13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah

import slayer -> 13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah (11/28/2004 4:11:18 PM)
Ok...I just recently read a post on here saying a 5.0 mustang can't break 13's with simple bolt ons without suspension mods and slicks. That just blew my mind!! I guess a lot of people on here don't get to the strip very often. So, anyhow, can some of you guys that know what you are talking about, like myself, clear this up? I'm sure ROUNDMAN can tell you different.

btw i believe roundy has some what you would call bolt ons and runs 13's with badass suspension and slicks, so without them he would be significantly slower, so i really think that you're just arguing to argue here.

Oh...so now you have to have a high post count to know anything[8\|] You guys obviously don't belong to any other message boards or read any mustang mags to cross reference your false claims. I also have a bone stock 88GT that I took the track once and ran a 14.8 at 94mph. You mean to tell me I couldn't hit 13's with gears, exhaust and pullies...and if not then I'm sure an LX could

To some people, nitrous is a bolt on, so it really depends on your definition of the word. Im sure you COULD get the Foxbody into the 13s with bolt ons, but if you want consistent 13 sec ETs, then i would go ahead and work on the suspension anyways.

import slayer -> RE: 13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah (11/28/2004 4:45:51 PM)
No..I don't mean nitrous either. I'm talking N/A engines There is no reason why a 5.0 GT or LX can't run 13's with gears, exhaust, pullies and timing bumped up to at least 14* without slicks

K, I already predicted one thread on these boards would turn into a 7 page debate-athon and I was right, so I'm going to make my wager now and say this will be a 7 page thread too. A LX on a diet with those mods & slicks/radials can break 13's. Without stick tires and a hard launch, you aren't going to see 13's. You simply will not pick up all the MPH you need to get into the 13's without great tires with those bolt-ons. /End of posting in this thread, observer mode now.

No, you might not get there with wal-mart special tires but a GOOD set of rubber can get you there or street slicks even. This thread will be long locked before it hits 7 pages.

thats what he was just sayin [8\|] [:D]

Welp, I can drive much better now than I was before. And since then I added a few things. But my LAST N/A run without Slicks(normal street tires, not drag radials) I ran a 13.9@101. I can now hit a 104 with STOCK as STOCK can be heads and that's enough for a nice 13 second run... And if you really want, I can find the slip of my last N/A non-slick run and post it if need be.

mdvaldosta -> RE: 13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah (11/28/2004 5:51:35 PM)
OB, you've got alot more than just the usual bolt-ons though [8\|]

i may not be as "experienced" as some of you, but i know what ive seen and ive seen stock 5.0s run 14.5, so running 13's are not at all hard to hit.., though, ive never seen a whole lot do it because, 5.0's are usually stock, or heavily modded. but i would imagine simple bolt ons would make u hit 13s if u can drive, remover silencer and put in k&n, 4:10 gears, headers h pipe mufflers, some good DRs and you should hit a high 13, just make sure ur not scared to powershift, i know i love it :)

Jugador -> RE: 13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah (11/28/2004 6:15:39 PM)
im not gonna say anything except ob's car is pushing the boundaries of a bolt on car. you were saying like tb mass air gears and not a whole lot else.

OB-1-kinobe... the question was... quote: ORIGINAL: import slayer break 13's with simple bolt ons so where do we draw the line at "simple"... to me, simple is ... well simple stuff folks do in their driveway like exhaust, CAI, pulleys... not CAMS, LONGTUBES... + blah blah blah [8D]
