Add on a methanol or nitrous spray system and you'll drop that even further. Plus front mount cores look pretty bad a$$.

true about the bad ass look... and i guess from reading this i would have to go with a regular charger and put a front mount on... and no i dont know all that much about cars....

some time they do. the first this you want to do is up-grade your throttle body to the biggest. it might require a re-flash pcm/ecm. If you are running a blower car. Port and polish heads will make huge difference. If you do port the heads. You should install manley stainless HD valve, with a three angle valve job. Aluminum are easy to port and polish. and also easy to damage. Most new car cylinder heads only require polishing since most are aluminum.

polished heads help the air flow in a little bit less restricted, though you really take advantage of polishing you should port them at the same time so you're opening them up as well.

so polishing them doesn't only make em pretty it makes for more efficient air flow.. whats the other thing besides the throttle body?

Adapting a cold air intake system in another BIGGIE.

Placing the cone air filter outside the engine compartment, in the fender well or inside the lower front spoiler are some good place for fresh cold air. Polyurethane motor and trans mount will help on launch and provide quicker response. Try and have the ECM/PCM re-flash with a lower 180 degree temp fan turn on. install a 180 T-stat when you swap the ecm/pcm. If the tuner knows what he is doing. By lowering the engine core temp will allow more spark timing and the fuel should be adjusted to meet maximum air fuel ratio. If you have a high compression engine or hi boost application. you will want to stay away from platinum spark plugs. During hard driving platinum are known to create hot spots in the cylinder causing detention/damage. Platinum plugs also feature a pointed/ needle center electrode. The center electrode will burn RED hot and sometime disappearing from the plug. I highly recommend AutoLITE 103 copper core spark plugs (hi-performance street only).Platinum plugs are self clean and are not likely to foul up. this is what make then last 100,000 mile. Copper core plug will not allow rich running condition, because the plug will foul-up and prevent spark/fire. A good tuning will keep any copper core plug running for 30,000 mile and no worries of hurting the engine from detention
A final gear sway will help on launch but will lose on top, you should find a set of gear like 3.42-3.93 which will give good launch and 170mph top end.

Mustang are animal/fast on cheap budget if you know what you are doing.

wow so the other plugs (the platinum) dont alow crap to build on them letting them give off better sparks and changeing the gear ratio to 3.42-3.93 will give me a higher top speed and nicer take off? thats nice... and then supercharge it and put a smaller pulley on the supercharger and ill be set right?
