I would start with H/C/E with supporting mods and a rear end with good tires.

Maybe low 14s, High 13s. Those years just weren't suppose to be fast. Good Luck with it.

dont mind tim...hes a ****ing tool. Probably saying mid 13's if not low.

Oh and 1994-1995 GT's were still 5.0

1996 Was the first year of the 4.6

Low 14's high 13's.
Reasons:
95-98 were the slowest years.
No real mods except bolt ons. You got some CAI and Headers. Who knows how good the tune is. IT's probably OBD-I
You gotta drive it. IT's not an auto. Got some clutch mods, but, why? It's not putting out a ton of power.
3:73's won't get you much. You'd need 4:10's for there to be any real difference with the 5 speed.

You gotta figure they were 14.8's car stock. It's over 10 years old with just headers/pulley as a mod. That is not going to take off a second, sorry. High 13's are pushing it.

95's still had the 5.0, def gonna be well into the 13's with a good driver. seen quite a few bone stock ones hit mid-low 14's......now if it was a 96-98 it would need a lot more work to hit 13's....either way good luck with it man 5.0's FTW!

Thanks 4 the input. The car has 74,000 miles new clutch right now. I plan on reducing some weight Since lighter is better. When i get money 4 the mods hopefully soon. Must thank the guy 4 running a red light. What would 5grand get me at. I hope pretty good. My friend has been talkin trash since he had a LT1 police package caprice. Now he has 99 LS1 trans Am. I would look good against the caprice *not so much* against trans am.

15 second car, 14 if you're a good driver. SN95 motors are only rated at 225HP if I'm not mistaken, full-length headers + cats? I'd say its a 250HP car if it has a fresh-tuneup, 14 second car probably

95 you had the option of the 5.0 or 4.6? I thought there was a GTS and a GT model? I gotta look it up.

my buddy has a 5.0 94 with basically almost everything you have modded.. minus the underdrive pulley, suspension, and ur chip but he does have an Off road H pipe and 4:10 Gears.. and he is still in the low to mid 14's.. my car has beaten him plenty of times.... which is basically stock.. esp cause u only start out with 230 RWHP.. those mods alone wont push your car into the high 13s.. ur gonna need around 300 RWHP with a mustang.. in that model.. the Fox Bodys were way lighter..

I think we could more accuratly help if you told us how fast you personally have driven the car in the quarter. Stock your car is rated at 215hp. Realistically for the age and drivetrain loss your not even hitting 200whp right now. Your car is about 3300lbs dry, so about 3500 or more with gas and a driver. Despite what you may hear, fox body mustangs are roughly the same weight as the sn95's.

What are you trying to do with the car? Drag car? Daily driver? With that list of mods, you'r really only going to gain 20-30hp. So your still under 240 hp. If your trying to keep up with newer cars or even to be respectable, your best bet is to get a heads/cam/intake package along with exhaust, mass air meter and injectors. You will gain an easy 100hp and probably much more depending on how radical you want to go. If your set on buying the stuff you listed, a few comments:

Underdrive pulleys: Mustangs dont have a great cooling system to begin with, why make it worse by slowing down the water pump? Also, be prepared for dead batteries depending on how far you underdrive your alternator. Do you have a stereo or any extra electronics?

Granatelli mass air: Your throttle body is 60mm. If you get a bigger mass air, where will the restriction be? Wanna make that mass air worthwhile? Better get a bigger throttle body too, oh and a better intake manifold, and some better flowing heads, and a bigger camshaft while your at it.. See where im going with this?

Superchip: Dont even waste your time or money. Do yourself a favor and just increase your timing a little bit instead.

Aluminum flywheel: Sure you get rid of some rotating weight, but you lose inertia between shifts. Probably not going to go any faster at all. May feel a little smother and rev more quickly in nuetral, but thats about it.

heads, cam, full exhaust, then procharge the **** out of it. then you can run 12s

Put a small shot on it.

Or any type of F/I best bet.

I would look for a vortech kit that comes with just about what you need. Then some minor tuning you could hit 12's

spray and gears is definitly the easiest way, although most people dont want to mess with nitrous. Also it amazes me everyone talking about hitting 12's with a blower and this and that. You can get 11's with no problem with a good heads/cam/intake setup. Blowers are great but why not make the same or more power without a blower and for around the same amount of money? Then you can add a blower later on if you really want more power.

twistedlanes

How about a stroker kit, intake, exhaust, gears, AND a supercharger.
oh and a second job to pay for it.

Not spray. I would like to go with all motor. I was checking out trick flow Intake/heads/Cam setup. It didn't have a price. But I'm hearing trick flow is a good way to go. If anybody know the price range 4 that setup let me now.

You'll also need a fuel pump, injectors, and a mass air.

yeah on a fox bodied car. people like superchargers just cause they want to say they have some sort of forced induction. they are a pain in the ass and you certainly don't get close to everything you need in a vortech package to complete the kit unless you want to be half assed. H/C/I is a good way to get some power but id try to pick a combo that has low-mid power, once you start spinning the r's outta those motors is when they start to take a ****.

That will just give him an excuse to build a better bottom end. More business for the engine builders....

This is gonna get me flamed, but if you want something a little different, and a ****load faster than a 5.0 with the same money into, without ANY weight reduction, put a LS6 into it. You can find them pretty cheap, and the swap kits are pretty plentyful.
you go from a 215 hp motor, that needs heads, cam, pistons, crank, and an computer tune to be near the power that the ls6 will make stock.
And i am not a chebbie guy by any means.

personally I feel the 94-95 5.0 is just a car foe people that was to do small mods and drive daily, if you want a racer get a fox or a 99+ 4.6(unless you wanna spend the little extra for better heads for the 96-98)

Whats you price range I know you can get a 94-95 cobra for like 5-7k or 96-98 cobra nor much more, 99-01's can be 15-17k on average.

It matters more in what YOU want the car to do THEN decde what stang to start with.

You can find a good 99-04 for a decent price. I got mine 02 Gt for a hell of a deal. 13,500 with 32k miles and that was almost 3 years ago. Anyways I'm more of one to stay N/A but that is just me. I like being different.

my setup: STOCK 5.0 HO from a 92 mark7 (no MAF), t-5, stock gears, underdrive pulleys, electric fan, 160 degree t-stat, stock headers, offroad h-pipe, flowmasters, lightweight flywheel, stage 1 clutch. i should be mid to low 14s. against my stock SRT (at the time) when the motor was still in the mark7, and had no bolt-ons whatsoever, in a heavier car, i was dead even until top of third. i dont know what everyone is talking about that its a slow car or it needs all kinds of motor work to be fast. high 13s with just bolt-ons is definitely do able.

HickRocket1258

It determines though. My buddy has a '89 LX. It took him a decent amount to get him to the mid-high range in the 13s. 4.10 gears will definetly help out a lot though. He went from low 15s almost stock to those times now by stripping interior, gears, maf, injectors, and some other things. Determines if you have the right combination.
