Aside from the rear end, I wouldn't be concerned to attempt any of that. The headers would be the worst. Suspension work on these cars is actually not too bad.Don't forget labor cost...

Same here, but most people would have a shop do it. If that's the case, just skipping all this & going FI is the way to go.Aside from the rear end, I wouldn't be concerned to attempt any of that. The headers would be the worst. Suspension work on these cars is actually not too bad.

It's Steeda's shop car. And that car doesn't have $7K in Mods.Don't forget labor cost...
I'm talking about the consumer. Not everyone owns a shop.It's Steeda's shop car. And that car doesn't have $7K in Mods.
Beefing up the IRS bracing is a No Brainer running these times, not a performance gain. Rims are for running a specific tire. The Longblock is stock and the car has a 10 second slip. It needs a converter to shave .2+ off the 60.
If you selective shop $900 for tires, $395 for CAI, suspension $1100 (this is to strengthen an IRS and save axles if you still wanna call it Mod) $1450 exhaust, 4.10's $150, rims $1100,I decided to check.
Paying full retail without discounts which you would likely get as a package
Suspension $1343
Exhaust $1550-$1750 depending on what they ran, cheaper for catless
Race Stars $1000-$1500
E85 tune $780
4.10s $180
Intake $440
Tires $1200?
$6500 on the low end of those parts and less than $7300 on the high end.
I think you could certainly do it much cheaper too. You could save $1000 on the headers alone and I don't think the 4.10s are really worth it. Lund put his E85 tune and tire only car at an 11.3 with stock rear gears.
I'd be interested in what a long tube and e85 car would do.
E85 is stupid easy cheap power so yes. I could run an E85 mix in my MS6 & just do a $250 re-tune & easily add 30-40 WHP. A lot more going full E85.That trap speed is impressive (so is the ET)! Even more impressive if that is done on the stock longblock.
Does e85 make that much of a difference on a direct injection car?
That's just what I had pulled from some of their links.If you selective shop $900 for tires, $395 for CAI, suspension $1100 (this is to strengthen an IRS and save axles if you still wanna call it Mod) $1450 exhaust, 4.10's $150, rims $1100,
E-85 tune at your $780 is steep. So about $5500. And I agree the CAI, gears and headers netted it what .2-.3?
Awesome that the 18 cars only require a tune for e85.
2018 Mustang GT appears to be a tuners dream so far.

For sure. The 15-17 can run e85 on stock injectors if you keep the stock manifold due to them having a higher pulse rate even though they are the same size as the 11-14.
I drove an 18 auto yesterday and although I like the car I would still prefer the 15-17 for the price.
