can help me in my dilema :-)

90's Crustang 5.0 LX at a light.. 55mph speed limit on this road, so you
know we're going at it :-)

> Anyway... Off the line, we went.. he spun his tires a little bit and I
got a small jump on him (didn't power brake either for good launch, so it
about evened itself out).. Anyway, nose-to-nose up to 45, and then he
started pulling away.. 55 he has a 1/2 carlength on me, 65 he has about 1.5
carlengths on me when I pull up... Was hoping I would do better on the top
end with the recently added F&B 50mm TB, but, I guess not too bad seeing it
was a 5.0 which they run about 14.00... my best guesstimate on my 1/4 time
is 15.00.. but anywhere, here's my list of mods:
>
> Last time at track: 15.8 (with strong headwind at VMP, only time i've been
to track) - Mods at time: Quick-D Intake, Hypertech PCM, Gibson Catback.
>
> Now, in addition to the above - F&B 50mm TB, Accel Ignition system, IAS
adjuster (was not in use at time, around 35-40deg outside), Mopar PCM
(CA-emmissions model - used in conjunction with the hypertech PCM)...
>
> First thing I need to do I think, is go on a dyno with the stock PCM,
check my numbers.. then the Hypertech and check numbers, then the Mopar PCM,
then both.... see where I get my best numbers at... Maybe I can pick up
10-15hp in the right setup there...
>
> After that, my thoughts are Trans-go shift kit, Headers...ummmm not
really sure after that... I'm not really in the market for a
Supercharger, nor do I want to go with nitrous.. want it to be NA all the
way, and would possibly like to get around 14.0 or even high 13's, though I
don't think that's very likely?? Not without spending lotta $$$$... oh
SRT-8, I cannot wait!
>
> 1 more thing - with my 15.8 time and when racing the crustang, that was
with a weight of around 4400lbs (120 lb speakers/zmp/box, hitch, spare all
on)... So I can get maybe .2 there at the track
