Ya i'm hoping it runs pretty well. I'm guessing it will be slower than my current car but that wont last too long. I have an srt4 now that should run high 12s on drag radials, as long as the mustang pulls pretty hard it should keep me happy for awhile. I'm just excited to finally get a V8 with rwd, i've wanted a camaro since i was really young but decided recently go go with a foxbody.

Yeah it's going to be a lil slower but I almost garuntee that it'll be way more fun. I drive my buddies FWD cars and they just aren't that exciting.

spray it and you'll see low 12's

should be good for 13.10's-13.50's as it sits.

hard to say w/out knowing for sure how the port work is.

good luck w/ it.....i'm on my 3rd notch and won't go w/ any other

Thanks for all the info guys, i'm very excited. The srt4 is def exciting to drive but its also not always fun having no traction until 3rd gear. But i've always wanted rwd just hadn't gotten around to it. Well i'll post pics tomorrow if everything goes ok. Oh one more quick thing, the guy i'm buying it from said it doesn't have an EGR spacer or something like that so it wont pass emisions, where can i get a spacer to throw in there so i can get it to pass??
