Bone stock $4000?

Blue Thunder · 05-05-2005, 10:39 AM

If you were to have a 01 Bullitt GT bone stock and you had $4000 to spend on it what mods would you do to it?

Just get a blower and get it tuned. When I bought my 99 GT, I sold my 90 and had about 6000 cash. I almost bought the blower, but I ended up getting some bolt ons, wheels and a daily driver. Been kicking myself ever since. $3300 will get you a complete Vortech kit. If you can, install it yourself. Spend the rest on some exhaust, a shifter or some sticky tires, you'll need those for sure!!

USMCstang · 05-05-2005, 12:57 PM

A big Spolier, body kit, quad fart cans, neon green racing seats, altezza lights, and some NAWZ.

J/K, I agree with Adam, build the top of the engine, exhaust, and gears...get some wheels/ tires with the rest.

Joe Friday · 05-05-2005, 01:05 PM

Long tube exhaust, Cams, wheels & Tires

*madmatt* · 05-05-2005, 01:16 PM

Dont forget the Chin spoiler.

Blue Thunder · 05-05-2005, 01:55 PM

I like the mongoose kit but then i have no gears, exhaust or anything! Plus the price of installing the kit which i can't do myself. I was thinking all basic bolt ons, exhaust, 3.90 gears, cams,tune, sticky tires to run mid-low 12's.
P.S. I will be gettign either an 01 Bullitt or an 02 gT withing the next couple of months. If i do the mongoose kit then i won't have exhaust gears or anythaing and I cannot install it myself I'm pretty sure of that.

highperf15 · 05-05-2005, 02:00 PM

I'd spend it on beefing the engine and drivetrain in order for it to handle the blower myself.........If you do the work yourself, forged pistons, rods, a nice valvetrain/cam, headers/exhaust and rear-end upgrades. Of course $4,000 won't go very far, but if you budget right and do your research on engine parts, you can do it...........

Blue Thunder · 05-05-2005, 02:03 PM

I'm not an awesome mechanic sso i will have to have to have most of these things installed which will cost $$$ so i think i will have the $$$ for cams etc. but not heads, i've pretty much decided to stay N/A for now.

Blue02GT · 05-05-2005, 02:03 PM

That's a loaded question. $4,000.00 to spend, but what are your goals? Are you wanting to race at the track? Do you want to run 13's, 12's 11's.

If you want more power on the street do the cams, gears and long tubes. Then get it tuned and you will run high 12's easy with that intake. But...... you are going to need to beef up the rear end or BOOM!
You could do a Mongoose kit for around 4000 and put down 375 rwhp or just spray it for 750 - 1000 and make even more power. You really need to decide what your goals are. $4,000 goes real fast on these modular cars. Just ask me I bet I have at least 6-8 grand in extras on mine and it's not anywhere near as fast as I want to be.

You make a good point........how fast do you want to go......and how long do you want it to last..........

That's why I say beef up the motor first........then when you done your ready for either heavy doses of spray or a blower........

*madmatt* · 05-05-2005, 02:12 PM

Im tellin ya, you can do it with you and a couple friends. Tim has had more of those kits sold to people just like you and they are always talkin about how he always answers any questions they have. Plus, if you have trouble, there are MILLIONS of people out here that have done it before. Get it before you get the gears. Trust me, if I could do it ALL over again, I would spend a penny until I had a blower. If you start with small stuff, you keep wanting more and more little things to get more power, and eventually you never get to the blower. If you do it first, yeah, you dont have gears or exhaust, but a blower will give you MORE power than ANY bolt on there is. Take it from a poor hs kid like yourself. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I have spend almost 2500 bucks on my car and still have prolly only 250 rwhp. If I had saved it longer, id have a blower now, and would have 100 more hp. Do what you want, but with the bullitt intake, you will have a PRIME candidate for an awesome blower car. Gears are great, but its a SUPERCHARGER!

LMAO.......I knew a guy who did just that.......bought the blower before beefing up his motor.......3 weeks after the install, I got a call to bring my car trailer and pick-up his ride.......threw a rod right out of the block........so he was out of ride for awhile.....

Stock bottom-ends should be beefed-up prior to adding those power adders.......

Blue02GT · 05-05-2005, 02:24 PM

Personally I would beef up the rear end and axels, weld in full length sub frame connectors before I added any horse power. Then I'd get upper and lower control arms, springs, drag struts and shocks. None of these are very sexy mod's but if you plan on adding 100 -200 rwhp later you will be pissed when Adam, Madi and I whip you at the track with 250 rwhp cars. Look around on all the Mustang boards and you will see lot's of blown cars running high 12's to mid 13's. That's because they didn't want to do the dirty work first. I plan on adding a Mongoose kit down the road but I plan on over 500 rwhp so I will build a forged short block before I bother with the blower.

That's what I'm talkin about.......heh

Blue Thunder · 05-05-2005, 03:05 PM

I want to run mid to low 12's with a daily driver; later in life i will do more to it to make it run in the 11's but in Hschool i just want low 12's or mid 12's. It will be a daily driver and i don't want a trailer queen or anything that's going to be just for drag racing i will also be going to a road coarse sometimes so i don't want to do any sort of drag struts or drag springs. I;m thinkin all bolt-ons and cams than if enough $$$ i will do heads. P.S. I'm adding 31 spline axles and possibly a new differential so my rear end shouldn't give out.

You make a great point, and this is somewhat how Ive built my car, but oh man 4 grand is so tempting to spend on a blower...

dom · 05-06-2005, 10:12 AM

6000, hmmm. buy a gun, or two, and as much heroine as you can and start a crime mob. then youll have enough to buy any car parts you want

or aybe enough to bail you out and get a lawyer

seriously, get a blower, and a set of drag radials

ModMotorRacer · 05-06-2005, 11:04 AM

You can't run a blower for $4000. $4000 will get your foot in the door thats about it. To properly run a blower you need an upgraded fuel system which can be anywhere from $250-1500. You can run boost on a stock motor, but your tune has to be dead on and you would want it intercooled if your going to see over 6-7psi. 9psi is it on a stock motor with an intercooler, with a perfect "safe" tune on pump gas.

dom · 05-06-2005, 11:28 AM

your right, there is no way to run blown safely for 4k. all the **** adds up.

mgar22 · 05-06-2005, 11:56 AM

I would get with 2 chics at one time!!! But that's me. :3some:

bluemang417 · 05-08-2005, 07:02 PM

before u buy the mongoose kit check out johnson motorsports s-trim kit all the same stuff with 42lb injectors and custom tune and pumps etc, for around 3500 its at www.jmschip.com
