Well at 5600 up at PMI speedway in Pueblo, Colorado Mustangs are running mid to low 15's. . . but they its about a second slower than at sea level. . . My best time (with just full exhaust, bolt ons, no gears, no engine work, on BALD 245 Kuhmo ASX's) was 14.4. . . . So thats pretty slow . . .becuase i had a buddy clock a 14.9 in an 04 GT with just intake and exhaust. . . But he's been racing his whole life. . .So just work on your technique and get those down to 15 flats and then you'll be doing good. . .

cool i just had my clutch replaced cuz the stock one was all jacked up, so i'm hoping that was part of the reason i couldn't come in lower than 15.4. the throw out bearing was SOOOO F#$%ed up. we'll see thanks guys.
