Ask Blaine at ProDrag in the market forum's
He seems very knowledgable, and owns one himself. |

T28 (for easy bolt up)
That stock T25 hairdryer is just brutal. Plus you'll have to do all the pre-mods (1G BOV, upper ic pipe, free mods etc)
Check DSMtuners forums they have tons of good tips/ideas/mods for your 2G.
(But seriously that T25 sucks) |

Smoke them on the track, not on the street.

Good luck with your upgrades! |

Also, realize, you might get a few Mustang GT's after you spend a bunch of money (MIGHT).
But if they want to race you and they spend as much money as you (or even less) they will totally destroy you.
I spent big $$$ on my 2G Turbo Eclipse and it was still very very slow compared to a Mustang GT (with less money in mods). |

Well then you must have spent money in all the wrong areas, the 4G63 responds very well to little mods. |

^^ Agreed. With basic mods for a few grand you can hit Stage 1(275-300hp) and for anywhere between $5000-8000 you can hit Stage 2(350-400hp) and beyond. |

You honestly think, dollar for dollar, that you can beat a LT1 Camaro (Let alone a LS1)???? Haha, that's priceless.
An LS1 DYNO's at 300+HP typically. Imagine what just $2000-$3000 in mods does to it? |

Let's keep this from becoming a 4G63 vs LT/LS1 thread.
Stay on topic please. |

As I mentioned in my PM to the thread starter. I have a little experiment I am going to try.
Bone stock 1G DSM.
$1500 retail in performance parts.
110 MPH or more in the 1/4 mile.
You do the math.
A stock AWD DSM with a DRIVER behind the wheel should not have any trouble punishing a Mustang GT.
BTW, in a $$$ for $$$ battle horsepower, Cubic Inches generally dominates. |
