As of now she has an k/n<br />drop in filter/2 chamber delta flows/cut outs(for<br />track)/1.5 bbk drop kit. The cars best time to date is 14.34 at 97.9. The 60' was 2.18 on the<br />stock goodyears. I was thinking about a chip and<br />some pulleys next. What do you guys think?

Not a big fan of "chips" unless the car has some pretty significant modifications, but to each thier own. The gears will be by far the best bang for the buck. With an auto, the gears will be a great addition to the car the should make it easily 13.99's. I could be wrong, but I think the car may have just a bit more in in than a 14.3, but still very respectable. Pullies are always a nice addition and give the car a bit more kick as well. Consider going with some 3.55s or even better 3.73's and you will not regret it. The gas mileage will not be affected all that much either, some yes.....but not that much. Pullies and gears, I can honestly say it will be 13.99's or lower.<br /><br />Jack <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>z ya</b> <br /><small>Member # 1327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,24,0,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Will I need a custom chip with the 3.73's? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>99gt-UJSTLST</b> <br /><small>Member # 584</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,24,5,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i say gears, pullies, and some drag radials<br />and if you want abetter sixty feet a stall converter that should get you well in the 13's<br /><br />as far a chip I say no way not worth the cash<br /><br />you can buy a speed adjuster from huston performance i think they are like 100-200 bucks <br /><br />or you could just add a 100 shot of NOS that will get you where you want to go and not be to much for your engine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>z ya</b> <br /><small>Member # 1327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,24,5,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Well it sounds like pullies and gears are the way<br />to go for what I want.

I am a mechanic for a huge dealership. I work on 4.6 mod cars alot, and more than just one. So again, let me ask you.....what the hell are you talking about timing adjuster. You are probably correct about the 5-speed, and auto trannies....that I do not quesion.....but do you have any idea about timing? At all? Timing has absolutely nothing to do with a speedometer. Do you not understand that? Ok, maybe we are simply miscommunicating, but think about what you are saying. Maybe the guy needs a chip to re-adjust his speedo.....but in no way shape or form does he have any need for a timing adjuster. Maybe YOU should "have some knowledge before you speak".....or take some professional mech. training like I did...it might help a bit.<br /><br />Jack <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>e-dogg</b> <br /><small>Member # 678</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,5,25,1,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0));
