Welcome to the CMOC community! Good luck with modifing the Stang and the future race against your buddy and his SRT4

Thanks I will need it. Does it sound like I even have a shot?

a mopar performance stage 2 SRT-4 will have around 280whp and 300tq at the wheels....

they weigh 2900lbs without a driver... i'm confident you can beat him on the launch, but the rest of it depends on your mods...

yeah in order to beat that I would have to put down close to 400rwhp, or mid 300s and one hell of a good launch lol. Well we will see

Welcome from Cape Breton, and enjoy the site. Lloyd

Thanks Lloyd. I was just in Sydney today in the Syndport Intustrial Park. Come the summer time I may take a road trip up there and drive the Island. Cape Breton is a beautiful place

I would suggest 4:10 gears they are great and if you are really concerned about the rpms, i just went to saskatoon from winnipeg this summer w/ my uncle. He has 4:10 gears in his 2004 Mach 1 and he had better gas mileage and low rpms than me and i still have stock 3.27's i believe. honestly i think personally the best way to go (for bolt ons) is first and formost intake and exhaust. even just putting on better mufflers if you can't afford headers and mid pipe make a huge diff. I just put Mac long tube ceramic coated headers and prochamber on my 03 gt and it made a huge difference. as for tuners id say SCT or Diablo, but getting a dyno tune and advice from a shop will tell you more because they can go more detail into how the car runs, and etc. And for my last advice if your gonna buy something and the difference is 100 dollars to the better stuff wait the whatever it will take to save that up and purchase the better stuff don't cheap out and buy something that is second best(if your gonna be driving it hard). Personally id rather wait and get what you know you want and what will do best for your car. if any of that helps great if not and have any questions ask ill give you the best knowlegde i can later

as well a short throw shifter will help you get through the gears a little faster and take some time off your shift only a few secs can make the difference and get you a better jump start and they are cheap only a couple hundred :) something to consider

Yeah, Ive got an AEM intake and Jegs 2.5" catback. Im working at doing the Xpipe, and headers, gears and tune all at the same time, I need to get better tires, right now Im on 245/45/17 Bridgestone Brizzaks lol, not the best for dragging lol. Thanks for the advice, I think I will go with 4:10s as well

im putting on 305/35/18's on my rear what size of rims do you have?? you should get a drag radial tires, really sticky and soft, don't last long but are great. What kind of headers were you thinking of?
