Depending on altitude you should be able to get it into the 13's without the spray with some sticky tires. Most of the mild motored 5.0's in this area run in the 13.80's on drag radials

are you tryin to make a drag car? if so with the stall, t brake, shift kit, sticky tires, 4.10's and suspension i could bet you'd be really close to 12.9's thats without touchin the motor.

converter: 400
shift kit: 50
sticky tires: 380
adj. u/l control arms: 300
4 banger springs: 50 or less
stange eng. struts 240
sfc full length: 100
e fan: ~100


that would land you in the low 13 zone

nitrous kit: 600

12.9's or faster

do all that plus get some 4.10 gears, transbrake and a little more suspension work and you'd have some pretty impressive times.

would a 2500 stall be too much or too little?
