Default need help from the 5.0 boys

A buddy of mine just got his newly purchased 90 GT (302 mild cam and mild head work) back from getting dyno tuned from a very reputable mustang tuner. anyway to make a long story short. He's putting down 280 ponies at the wheels. What do you think it will run in the 1/4 with a good driver and slicks? stock suspension, stock gears. Thanks guys!

Low 13's with decent driver. Some sticky tires and a lil suspension work and 12's. Lot of suspension with some gears and dr's = mid 12's.

Sounds great. Mild head work and mild cam (280 to the wheels? hmmmmm) Ok if this is the case. Expect high 12s
