hello, im looking at purchasing the following

89 Mustang LX
Factory 5.0 HO Motor w/Mass Air
T-5 Five Speed Tranny
Brand New Clutch/Pressure Plate/Throw Out Bearing/Rear Main Seal
8.8 373 Posi Rear
Full Exhaust w/2.5" Stainless Flowmaster Catback System

my question is, what are these cars rated for in stock form in the 1/4mile (i thought it was around 14.4's)

and obviously the only performance mods are the exhaust, and gears so what kind of gains should be made from that?

im just curious really, and i not expecting it to be a hotrod (yet), ive got my 03 Lightning for that.

stock, look for a high 14/low 15. maybe a mid 14 if ya can drive.

w. ur mods im gonna say low 14 or high high 13 w. some tires n a prty damn good driver mod.

Look in the Tech sticky at the top of the 5.0 section to get some ideas about mods. It already has gears, so look into doing some of the less expensive/free mods 1st, then suspension/chassis. You'll have a better platform for future mods that way instead of throwing power at it and not being able to get it to the ground.

thanks man, although im not looking to make this stang fast for now.. just wondering what she could potentially do. i have my 03 Lightning which is good for high 12's right now for when i want to rip it up a bit.
