4.0 1/4 mile
I have a 2004 Edge (mods listed) with 172,xxx miles and I took it down to the track tonight. Ran 2 consecutive 15.8s 1/4 miles. And that was with all terain tires:D Any opinions or mod suggestions so I can get into the low 14s? I also want to replace factory parts that should not be taking the stress of racing with all the miles I have.

You want to shave a second and a half? Good luck. How much are you willing to spend on this? I mean before something breaks...

You didn't answer the question, we like need a budget

Re: 4.0 1/4 mile
I'll assume then that the budget is unlimited. So go buy the modbox supercharger install kit. I think you could do that for 3-4k. Then the related upgrades, might run, I don't know, another 2k? Might get you your second and a half.
Or you could just go buy an old fox bodied v8 mustang and go faster for cheaper. In the end it is just a truck. I don't try to go fast in mine. In fact it's probably been 2 weeks since I even started it. |

Why not go for the 13s and buy a new 2016 3.7L Mustang? Keep the Truck though.

Re: 4.0 1/4 mile
From the OP and responses (slapping zip ties on the throttle cable to raise the gas pedal to higher and putting the gas pedal an an uncomfortable position), I sense the budget is pretty lean. So here are a few things to try to improve things, although you surely won't see 13's.
* Shed weight. Bye bye spare tire, jack, passengers, stray cargo and full tank of gas. This because, *general* rule of thumb is 100# = about .1 sec in a 1/4 * Try lighter wheels and tires. * Get a tuner and use it. There's a start for a lean budget. Oh, I run Wix air and fuel filters, I had not a clue in the least that a Wix fuel filter was a "mod". :D |

Re: 4.0 1/4 mile
I plan on getting new spark plugs, a throttle body spacer, and long tube headers. Any suggestions? Also, I removed the fuel filter from my mods list, maybe this will erase distraction.
---------- I don't really have a budget but I'm trying to find small parts to replace things one by one for more performance. Then I may get a supercharger. |
