you don't say what gears you have in the rear, I would go to 3.73's or lower to improve performance some more. looks like you've got a stout motor, make it work with more gears!

Thank you for the reply. I have 3.73 FMS gears. Any more ideas on how I can get better performance?

if you ain't already got em, get some slicks for the track so you don't wear out your street tires. i bought a set of used stock aluminum wheels from the used parts place for $150 and the slicks run about $325 mounted.
I still have 4 nice Mustang turbine wheels and the two used ones for sale, make me an offer and we can deal! I'll let you have the used slicks for free if you buy at least two wheels! one has a tiny slow leak but they still got lots of life left in them. 26" x 9" Hoosiers.

What I'm thinking of doing is selling this car and starting on a new one. This car is in great shape with only 57k miles. How much do you think I can get for it? 1993 Mustang GT AOD with the specified mods. Exterior and interior are both original and in great shape.
