The Ls1's are quick and carry about a 45-50bhp advantage stock for stock, but the 05 Stangs are quick. A good driver up against an average one should have no problems. Some of the auto's with the 2.73 rear end are only really mid high 13 second cars so well within reach of an 05.
Apart from that, do the usual. A nice exhaust (X/H cat back), intake and gears with a tune.Will make it pretty competative against most cars on the road.
Add headers, pulley and CM plates there's no reason you won't dyno over 300rwhp with a manual. (probably about 350bhp flywheel). Reckon this is getting on for the upper end as a street car, course you could p&p the heads with new cams maybe pickup another 30 or so HP but from here on you really need to be looking at power adders.
Personally I'd keep it simple. Mid pipe & cat back, CAI and gears. Then save for a blower. 400+rwhp will be no problem and still drivable.

[QUOTE="car"azy]there was a gto club at the track (gainsville fl.) this past weekend and one car had twin turbos and another had a pro charger and the best pass I saw was a 12.66 I dont remember the mph but none of them could drive very well[/QUOTE]
...and what did you run? How was the track? Not sure what you are driving, but 12.6 is pretty quick 3800 pound car.

I know those guys. There were there to practice their tree and launch skills and do some final tuning for an upcomming GTO shoot out. Trust me when I say that those cars are FASTER then what you saw. The TT GTO is in 11s already no problem and the ATI S/C was letting out after 3rd gear. The TT GTO made 570 rwtq and the ATI S/C goat made 551 rwhp. . .
I have a few bolt-ons and have run 13.0 at 107 before my new suspension, clutch, P&P TB, x-pipe, and dyno tune.

Trans Am in stock form are not that tough to take down. Put a CAI, tune, 4.10 gears, full exhaust set up, some U/D pulleys, Lower Trailing Arms, and some tires and you'll be in the 12's. Then if you really want to do some playing through heads and cams at that combo and it will move.

This will eventually happen to 9 sec mustangs: http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=880724C3-1AB3-43C9-96A8-491BD5FBDD33
Whichever car you like...make sure you find where the line is for a daily driver or a track runner.
