If he has heads, then I don't see why he's not faster.

 

[notchback]

sure he should be running 12.80's
probably making 275 hp or so to the rear.

He might be running 12.80s, but at like 98mph. it seems that he has a lot of traction work done. Im using that 98mph as an example of course. He doesnt have to heads to hit 12.8s, plenty of guys have gone faster. ET is all about 60'.... MPH on the other hand..is about HP.

Its possible, But his combo would get owned by another mustang with any engine work from a roll.

I don't understand why you say he doesn't have the heads to go 12.80's...

my 84 coupe went [email protected] with a 1.72 60' with a 93 motor, B303, FMS shorties, stealth intake and 650 DP, with 3.73's at full weight and stock suspension with an air bag in the right rear.

granted he is heavier, but still has twice the parts. If the tune is good, it should go mid 12's.

its very possible with his mods.

 

[axeman]

if he's a good driver, i could see him running 12.8's with the stock heads. he's got a few more goodies than i do.

16 autometer gauges...LOL...

nah, you misunderstood...i said that he doesnt have to HAVE heads to run 12.80s... there are lots of guys out there running faster on stock heads.

 

[DirtyD916]

geez man what kind of autometer gauges do you have.
