Too late already beat him. His was automatic. A got him rite off the line. About a half of car that most i had he gained to where his nose were at my front wheels but we had to slow down cuz the road turned in to one lane. He might of been able to pass me if we went longer but is still count it as win. He was PISSED !

First i have the m5 and my car only has 41,000 miles on it. I have a CAI with a KN airfilter. I got rid of the Ravin muffler cuz it was rusting badly and i put in a flowmaster 80 series with 3 inch tips. Flowmaster sounds better to me too. What year is the gt. Just make sure you have a good launch and u should be fine it will be close though. goodluck

5.10 Gears and slicks then challenge him to an 1/8th mile race.
Before I race I always throw in some octane boost, not sure if it does anything but its nice. Lower the tire pressure in back and fill the front tires to max. Experiment with tire pressure because driving will heat up the tires and they will expand so be ready to deflate them a bit before the race. Maybe with a new car you might need to drive around until the PCM changes the timing for it. If you have a front sway bar, remove it for the race. 1/4 tank of gas, empty the trunk or anything. Remove front shock brushings so that the front will rise easier allowing for better weight transfer. Take off your alternator belt, air conditioner belt for the runs. Gears will make a large difference, I think 3.73's would be pretty nice for your car, just be sure to know that changing a cars gearing effects its entire range of power. Going to 3.73's will reduce gas milage, and at the same speeds as before your engine will be revving higher, and your top end will drop (sometimes quite drastically). As for your exhaust: Horsepower Single Exhaust Pipe Diameter Dual Exhaust Pipe Diameter 200-300 3" 2 1/4" 300-400 3 1/2" 2 1/2" 375-450 4" 3" 450-550 4 1/2" 3 1/2" 550-650 5" 3 1/2" 650-800 - 4" 800-1000 - 4 1/2" 1000 plus - 5" A good launch is the best, because in the first 330ft. of a race you spend 40% of your time.

Re: how can i beat a 98 v8 mustang
He has a 2001 GT (260hp/302torque) so i think i will need more than just a CAI and an exhaust sytem. I am not making this changes to my car just so I can beat him. I was already planing on making some mods to my car before that(I've been saving money for a few months already). But anyway. I have a question. SSRA SuperSucker Ram Air Kit, exhaust system (mine has dual exhaust, i though i would mention that in case that helps), torque converter, LSD, and 3.42 gears. Would that be enough to beat a stang GT (1999 and up)? how much horsepower would that put on my car?
Thanks beforehand for any help. Last edited by Georghino; 09-30-2003 at 02:00 AM.

I would buy those parts in this order: 1) Torque Convertor, mine in a 1968 V8 stalls to 2500, but I'm not sure what will work best in a newer V6, talk to a real mechanic about that, not some parts dealer who also has a sticker bin. 2) Read Gears and LSD. 3.42 or 3.73's would be good. 4.10's if you don't mind a pretty high revving highway experiance. 3) Full length Headers into mandrel bent exhaust (2.25-2.5"), good performance mufflers. 4) Chip reprogramming & New Camshaft. 5) Misc. cheap helpers: Windage Tray ($25 for my car, no clue about yours), manual exhaust cut-outs. Remove Air silencer. The first two will help the most in a 1/4 mile race, the second will help but not as noticable. Make sure your car is as light as possible, take out your spare, and any other weight adder (Sub Box etc.). Every 100lbs is 1/10 in the quarter mile or roughly 10hp gain. Easier to lose weight then gain power. (Remember to take out the jack too). Race with 1/4 tank of gas Practice your holeshot in a deserted parking lot somewhere. - Light Burn out to clean tires and 0-60ft. time. You'll probably need a friend willing to time you, as well as a tape measure roughly. A good start is essential as your 0-60ft. is 15% of the entire race time. Try not to spin too much as the more you spin the less traction you get. Shift through the gears of your auto manually if possible. Lower the rear tire pressure and monitor it after a burn out. Notice the difference, remember your rear tires will expand as the air heats up. I'd drop them in increments of 2psi until you find the best contact patch thats still drivable, and fill the front tires to their max. This lessens rolling resistance up front and allows a larger tire patch in back. Unless they are drag radials the max psi I would lower the rear tires would be 8psi under minumum rating. If you have aftermarket rims and tires they can be quite heavier than the stock ones so puting the stock rims and tires on the front can help some weight. Look at your start and that the tread marks are evenly dark all the way across. If they are darker to the outside you need to increase pressure. Take off your front sway bar. Driving will be weird but it'll help lighten your car a little as well as better weight transfer. Hope this helps.

I almost forgot, do a full oil change, it probably doens't help but will help your engine in the long run anyway.
1) Buy 2 New Oil Filters (NOT A FRAM*) and new light oil, 5w 30 is nice and an equal amount of transmission fluid. 2) Mark your odometer on it so you know when to change the oil next 3) Drain Oil Completly 4) Put filter #1 on (this could be a Fram for all I care) 5) Fill up with Tranny Fluid and run the engine for about 20 minutes. This should clean up the engine inside nicely. 6) Drain Tranny Fluid out, remove wasted filter. 7) Put #2 filter on (I stress not a Fram) 8) Fill up with nice light 5w30 Oil (Synthetic of course). That might help a tiny bit with parasite power at least, as well you'll be happy that your car has nice new oil in it. *The reason not to use a Fram is they are badly made with a lot more paper and cardboard then the other brands. I would suggest using the correct NAPA filter for your car. If you have any questions you want me to answer just send an e-mail to [email protected] (Quicker response) or post here.
