WTF? 'dick broom' ?
Do I even want to know?
My stock 85 went 14.5 off the showroom floor. Threw some donut spares on the front, ran a short belt. iced the intake, bumped the timing, removed everything from the back- tire. jack. etc., played with launch rpm and got it down to 13.82 within a month. In 87, my 87 vert went 15.2 with 150 miles on it. Removed the air silencer and did most of the things that later made it to Bob Cosby's list and got it down to mid 14's before I started with bolt on's. Back then there was no aftermarket for these cars and Ford was the only place to get very limited speed parts. There wasn't even an aftermarket cam, intake, or headers developed yet. We opened up the stock TB and intake. Guys were ripping off their EFI because running carbs were faster and no one knew how to tune them yet. About the only thing you could do was gears, cat back exhaust, a "ram air" from March, and a set of slicks for a year or two. Getting one of these cars into the 12's made you the fastest guy on the block.
