Isn't one of the cheapest way to get traction in a SS is to buy the expensive 18" C6 Zo6 rims and then drag radials. That ought to eat up a large portion of said budget. Sounds expensive and thats probably why so many SS owners dont own proper drag racing tires compared to all the mustangs I see with dedicated drag tires for pennies on the dollar due to the small 15-17"ers they run. Then kiss you stock IRS bye bye if you happen to have a dead hook if you didn't spend some of that money on that section of the car.
Dollar for dollar the 5.0L wins

170 for z06 replica rims.
Look at my sig, couple of boltons and a blower stock pulley on stock size nitto 555 Dr`s, stock motor high 10`s.. low 12`s w/ just headers, CAI and a tune, stock tires. Doesn`t take much to make them run, you just need proper part selection which sadly seems to be lacking in the 5th gen community.. As far as the IRS goes, mines completely stock and holds up to over 500rwtq and 1.64 60 foots dead hooking just fine.
