Default RE: 2.3L Turbo swap into 1967 Mustang

A 2.3 turbo car dominates true street in drag racing. I've seen him as far as .40 seconds ahead of the closest competitor. It's lighter and a more nimble car with it in there. If everything is the same, weight, power, body shape, a small motor will always pull away. It more difiuclut to make power in a smaller motor, but he never said anything about wanting to go fast in it. I would personally put a 2.3 against a stock 289 any day. A stock 289 can't get out of it's own way.[sm=gears.gif]
