120+mph trap speed on 93 octane?

What are the safest, cost-efficient mods to get the m340 trapping at 120mph+ in the 1/4 mile while still using 93 octane gas?

Is this possible on stock turbo?

For example: upgraded intake manifold/intercooler, catted downpipe, custom tune?

Or would I need to upgrade turbo in addition?

Reason for the goal: that’s the trap speed of a stock ‘23 Mustang 5.0 and the m550ix

Its certainly possible with a catless DP and a custom 93 tune

Real world a 340x will smoke a 5.0 for vast majority of drivers as they spin away. At best it’ll be neck and neck

Def doable with tune and dp

Completely agree. It will completely feel like a whole different car. Trust me, I came from an F90 M5 to my M340X and it gets closer to that with additional mods I am making.
