Ok so i have my basics covered. Now my question is what are the next couple of mods for my evil plan? My bullitt has some good mods now, but not nearly enough to reach my goal. My final goal is to have my bullitt as a mid-high 12 second car with the 281 engine N/A. No stroker no s/c or nitrous. Also i want to keep decent streetability. My next couple of mods will be:
MGW shifter
Steeda UDP's
Mid-length or shorty headers (which brand and which length?) (no longtubes(mid pipe can't handle it)
My question is what in next after that? I was thinking cams, but if so which cams exactly and they can't be insanely radical (don't forget it's a daily driver). Basically i know it can be done, but which mods will get me there? Don't try to convince me to supercharge or anythang either becaus ei'm determined to have a mid-high 12 sec bullit on straight 281 power. What's next after the shifter and udp's and headers?

 

vt stage 1 cams and alot of suspension i have seen people run high 12's on stock motor with all suspension work/ weight reduction.

 

Well you should really consider LT's,the shorties just wont add that much HP as the LT's will.Cam's for sure and a good tune.Then work on the suspension and wieght like Thundergod said.

 

I'd go ahead and add a CAI like the JLT or the K&N FIPK too.

 

YOu can go 12's on full bolt ons and dr's. Seen it done here in the summer. But you should get long tubes. With your mods and long tubes,UDP, and sticky tires you can go 12's. Trust me you dont need cams to go 12's.

 

Id go with the long tubes also. You going to install the headers yourself ro have somebody do it? If your taking to a shop just have them cut your mid-pipe and either weld the flanges back so you can bolt up the headers or weld stright to the headers. Other then that a CAI, TB(maybe), suspention and tires should get ya there. GL

 

JLT or K&N CAI/RAI, Throttle Body, FRPP or BBK Shorty/Equal length headers, Maximum Motorsports lower control arms and FRPP uppers. For cams go with VT Stage 2. I'd save up some more and do heads together with the cams. Either go with VT or Modular Powerhouse Stage 2.5 heads. You could install the heads/cams/headers together and then get a tune. This should put you at mid 12's on d/r's.

 

no plenum??

 

Bullits already come with a very good intake. It's not the same as the GT's. The GT's have a metal upper plenum, and plastic lower. The Bullit's is all metal. Hence, there is no need for a plenum.

 

I went 12.7's with stock suspension. Actually the Eibach pro kit which actually hurts 60 ft. times.

 

Ok so basically my N/A setup needs suspension work for sure? I thought that maybe the tockicko stuff on the bullitt would help then again i know nothing about suspension components. If i am gonna do suspension work what parts are really beneficial? Take into account that my bullitt is a daily driver and that ilive in the hill country with a lot of sharp turns and windy roads (no drag suspensions) basically i'll do suspension work as long as it doesn't noticeably affect my normal driving. I enjoy taking turns fast and will not convert to a car that can only go straight. I bough a mustang over the camaro for the looks and the ability to actually take turns, i wish to keep my handling and streetability. I've heard people say control arms help? First off i know nothing about suspension stuff. What components will really help me out. What are they and what exactly do they do? teach me!

 

hmmm not a good thing to tell someone who is buying that in a week!!! :wallbash: :censored:

 

Bah! Give her some juice! Stock streetabilty, cobra killing power when you want it. 100 shot will not even phase the motor.....
