Awesome updates!! I just installed LT Headers and Catted Y-Pipe on mine this weekend. Due to time availability- I choose not to do my Engine Mounts. My car has 30,000 original miles, so I opted to wait until I have a house with a shop before I do the mounts.

I'm curious to know how you do that the track.... Keep us updated!!

definitely im interested as well... I did a 13.2 on street tires, bad cat, low air quality and hot out. I have an idea of where I want to be in my head however not sure if it will get there.

Put down 349WHP/359WTQ on a mustang dyno under load

my next list of non-tune effecting mods is :

-pro 5.0 shifter w/ short stick (I have my hurst shift ball already)
-shift light in vent or somewhere concealed
-MSD 2 step launch controller 8733
-SLP line lock
-new pads and rotors
-black billet front grill with white SS (gives it that old school touch)

Solid runs man car def has more in it with better weather. However I still see plenty of HP bolt ons in that mod list than can be done to the motor I'd call that a mild bolt on car at this point lol

ya I prob phrased it wrong lol. bolt on ranges lol its kinda like when a girl says hooked up... kissed or had an orgy lmao

I dont think im gonna do under drive pulleys and gonna save cam/heads for next season maybe or a blower idk i wanna c what number I bottom out at on my runs cause then once u go 11.5 u get flagged until u do a cage so thats opening up a whole other can of worms thats why I didn't do heads/cam now

Ya udp is one thing, next thing and most important is a light clutch, the stock one weighs a TON, next you could go to an electric water pump, then a turn one ps pump and a couple other small things. I don't count hc as bolt ons

I am gonna prob wait on stuff like that till I can free up more cash. I assume I will need a rear within the next year.

Awesome Run!! I can't wait to get my 02 SS to the track and see what it'll do.... Sadly, there are no 1/4 mile tracks in North Alabama. We're limited to 1/8 only....

But, dang good numbers!! I really like your 60' time!! What RPM's are you leaving at?!

4-4500, I want to leave higher though actually my tuner is telling me my 60' should be down lower with this setup.

Going to do the MSD plug/play 2 step soon which should allow me to launch consistently

Man, I'd be scared to watch my 10-Bolt shatter leaving at that many RPM's.... And you're wanting to leave higher?! Ha Ha!! I know you installed 4.10's, but didn't you maintain the stock 10-Bolt?!

I noticed you had a MGW Shifter listed as one of your first mods, then a Pro 5.0.... Did you not like the MGW? Are you still running the stock clutch? It looks like your suspension is completely stock and you have no Sub-Frame Connectors?

With that being said, you are hooking up and putting it to the ground!! Love watching your updates!!

if I blow it ill do a 12 bolt, 9 inch whatever. since I am laid off I did a budget build. I really wasnt even looking to buy the car at this time but it found me for a great price so I did what I could do to run some good times this summer

MGW is more money I had it in my c5 z06. My tuner told me pro 5.0 with a short stick is awesome so figured I would try that. stock clutch ,stock suspension

2 Step is installed...

very easy install . mounted on passenger side, plug in between the coil pack harnesses on both sides of the motor,

use the blue/white wire and tap into pin 32 on the top ecu plug , gray wire for the 12v clutch signal.

and bam your all set !
