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 be able to beat most of the SRT-4's I would ever likely run into on the street. 8)

Also to be able to beat some V8's. Or at least have everyone ask me, "you got a turbo on that or something?" :biggrin:

 

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.

 

I am shooting for 210 WHP, and 1/4 mile timeslips of 14 flat or, better yet, high 13s. Almost there...

 

short term: 14s with my auto

 

Hey Ding what does your beast do?

 

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

 

13 seconds naturally aspirated.

 

my goal is 280-300 whp with turbo

 

my goal is 200whp n/a

 

well i would really like 350whp, but thats a ways away, s/c, cams, stage 3 intake manifolds, pistons, rods, serious tunning.

 

I achived several of my goals so far. I am now in the mid 14 sec. 1/4 times. I purchaced the Veilside Kit. I would like to get to 200 WHP n/a. I am currently 180whp.

 

currently: 160 whp N/A - 15.324 @ 91.13 mph
future goal: 200 whp N/A - 13.901 @ 98 mph :biggrin:

same here .

 

220 whps N/A

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?

 

My goal is to get to 200whp or better for as little investment as possible. If I were to have to spend too much I would choose another platform.

BTW, what the hell is a Mustang GT40? Do you mean the new Ford GT?

No the new limited Edition Ford Mustang GT 40 ($150,000 MSRP). 500 ponies, supercharged rear positioned engine, 3.4 sec 0-60, and basically blows away any other stock vehicle on the road.

You miss typed twice in seperate posts? LOL
No big deal. I was just wondering if there was a top secret car I hadn't heard about.
That's the Ford GT based off of the mid 60's GT40. (Ford lost the rights to the name)
