Hey rob, I certainly appreciate your comment and your items are definitely a must do, but IMO starting with subframe connectors has always been and will continue to be area number 1 to address. I may do a continuation video and with Stages 4-6 and that's where your items would come in. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
@@PaulDaFox Agreed!!! we all build in our own way ..this budget build mindset thinking , you are precise on it....without a doubt...I like to build with a shelf full of parts ordered lol..esp these days "rollin my eyes" ..your tips are great for the people who want to build while enjoying the car!!! have a great day...Oh ...any thoughts on round tube or square tube frame connectors? Im looking hard into the Team Z round tube for my 85 coupe...dont want the hassle this time of cutting the floors lol
@@robturner7853 Thanks Rob, appreciate the reply back and I agree with different approaches to a build. I created the video in Stages for people to enjoy their car and also for budget purposes, so I hope it helps out some! As far as the subframe connectors, the through the floor are a pain in the butt and those are on my coupe in the background. I personally prefer the square full length subframe connector in particular the Steeda Full Lenght. I have those currently on my Terminator Cobra and have used them on several coupes so those are my go too. They fit great and I like that they come with a torque box reinforcement plate as well. Again thanks for the great chat🙌🏼🏁
Thanks for your informative video. I don’t have a Mustang, but I have a 1984 Porsche 944. I have been thinking about making it a drag car, but it is a non-turbo car so it is slow. I like the idea of staging things and some of the ideas that you mentioned could be applicable. Many people go all in and put in an LS and make it a traditional solid axle car, but spend years before they can take it down the strip. I will definitely look at ways to improve performance incrementally before I get to needing to go to the extreme to build a full on race car. Thanks for sharing your insight. PS. I am Canadian also and Luskville, QC is my closest track. I went there on Friday to watch some pro and semi-pro racers. It seems like deep pockets are needed to take it seriously. It would only be a hobby for me.
One of the best mods you can do is the "driver mod" learn your car, learn to drive and be consistant. Personally I've dropped over a full second learning to launch and shift better.
Thanks Mike, really appreciate your support and knowledge. And happy to hear your feeling good. Looking forward to seeing your future plans come together. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
That's exactly what occurred to me but I was much younger at the time and didn't plan ahead. I was running a slick with the stock rearend and boom; I snapped an axle. That was an expensive tow home from Cayuga which is an 1.5 hours away for me. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
Awesome video brotha!!! Takes me back to when I first got mine...You forgot about the budget GT40 HEADS AND INTAKE..Ford Explorer stuff super cheap upgrades...Ford ranger 5 lug axles..SN95 front 5 lug conversion and bigger brakes...Can you do a video on those items??
Hey BADAZZ93STANG, those would definitely be the next steps so maybe I can do a Part II continuation video and add Stages 4-6 or something like that. Thanks for the great idea, I will add to my notes of videos to create. Thanks for watching and have a great day! 🦾🏁
How fast to you expect this combo to go I have been 12.68 107 in a 93 coupe with no nitrous Valve covers never off stock throttle body and mass air meter
Hey Mike, this is a 11's setup which I've done on a 410 gear and slick. Nitrous is still one of the best bangs for the buck IMO. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
all good info Paul! Some track have a street car night which is a great place to start for first timers and don't run your a/c once your in the staging lanes, you don't want to be dropping water on the track!
Great tip on the A/C....I haven't seen a specific street car night in our area for awhile. Our TNT's are a mixed from mild to wild, but they do run a street class no prep! 🏁
I bought some chrome fender trim for your car the other day….guess I will return it. Lol Great list, I agree with all the things you mentioned. No offense to anyone. 👍🏻
Thanks nick, a drag pack alone makes a huge difference....there's always someone selling a nice used set, so no need to buy brand new. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
@@PaulDaFox got the fox storage got some dr on some ponies rolled into in 1st banged 2nd and hazed the tires . Thinking about some Hoosiers slicks . Got drag springs with a bag on the right side and uppers and lower control arms
@@catanza_ll Sorry brother I missed this comment as it got pushed into a comment review section and was automatically marked by RUclips as 'Likely Spam' for whatever reason 🤦♂ That said, the slicks will definitely help but just make sure rear end is ready for it as I dropped an axle myself with the stock 28 spline stuff. Again sorry about the non-reply as I do reply to every comment that comments in. Thanks brother 🦾🏁
Morning joey, a drag pack is term used referring to front skinny wheels and fat tires in the back. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and have a great day! 👊🏼🏁
Hope you guys enjoyed the video! Let me know what you guys think of the progressive stages! Have a great night and thanks for watching! 🏁
I certainly found the stages helpful. thank you

A Quality tubular K member / control arm set up is where it all starts , working from one end of the car or the other.

First thing I need ro start with is a trailer..I live almost 3 hours from Cayuga..its a long haul..wouldn't want to drive there and break down.
That's exactly what occurred to me but I was much younger at the time and didn't plan ahead. I was running a slick with the stock rearend and boom; I snapped an axle. That was an expensive tow home from Cayuga which is an 1.5 hours away for me. Thanks for watching, have a great day!! 🤙🏁
