my GT upgrades

I just ordered a K&N Procharger cold air intake & Roush Extreme Exhaust. The exhaust
does not have mufflers. It has resinators insted. Should be pretty loud. I'm pretty excited!
I will keep you guys updated on any other mods I get in the future.

Sounds like a good start to a fast car Justin. Have you spanked Patrick's SS yet?

He'll have to do more then a intake and exhaust to touch an LT1.

Like I said before, I'm going to have my Stang tuned by the Modular Depot (Ford Racing), to around 400 hp.
Then we will see how bad that LT1 really is.

I'll play with ya when I get my LT1 out.
You'll need more then that for 400 HP out of your 4.6L. I know Rustang guys. And seen then at the track. My old stock 95 TA was quicker then a New body style stang like yours and it was auto also with 3.73's, headers, yada yada. But what am I saying, I don't have anything right now that'd run 15's. I like your car. I know tuning can unleash some ponys but be realistic.

Anyway, back on topic. Congrats on the upgrades. With all that and a tune you should get down in the 13's.

I had a pretty quick LT1 and I also rode in a stock late model Mustang just recently, Yeah the LT1 with a gear package would turn the tires but not like I was in Sunday. And that wasn't a high horse job. Be careful.

The caprices, impalas, roadmaster, and Caddy's with the LT1's are pretty hefty in the weight department. I'm Talking F-bodies and Vettes.

Men with horses ain't scared boys with bow ties are though.

that car has a nice tone stock i cant Wait to hear it

Sounds like a steak dinner bet for the winner of the race.

he shoulda raced me in the other one id be eating good right now :star: lol

Did I forget to mention that I have a performance chip that I could add? It with the tune would put me around 450hp.

Your way off on those comments. No way just intake/exhaust/tune/chip get you to 450HP. You might get a 350-375 Crank Hp rating. I don't get why your talking about a chip because your getting it tuned supposedly and that is one in itself. Stock 2006 GT ratings -> 300HP @ 5,750 rpm and 320 lb-ft @ 4,500 rpm. Your going to get an increase but not that much with such small mods. Not knocking your car, I'm just sayin that your overshooting your estimate.

I hear a dyno challenge... with Honest reciepts to show the upgrades...Although Hp is like fishing.. I swear with a good tail wind and the right amount of cloud cover and just the right amount of granuals in the airs, and oh wait let me pull out my hydrometer and my barometric pressure gauge, nope not at top HP oh well just add more NITRO....
Despite nitromethane having a much lower energy density (11.2 MJ/kg) than either gasoline (44 MJ/kg) or methanol (22.7 MJ/kg), its addition to the fuel mixture has the net effect of increasing engine output by around 2.3 times compared to gasoline for the same mass of air -- 14.6 kg of air is required to burn one kilogram of gasoline, but only 1.7 kg of air for one kilogram of nitromethane. Since an engine’s cylinder can only contain a limited amount of air on each stroke, 8.7 times more nitromethane than gasoline can be burned in one stroke.

The high temperature of vaporization of nitromethane also means that it will absorb substantial engine heat as it vaporizes, providing an invaluable cooling mechanism. The laminar flame speed and combustion temperature are higher than gasoline at 0.5 m/s and 2400 °C respectively. Power output can be increased by using very rich air fuel mixtures. This is also something that helps prevent pre-ignition, something that is usually a problem when using nitromethane.

Due to the relatively slow burn rate of nitromethane, very rich fuel mixtures are often not fully ignited and some remaining nitromethane can escape from the exhaust pipe and ignite on contact with atmospheric oxygen, burning with a characteristic yellow flame. Additionally, after sufficient fuel has been combusted to consume all available oxygen, nitromethane can combust in the absence of atmospheric oxygen, producing hydrogen, which can often be seen burning from the exhaust pipes at night as a bright white flame. In a typical run the engine can consume as much as 103 litres (22.75 gallons) of fuel during warmup, burnout, staging, and the quarter-mile run. Oh wait your talking about engines that ONLY produce 300 to 400 h.p. I'll shut up my car has about 75 at the crank....
