Just figured I'd start a new topic out of curiosity, but what is everyone's goal for performance on their Tib?

Personally mine is to get the Weight::HP ratio on mine down from 17.2 to around 8.5 lbs/HP which is around 340 HP prior to lightening the car from stock setup (though that in itself might not be possible). What I would really like is to get the Weight::HP ratio down to the same thing as the new Mustang GT 40, but given it has 500 HP that isn't exactly feasible without replacing the whole engine. So what is everyone elses?

I wold like to have at least 200whp and run into the 14's (high, low, doesn't matter).
 
To have a car that performs and looks better than it did when I bought it. As long as it keeps improving I am happy. I am not a serious tuner or anything, so I dont have a specific goal, just as long as perfomance/appearance is constantly progressing.

With the mod you listed there and some weight reduction when you go at the track......You could probably do like 15 flat on the 1/4. just add a powerchip, (ecu -upg) and BANG you hit then high 14s.

My weight reduction suggestion:
let say you lose 15 pound, then take off hood , passenger seat, spare tire, jack , sub and you run with less then 1/8 gaz. that about 175 pound reduction EZ to do!!

hmm your goal is near !!:biggrin:

My goal is just to beat my friend RSX-S. With my Aos intake and my OBX catback I can't wait to see the result this summer. Maybe I will throw in UD pulley before spring to help a little.
 
my goal 300whp with ripps s/c this summer
 
well i would like to get in the 200 - 220 whp range strictly N/A tuning......still lots to go : BBTB, PP intake manifold, headers....etc...let me know any other parts i would need
 
well i would really like 350whp, but thats a ways away, s/c, cams, stage 3 intake manifolds, pistons, rods, serious tunning.

Well, I have an auto. I think it might be a little harder for me, but thats ok, I like challenges... ;)
 
My goal will be around 200WHP staying n/a. I'd like to do it with mods I can install myself, which would probably mean no cams... I don't know if I want to attempt installing cams on my own. What with some performance ECU/piggybacks coming along, with lots of the other mods such as headers, exhaust, intake manifolds, BBTB, wires, plugs, pulleys... it may be possible without cams... Who knows?
