You dont have to be as good of a driver in the ZL1 thanks to launch control coupled with no lift shift straight from the factory and magnetorheological suspension.

Amen. way more to running good times than power. I only put down about 460 to the wheel in the old stang but I expect to be very close to 10s. But thats with a drag suspension and slicks.

I'm always at Atco. let me know hwen you guys are going again.


Last week @ atco there was another 2012 5.0 with an intake, boss IM, cat delete, AED tune and axleback running 11.9-12.1 119+ with 3.31 gears on stock tires. Im not saying every mustang with those mods will trap that high but its possible. There are alot of other variables to consider, one mainly being DA

The average for those mods is usally in the 115-116.[/QUOTE]
Just have to know hwere to get parts, I bought my blower from Beefcakeracing AKA Terry Reeves, used militray discounts or black friday sales to get others. And bought a Boss intake wen first came out from Tousley Ford. I didn't sit watch them jump in price liek most people.

You could just got bigs/littles for $550 shipped for rims over xmas as every one was getting rid of the unilug racestars.

Oh I also got my new Dynatech driveshaft for $580 shipped.

This thread makes me smile. Loving reading this stuff. (not being sarcastic here)
Let's not forget a GOOD tune helps out huge. Those 5.0's,.....man, they got some nasty torque when you start modding them puppies. Love those 5.0's 'stangs. A beautiful and nice running machine.
I agree the OP should look into a better wheel/tire setup for the track. That will help a lot. Good luck.

Just raced earlier a 5.0 that runs a 12.3@118

We did 3 20 rolls my 10' l99 pulled on him by a car or 2 lol

I'm not hiding anything. I now have pypes long tubes and a dyno tune. hopefully I will be able to trap around 123mph. My numbers may seem a little high but if you visit a mustang forum, you will see similar mustangs running those those numbers

Who did your tune, if I may ask? Was it VMP or Brenspeed? A GOOD tune is very helpful waking up mods like these on a 5.0. Your car seems to run pretty awesome from what I read here. I like it man!

I can't wait for my wife to finally pick out her camaro. Why cause it will be setup rigt. And crush what others have done. Running some the best times. Cause I will do it right instead of just throwing money and parts at it like most.

Let me know when that cammed car runs a decent time. And anything other then low 11's isn't decent.

I agree with you that most people are doing just what you said. We can agree on that, just for your FYI... My cam is TINY 218/228 .556 .565 on the bone stock valve train, it is FAR from being a low 11-10 sec cam. My car wont be setup for a wile, Ill be happy with mid 11s with it in the DA I run in. Once I get the cash saved for uprades I want and get my driving down.... then I will be swaping for a much more agressive cam and tune. I still need to upgrade my exhaust and intake on top of it so there is still more in it even with this cam. I wont really know were this little cam will get this car for a wile, I want to run a full race wheel tire setup, one piece drive shaft, stiffen up the rear suspension and start taking it from there. but the plan is to run low 11s high 10s cam only.

Again the issue isn't what a car et's on a tire. He ran 12.0 at what speed 113?
Since when does cutting 1.8/1.9 on street tires suck lol. You only ran an 11.4 with your m6 and a tire? Doesn't Shaun from aed break into the 10's on a tire with less mods then both of us. Either way a cam and a tire won't give him 7.5 mph.

No.Shaun didn't have less. He had a lot of work done. Full drag suspension, e85, removed shit like windshield wipers, ported intake, TB, drag brakes, race seat, with rest pulled, etc etc.

WBT on s197/modularfords went a tenth faster then Shaun with less mods actually.

And a cam, and doing bigs/little's can help him gain a lot. Big cam to gain 40-60hp then dropping as much as 130lbs roll weight. His car will be a lot faster then you think. Will come down to driver.

What mods do you have?

[ehab]

I can care less about what my car runs in the quarter mile. My concern is how high my car will trap. I'd rather run a 12.3 at 118 mph than run 11.8 at 115. I also wanted to make it clear that Debro ran his 11.8 at 121 mph prior to his headers and dyno tune. He did it with boss intake manifolds, axle back, H pipe, and a tune. He hasn't yet run his car since he got his headers and dyno tune.

Thanks bro. At the time I did 121 I had and AED tune but I have had tunes from just about everybody exept VMP. They all seem to preform relatively the same. The main difference was customer service which I felt AED was the best in that regard. I recently installed pypes headers and now have a REv Auto dyno tune. I'm going to atco on Friday so I can see how much I gained

It was also a 12.0@114. Thats no mods but a tire.

Headers isn't gaining a lot if he was already cat delete. Was he was on E85 also right?

I apologize for my confusion but I thought you were the guy in video with the automatic mustang running 10.87. he not going to do big and littles. Obviously if he does more then just a cam his car will gain more.

Winning. Guess that trap was a little inflatted. Maybe a great DA with some spin.

Where In TX are you?
