91_5.0LX

Hi everyone, I have a 1991 5.0 LX hatch with a 5 speed, cold air intake, magnaflow cat back, subframe conectors, UPR upper and lower control arms,
dont have time to bring it to the track untill Sep, want to run mid to low 13's and what do you think it will take to get there? what do you think I'll run now? thanks

low 15's.

get some 4.10 gears, and sticky tires and you MIGHT break a low 14

wow, 15's that not good, I have some work to do, what about BBK longtubes 5/8 and H-pipe with cats that will help no?

AdderMk2

nope, you need new heads if you ever plan on making more power

+1^ adder is right u need to let that engine breath to produce power

Soldier GT

gotta agree. the only way you'll get there in a hurry would be a shot nitrous and then you would still need to have the suspension mods to put the power to the ground.

with some sticky tires = gears and good driving you can hit a high 13 = done it plenty in my stock long block 92, runs 13.70's- 13.80's

I'm going to go with h/c/i I'm thinking AFR 165cc with a trickflow intake and ford racing E303 cam, thinking that should be good for low 13's to high 12's and around 300-320 rwhp
what do you guys think about that combo? Hp? 1/4 times?

1987notchback nice car, what do you run in the 1/4 mile? with the stuff you have done it sounds like a 12 sec car, nice
