will be able to drive my suv daily and also pull the drag car to the track... or i have been seeing nice 5.0 lx and gts around on the net for like 7,000 bucks on a web page called racingjunk.com of those stangs i have seen i have even seen them with superchargers on them. i want a car that i can run 11.50 in and tune and run faster. i say 11s because im sure that some work will need to be done unless i get real lucky. i really want a 10 second ride, but not sure if i would be asking to much of my 2001 gt with its stock bottom end to run this fast and no break parts... can anyone give me some real advice

there are some N/A guys running under 12.00 here. it is possible with the car set up right, and you should easily be in the mid to low 11's with all that stuff plus the 150 shot. its all about getting traction and making your car as light as possible.

so if you had the chance to put your hands on a couple of grand would you take your 4.6 and try to run it or would you buy another ride..... i have seen some run really well but i think a couple of weekends at the track and the 4.6 will be done... and then i would have to go and spend another 6500 to get a long block...if your on the net for a minute go to this page for me For Sale: race & performance cars, engines, engine parts, trailers and look up this add number for me and tell me what you think Ad #1052090

[B0B]

well it depends, honestly. if i could put some money into my car i would probably go with some forged pistons/rods then turbo it.

you can get a forged rotating assembly for the 4.6 for $1650. it will make your engine able to handle well above 600 rwhp. then you can run a huge shot of nitrous or go with a supercharger/turbo.

that fox is pretty badass man. but keep in mind that car is not streetable. 13.5:1 compression and 110 octane. thats a track only car. with the 4.6 if you go forged/turbo you can pump out 11's all day and still drive it every day and get 25 mpg on the freeway.

[mrgt]

i saw that but thats more of what i want to run the set up is good but i would rather about 9.5 10 comp still run on pump gas and be good ... i just figured a ride like that would last me for a while aand once it was time to up grad a could take tha hard parts and put them on a nice 408.....

[mrgt]

im still on that site and just keep running into nice cars ... im like a kid an a candy store so many choices ... o yah the 01 if i builld it or the fifty....5.0 will be more of a track car then a street car

[mrgt]

how u get your car to come up on your reply like that... i want to put mine up like that

yeah if your gonna go with a strict track car, you cant go wrong with a fox. those things are light, cheap, and easy to mod. anyways to make a custom signature go to your profile and you can do "edit signature" then you just upload the picture you want and add it to your profile

I have well over 30k in my 01, but I looking at 8s and 9s for 10k I get a Fox body drop a 460 in and be happy as hell. no need to mess with youor D/D My01 will be a trailer car only..

if your looking mainly for a track car,than I agree with the fox body/pushrod motor route. more cost effective imho

Thanks I Have Taken All That You Guys Have Said And I Think I Will Get A Nice Lx ... I Just Talked To A Budy Of Mine And He Just Baught A Lx That Has A Chevy Big Cheif 540 In It And He Loves It The People I Hang With Due A Lot Of Strret Racing And Grudge Racing And. And Another Guy Is A Sneaky One He Baught A Nuce Stock 90gt And Put A Hp Twinn Turbo Kit On It And They Raced This Past Week End. Let Me Tell You Guys They Said That If The 90 Gt Could Have Ran A Lil More Boost The Turbo Would Have Ran All Over The 540. The 540 Is In A Nice Lx And You Cant Even Tell By Looking At The Car That It Had That Motor In It. We Like The Street Car Look While Carying The Biggest Stick Possible . A Lot Of Guys Get More Races This Way And Thats The Way I Think I Will Go.... Thanks People .........
