Rhett Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ok here is the deal. I bought My Mustang A year ago. When I bought it I could clearly see some mods that it had (K&N intake, BBk 70mm TB, and suspension work) Now I bought it and took it to the track and ran a 13.8 I forget at what speed. So I figured this couldnt be all thats done to it. So I was wondering what else could have been done to it? I am thinking maybe a gear 3.73? And maybe a tune. Now I have taken it to Ricart (I used to work there... Discount) to have my Axels replaced along with a caster camber kit. They took it out on a "test Drive", prob fucking around with it, and said that it was Strong for just a "Mustang with Air upgrades". So I asked them what they thought and they gave me a bunch of maybes. They told me maybe small cams or head work, maybe injectors, maybe a tune. So the madness behind this post is I was wondering who I could take it to, to see whats done if anything besides what I have added since. And about how much would they want to do this. I am going to have my room mate run it out if not too much. Thanks for the help in advance. -Rhett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 probably just a gear. the injectors if stock will be like a yellowish orange color doubtful it has head work or cams, youd be able to tell at idle intake exhaust and gears should definately net you 13.8 1/4 mile times and the people at ricart are not as smart as they seem.

88lx5oh Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 your thoughts from before are probably spot on. dont waste the money to let someone look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's probably stock or close to it. Anything 99+ got the PI heads so running 13's should be no problem for a stock 2-valve. I've run 13.9's in bone stock 99+ GT's many times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 rhett take it to me ill put it threw its passes to see what done to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yeah, that's just slightly faster than stock. At that speed I'd doubt it has gears. But the easy way to check, stock 3.27s will turn 2000RPM at 70mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resurection Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 jack up the back of the car, rotate the tires one turn, and count how many time the driveshaft turns. That will be your gear ratio. 3 3/4 turns = 3.73, 3 1/2 turns = 3.55 and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would say its close to stock, I took a 01 GT 13.30 @102 with a gear and no cats on stock tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ok I got a new question what do you think with my known setup I should be running. Setup: K&N cold air, BBK 70mm tb, MAF, BBk o/r x-pipe, Flowmasters (40s), Suspension Work on street tires and a 100 wet shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 You're going to need some DR's with that setup and a stock 3.27 gear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
