new guy needs help

[20GTstang02]

hey im new to mustangs. i got a 02 gt i was wondering what is the best mods to get to hit 11's with it. i want to stay n/a. i was wondering if i could put a 4v heads on it and all that. i dont knwo much about mustangs. thanks for the help.

 

[forum155pl]

your best bet is to run a 4v setup to hit your goal..

my advice is to do some studyin up with the search button then post a thread when you are down to the specifics and cant find your answer in your searches..

welcome

Probably going to be quite a bit' of work to reach those kinda' numbers. In my opinion, which may infact be contrary to the flow of other people's opinions, is to do full Intake / exhaust first.

I'd do the Intake then the headers, mid-pipe(if that's your fancy, even x-pipe is fine I guess..), and the rest of the exhaust system. If the car breathes better then you basically can go gung-ho' on your engine w.out worrying about if it can breath or not.

These are pretty much starter basics..If I were eager to get those times you posted and had the money, I'd do an engine swap and/or SC..I don't know.

4.30's and tuner, DS, MT's, full exhaust, pulleys, CAI, upper plenum and TB, am intake manifold, heads, cams, suspension work, driver mod and maybe weight reductions like rear seat deletes, take out the spare and jack and mess with the tire pressure. These are just some ideas to help you get into the 11's n/a. I really think you should go FI if you want 11's though. It's will be the cheaper route if you don't know how to install mods like gears, cams, heads, etc.

its a lot cheaper to hit the 11s with some kida FI. doing the N/A way is gona cost some seriouse $$$$$.

 

[20GTstang02]

well how much and how hard would it be to put the 4v heads on it. would it be worth it. will the bolt up to the block. im most likely going to go FI. i know its alot easier.

I heard that you have to drill into the block to add the additional bolts. You also have to replace entire front of the motor pretty much, like the intake and ECU. It would cheaper to just buy a 4v motor from a cobra if you want 4v heads. If you do the 4v head swap, you could see around a 50hp gain, but the FI would be the much more logical route money to hp wise.

 

[20GTstang02]

ok i knew the heads would flow better. like i said i dont know much about mustangs. what is the best way to go for FI.

 

[04YELLOWGT]

Supercharger or Turbo.

I went with a Vortech Supercharger.

If you did:

Vortech V2-SQ Trim
3.0-2.9 Pulley
Custom or Paxton A/A IC
Catback
Midpipe
LT or ML Headers
4.10 Gears
MT DRs
42lb Injectors
LMAF or SCT MAF
SVT Focus Pump or Cobra Tank and Pumps

This should get you into the 11s.

 

[20GTstang02]

what about goign tt or would that be to much work if i go FI ill want more then 11's prolly

 

[04YELLOWGT]

Yea they make TT kits but they are pretty expensive, hotmustang made his own but spent a lot of timing doing so but saved a lot of money in the process. You can get into the 10s with a blower, I should easily be there with my new setup this year. Getting into low 11s-high 10s your going to need a built motor for safety.

I ran 11.64 with a 1.85 60’ and letting off at the 1000’ mark and on top of all that I my trans was pretty much shot.

If you want more power all it would take is a T-Trim upgrade.

 

[fobra559]

Don't forget about the suspension work

 

[20GTstang02]

ok thanks a lot guys. im prolly going to go the blower route for now.

 

[04YELLOWGT]

Don't forget about the suspension work

Im on stock suspension. Though that will be my next mod I do.
