Was the car that achieved a 13.42@103.22 FULLY bolted on? Is your goal to reach 12.999 in full street trim? Lastly, any chance of getting negative DA in your area?

Interesting thread, although one we have had discussions about here on this board already.
I definitely feel like a very low 13 second pass (say 13.1 - 13.2 range) should be entirely possible without going too nuts on a custom N/A V6 build but I also have a feeling that we will never see that 12.999 pass. One or two V6 Mustangs have done it. Here is the video of the one I'm familiar with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW5ac8qRNwE Here is a description of mods from the youtube page: The car has the following mods: C&L CAI, AM/Bama 93H tune, BBK LT's with matching O/R X-pipe, Flowmaster 'Force II' axleback with a set of stock '11 GT resonators welded in (to tame the sound), 3.73 gears, J&M LCA's, Shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft, Steeda shifter, Spec Stage 1 clutch, 17" Race Star wheels, M&H bias ply front tires and 26x11.5x17 M/T ET Street bias ply rear tires. If you watch the passes, you will see that his launches are incredibly hard. That car just hooks up and goes and I feel that is exactly what you are going to have to do to even get close to a super low 13 or high 12. With an automatic transmission, that means that a proper stall will absolutely be necessary, a long with drag radials and skinnies. It doesn't appear that he has much air in those rears either to give him maximum traction. In my opinion you have a great list of mod ideas in your first post that will help out a lot. But I feel there are a few things you should pass on, such as the cams, IAT relocations, and the under drive pulley. Wheels/tires, suspension (which you seem to mostly have covered) and gearing will be your best bet. I'd go with the 3.91s, but as rtcat600man has pointed out, the gears are going to hurt you mpg quite a bit, and if you do a stall that could also hurt your driveability, so you are going to have to be the one to make those decisions. If you don't mind the hit on driveability, and the possible hit on resale later on then by all means mod to your heart's content lol. Removing some temporary weight (the seats) sounds great as well. Last but not least, track prep, and the DA where you run will be another big factor in your pursuit which unfortunately may never be exactly what you need. |

It is possible to get negative DA here, I have run in around -600DA last year. I do plan on keeping the car street legal since it is my DD when it is not winter. |
I prob won't end getting the cams but why do you think the IAT relocation and pulley would be a waste KM?

Get your self some nice light weight racing seats and remove the back seat. Also Carbon fiber doors should cut around 50-100 lbs I would think (could be wrong) but are like $1000 each!! look at replacing your glass rear and side windows with lexon that should save a bunch of weight too

Id still love to see one of you NA guys go with a stroker kit.... Thats where the power is at!

Carbon Fiber doors? I think at some point there needs to be a diminishing value on the return. Im all for getting a sixxer into the 12's, but $2000 in doors is extreme IMO. Could always buy a 2011 Mustang :wave:;) j/k

I'm no v6 expert and not trying to act like I am. But I'd think 4.10 gears and and a 3600 sta with some weight reduction and sticky tires should help you a lot

As for the IAT, I feel like once you swapped out intakes, this probably really doesn't help much at all. I guess maybe it is possible it could help at the track, where you may end up sitting in line while you are staging for your run and moving the temp sensor to a location in a low part of the intake box could read slightly lower temps than the intake/throttle body tube. |

Yes, he was bolt on only. I remember when he did this pass. There is some history on it in the drag thread. Fastest 60' to date from all the info. I have gathered in that thread is 1.936 |
