2008 Mustang stocker

Yeah, the '06-'08 GTs are in the guide @ 300hp.

I believe it would be tough to get in under the index.
Possible maybe, but I don't recall reading where anyone has tried that combo yet.
Seems to be factored pretty high, especially when compared to the 2010 4.6 3V CJ.

I also thought they were factored kinda high in the HP.
I have seen natural aspirated cars with stock long block run in the 11.80s but I don't know if there intakes manifolds were stock, which I have heard do not make a big difference in N/A 3v mustang. There is a lot of rotating weight on these cars with the big brakes, wheels and tires, and the heavy drive shaft with cv joints( would it be legal to change ?).

I just don't want to spend all the money then fall short to the index. Thanks for the help

I would think the aftermarket 1 piece d.s. would be legal, seeing as how it is much cafer than the factory 2 pc setup. Of course you would have to ask a tech guy.

If those cars were factored around 265 -275 h.p. , then you might have a chance.
