Getting into 11 bracket should be under $ 2500.00 depending on how much you can do yourself vs paying someone the labor. The very first thing is to get rid of those 3.31 gears, they are in the car for gas mileage to keep it from being hit so hard with Gas Guzzler Tax (Which it is getting hit with ) First Mustang I had was a new 83 GT and it had 3.08 gears, when I went to 4.10's it was a whole new beast. For driving on the street and some time at the strip the better gear will be 3.73 which will cost you approx $ 180 to $ 220.00 for the gears. New gasket and fluid another $ 50.00 est. Believe me just gear change and this thing will be like a whole new car. A little less gas mileage but I have a 03 focus for that
But who can stop there, you will need some type of Air - Intake system, reflash computer, Exhaust 3 inch, high flow Cat's (which it has or maybe NO cat's depending where you live and can get away with) ( I don't run them
) pulley change on the charger, underdrive pulley on the crank all those mods are around $ 2500.00 and considered bolt on's. For those wanting every little bit a set of headers will help (hate the tightening all the time till they seat in so I will skip that step) hotter inginiton, dyno tune the computer instead of downloading maps. But the rest I will do for sure and those mods should be worth at least 50HP at the motor. Check some sites and see what has been done with a 03 cobra doing the same mods above how much HP they have gotten out of them and still have a driveable car. Plus you can put it back stock to keep the value when you... if you ever sell it. I have a sickness like allot of people no matter what it is I have to change it
I bought at the time the fastest production motorcycle built a 2005 Hayabusa (
http://www.flairphoto.com/busa.htm) which runs 9.98 1/4 and have had it to 180 using a corrected Speedo and that was not enough I still spent over $ 3000.00 in mods to make it faster, lighter, and different than stock (Go to the address above to see) So believe me when I say mine is going to get worked on and being 45 minutes from a 1/4 mile drag strip it will make a couple passes in its life
! ! ! I am looking for 11's
