Car=2000 Mustang GT Manual
Nitrous+N/A Build
Goal = 320-350 RWHP 400+with Nitrous
Street car forever! - Replace anything and everything that ever fails on me to keep it on the road for the rest of my life.
My final decision on my car is to maximize n/a rwhp while still being a reliable daily driver. My choice for this is just because there is something about a naturally aspirated build that just makes me feel good. Im not saying that N/A is better than Forced Induction. I know that Forced Induction is the only way to reach really high HP numbers. Im not trying to debate anything here, i just chose to go N/A and thats what i have decided to do.
I wanted to share my build list and update it as the car progresses with pictures videos and E/T's once i get that far. I feel that the 320-350 RWHP is a realistic goal as well.
Build list in the order they will be installed, starting with mods i currently have=
Currently have-
SR lowering springs
Steeda rear lower control arms
Steeda rear upper adjustible control arms + UPR torque box reinforcements (upper/lower)

A/C Delete and 350 lbs total in various weight reduction
Steeda Underdrive pulleys
SR Caster Camber plates
SR Short throw shifter
Bama SF4 Tuner
3.73 gears- changed to 4.10 (4.10 performing way better imo for a street car)
Koni orange shocks and struts
Steeda full length subframe connectors
BBK 300 lph pump
Ford 24lb injectors
Ford racing 90mm Lightning MAF
Flowmaster american thunder catback
31 spline Aluminum driveshaft
31 spline moser axles
31 spline Ford LOK Limited slip
BBK offroad x pipe
Weapon X coils
UPR battery relocation
Aeroforce interceptor gauge/oil pressure/Air-fuel
Future installs-
15x10 rear racestar w/ Mickey thompson ET radial 275/50-15
15x3.75 front racestar w/ Mickey thompson sportsman SR 28x6-15
Team Z tubular k member - should save 70 lbs up front.
BBK ceramic shorty headers
Trickflow 38cc twisted wedge cylinder heads
CMS Stage 2 cams
Nitrous express mainline kit
Snow performance stage 2 MAF boost cooler using meth injection in conjunction with the nitrous
Thats my build so far. If there are any veterans out there that would like to maybe look over my list and see if there is anything im missing it would be much appreciated. I have fallen in love with the drag strip and this is actually my first drag car ive ever built.
Oh and please spare me the "throw a supercharger on it and be done" comments. I have my reasons for wanting to be N/A and there is just something about it that motivates me.
Thats it. Thanks for reading and if you do look over my build feel free to give me any suggestions it would be much appreciated, check back on the progress anytime youd like.
P.S. I am also a newb drag racer, so it might even be better for me to learn how to drag like this first and than one day maybe step up to a SC or turbo.
