cams=little or no lope

I have my idle set at 750 and have stock manifolds, stock H with cats, M80's and then cat back Macs and I love the sound. The lope is definitely there and I can watch my shaker jump all over at idle. I tried the offroad H and it was way too loud and trumpeted bad, that is when I added the M-80's but it was stil too trumpety for me, so I put the stock catted H back in. I want headers bad but am afraid it will be too loud if I put them on. Chambered mufflers definitely sound the best with cams.

might add that if your looking for that old school lope i think its hard to achieve that without making the car a pain in the *** to drive daily
I want the lope so strong, it loosens my bowels
The lope on my mustang will satisfy you, but alas the vehicle is no longer streetable. The decibel level alone would get you towed.

sounds exactly like the 8 second cars in the staging lanes headed for the burnout box!!!
Car was running consistent 10.0s before motor went supernova. Most unlikely to see 8s. Expect mid to lowish 9s. You just never know..... If the thing runs a 9.3 or something, we might push it further. Might be worth exploding another motor to hit 8.999....lol

Different set of wheels tires (for the track)
Atleast 5 point roll bar, seat belts and driver seat.
And at some point, a new trannsmision. Still haven't decided what I will do. I know a built auto will be the fastest. So . . . .I don't know what I will do.
I'm trapping 127-129 and the boost is only at 15 psi.

You could be mid 10s with that trap with the right setup. My car was trapping around 128, going mid 10s and around 135 for consistent 10.0s. Vid is a little old and before present rebuild. Transmission was a 4r70w with transbrake. Sold it to a mate. The first night he went to the track with his 4r (and some other changes), he dropped from mid 11s to 10.3 ET. The new build includes a 2 speed powerglide.
I feel you have a low 10 second car, if you are willing to trade speed for loss of comfort and utility.
