guy wants to race when it warms up a little bit. its a 2004 mustang gt, full bolt on, no tune as of yet. the car is getting the procharger installed right now, im sure it will be tuned after he gets done. my friend has a 1998 t/a full bolt on a4, trying to find a stall to put in it before time comes. what kind of race do you think it would be, and any suggestions on what else he could do to the car, just to make him feel a little bit better about racing him.

haha there you go buddy seems you found the section

we were just giving you a hard time in the other thread, all funs and games.

The advice you game him is the best.. nitrous and tune. Tires will help as well. There's too many variables for the cars to make a real prediction. How much boost with the GT be making, tires, gears, roll race or dig.. etc.

i know man. o well after i read the rules i was like wow that applies directly to the thread i started.

but the stang has 373's and will be running 8-10 psi, and drag radials, prolly do a couple dig and a couple roll just to mix it up, i guess it may just be all dig, nobody around here roll races alot.

Without nitrous I think the Stang takes it for sure.

do u not think a good stall and full bolt on's could take it? and he's already got slicks and skinnies to go on it from a previous car he owned. that might blow a rearend tho. it's a high mileage t/a 150.000 miles

Get a 4000k stall in with some tires and mop his *** up.(dig)

4000k stall and stickies geez, worry about the rearend any at that point on a stock rearend?

BAH! Bolt on car no worries....

+1 pnyklr.


I don't see how a stall with ~330rwhp would make up a 70RWHP deficit combo'd with 3.73s and 3650 with DR's.

Personally.....I think it doesn't matter until both get used to the setups they do. The GT owner will be new to the setup/power.

yea i think he's gonna try to do full bolt ons, stall and maybe a cam, that's a maybe. yea we found out today we ran the numbers on the car and it said that car has 342 gears have yall heard of that before in a 98 ws6, i havent we got the numbers from the door. anyone have any insight?

ballhawkdawk

I thought the highest they went for a stock auto was 3:23 or something.. 3:42 is the stock 6-speed ratio. Was it an auto swap from a 6-speed?

im going to say that the mustang is going to be in the high high 7 area (1/8 of course)... and trapping high 80s low 90s..

of course there are MANY MANY MANY variables to consider.. you have a VERY narrow mod list for the stang.

i dont know it could be, have to check that out tomorrow. what would be the best way to tell besides just looking to tell if the car has had the clutch took out of it. would there be another sign pointing to that

xhk651

it would have had to be a six speed at some point...

if it is a 98 ws6 a4 it would have had 323s from the factory..

a base ta a4 could have 273s or 323s..

a six speed would come with 342s..

there is a sticky somewhere around here telling you what codes mean what on the door.. i would look into that some more..

BayareaCobra

No, he will be trapping in the high teens possibly 120s. Unless he can't drive to save his life, rape.

xhk651

he wont be trapping in the 120s.. i promise you that..

i would be surprised if it did over 117-118..

ponygt65

Depends on power/work done, but generally, I agree...mid-high teens. If he's putting down 450+rwhp, he could very well trap 120+. Who knows?


Personally, I think he's too new to the car for him to get even close to the potential that the car could have. So, it's too early for anyone to speculate the best case scenario.

xhk651

yes, he could be... but on average, a mustang with that setup wont do over 120+.. now someone that has spent a little time learning the car, and spent the money and built it right.. VERY doable..

+1 on everything...
