Default 5.0's response to mods?????

my buddy with a stock auto 95' GT ran a best of 10.3 and cosistantly between 10.3-10.6 in the 1/8th. Yesterday we installed a fenderwall CAI and he managed a 9.8 and running consistantly between a 9.8 -10.0 is this unusual for these cars?

They respond to bolt-ons very well, next time have him ebay a 70mm TB and EGR and a larger MAF and then give the 1/8th a run.

do 4.10's. 95 gt are heavy and he has an auto. he benefit greatly from a converter, shift kit, gears, and sticky tires.

might even see 13's.
