I have a 5speed 87 mustang GT With 125,000 Miles on it. I am curious if anyone can give me a idea of about what my 1/4 mile time will be.. I'm only 16 and not able to get to the Dragstrip. Painless - Complete EFI wiring harness for mass air conversion BBK - shorty headers, off road h-pipe Flowmaster - 40series mufflers BBK - Cold air induction (fenderwell) with K&N A.C. elimator pulley (with shorter belt) Ford Racing - 2row racing radiator Pro-flow - 15" Electric fan MSD - 6A Ignition with Blaster 2 coil Came with rare stock 3.08 posi Anyone know about the new BBK manifold for the 5.0??
I'm guessing this is on stock suspension with no chassis bracing and street tires. You'd probably run a 14.5-14.9 if you can drive the car well.. With some drag radials, you could get low 14's. I wouldn't expect anything better than that though. Especially with stock gears. BTW, 3.08's aren't really rare. They were just an option over the 2.73's on the GT model.
I disagree, I have an 89 with at the time I had about 195000 miles on her. All she has is Off Road X-pipe, and MAC Cat back. stock suspension, and regular street tires. I get her to run a best of 14.484. I couldn't hook her up to well and I cant shift fast (tranny matches the miles) If you can hook her up and do some nice solid quick shifts at around 5500-5700 you should be able to run low 14's no doubt about it.
