Had headers and took them off, had nothing but problems with them as far as leaks, and rusting...I can't notice a differnece between the 02 factory manifolds which flow good compared to them honestly. So everyone agrees with a stall and some tires I will be there
From a roll he will probably still murder you. From a dig with you on drag radials with a stall it may be close if he is stock. Those new 5.0 will trap 111 -112 auto or stick and with a tune and cold air 114+ in good air. You need at least full bolt ons with stall and drag radials in a full weight car to make it close or you beat him if you got a really good running car. When I say full bolts I mean , lid, P&P throttle body, underdrive pulley, cold air, headers, off rd Y, exhaust, stall and tune at least to give you a chance.
Hey guys, so the weather here has been real bad lately. My girlfriend drives the lexus, all i have is the corvette's and my 02 z28 so obviously i drive the Camaro. Problem is i've been wanting more power, and have been outran twice by the same friggin '11 GT. My car has exhaust and a tune, its a A4 with 70k miles. My question is what should I do to get this car to come alive? I've seen the Mass airflow sensors, throttle bodies, yada yada, can someone tell me what's the best mods I can do to this car until I can get my vette's out when it's nice. Thank ya.
Yes they do. Weather down here in Ms is not known for great track times and I know of several auto cars that ran 12.60- 12.80 stock @110+. With cold air and tune 12.40 -12.50 @112-114 full weight. There are several on the ford forums that have run deep 11's with full bolt ons, suspension, slight weight reduction ( spare, jack, race wheels) with trap speeds 116- 119. They are very impressive. That is why if you want to insure that you have a chance against one I highly recommend full bolt ons and camshaft or nitrous with good tires and gears if you have a 6speed. If you do tons of weight reduction then you could probably do it with just bolt ons and suspension and tires if you have a good running car with everything setup right.
Get a small cam like the Cheatr from Thunder Racing. This works well with stock manifolds, and you should pick up at least 30hp. Air lid cold air kit(SSRA), and smaller pulley will also help. If your just catching the Mustang on the highway you should be good. You'll need the tires and converter if your racing from a dig.
