Mods to beat Nissan 350z stock?

[Cobnial]

I just bought my tuner and 4.10 gears combo today and Im excited to get!

so in about a week my mods for my mustang V6 2006:
-pypes singleback exahust
-K&N FIPK CAI
-4.10 gears
-91 bama race tune

My brother always talks **** that he can spank my car in a quarter mile. He owns a stock 350z. I think its 305 hp

My question to you all is

Which mods do you think i need to beat him ?

A super charger would be the best.

Really, 350z's and 370z's are more in the GT league. Where our V6 Mustangs might run 15.3ish 1/4, a 350z will probably do a 14.2 or even faster.

I'm not sure how much faster a 4.10 would get you down the track, but you'd probably be right behind him if you both were the same driving skills with those mods. Just my guess really.

It may be close for an 1/8 mile, but after that he's going to pull on you.

nitrous

x2. Or trade in on a Mustang GT.

Unless you have thousands to flush on a supercharger this is your best route given the mods you already have. I think the only other thing you are missing is maybe pullies, which only net another 5-10hp.

Heck, if you are right side up on your trade in, the money for a supercharger could get you a nice 06-07 GT. Just saying

Both cars weigh ~ 3300 lbs. stock so you need to make up for the 85 horsepower advantage he has.

In addition to what you're already doing:
-long tube headers
-off road mid pipe or high flow cats
-pulleys
-throttle body
-aluminum driveshaft
-rear seat delete
-remove spare tire
-light weight wheels (with drag radials & skinnies)
-remove anything else you can think of for weight reduction (stereo, carpet, insulation, etc.)


That should get you close enough in power to weight for it to be a driver's race with you having the advantage from the launch and him having the power advantage on top.

To convincingly beat him though you'll either need engine work or a power adder (supercharger, turbo, nitrous).
