I have a 1999 mustang gt that I want to make fast. Any ideas on the cheapest or most reliable way to do this? What about turbos or superchargers? I was also considering a crate engine.
Well, if its stock, I would say get a new spoiler that is at a 30 degree angle or if you really want, go 40 or 45 but can add drag, then go for cold air intake (not sure if 99 had a good one or not) get aluimium drivshaft with 4.10 gear ratio, take out spare.... get custom tune if you want also, along with spray. Result- Increased rear down force, better gear ratio with less weight with the addition of a new cold air intake it would allow for better cumbusion along with power. Add spray... well that says it all.
hmm, well what effects speed?Not sure if serious...

Aerodynamics/Downforce
Decrease weight and add rear downforce increases rear grip which increases how much power is transfered to ground which decreases wheel spin therefor increased track time.
Rear downforce can start providing downforce around 60 miles an hour cutting mil seconds off time due to increased rear grip. If you have a 30% spoiler it would allow downforce to be aplied while not sacificing for drag which would increase time.
If you think im wrong then why do professionals with 3k+ hp motors have a narrow chassis and a body that is only 1/4" off the ground.
