and id LOVE to see a stock T5 SN run a low 14, i bet high 14's low 15's are all they have in them. mine went 14.4 with a little bit of work done, i think Adder's went in the 14.3-14.2 range with equal mods (had a better "HCI" than i did).

but OP, sorry, these things are dogs...
Haaah.

My fox went low 14s with stock engine and only 4.10 gears. ;D

i really dont see why not... my '90 aod vert went 15.10 and weighed 3600 lbs
my '89 notch went 13.20 with 4.10 and mickeys and 100k on it
my '88 notch went 14.20's street tires and 2.73's 100% stock and 125k
sn95 is NOT 1000 lbs heavier, and i know there is a lack of performance after '92 my '93 sixties better than '89 but about a 1/2 second slower but still 14.00 bone stock (exhaust was already on it)

anyways.... if i remember, we did 3.73 and a 125 shot on my buddies '95 and i think it ran 14.20's off the smack and 13.00 on it... that was like 15 years ago or some $h!t

but they are not that much slower... i'd say 2 tenths in power and another 2 tenths due to weight assuming you are comparing a t5 sn95 to a t5 foxbody hatch

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no.

the black car is my buddies 98 GT.
after almost two years of it being down and with:
Fox Lake ported PI heads
Comp Cams (278AH, the biggest ones you can get)
TF intake manifold
75mm TB
95mm MAF
30#'s
longtubes, OR X, SLP LM1
aluminum flywheel (might or might not help)
and a bunch of other crap INCLUDING spending 2 weekends degreeing the goddamn cams because it HAD to be done...

it made a whopping 286rwhp and 279rwtq...

stick with a pushrod engine.

thanks for the input, i got some buddies that have 95 gt's and 98 gt's and a few with 03-07 gt's and they all dog on my 5.0, but i would trade her for any 4.6, i love the original 302 and the 5 litre engines more than the 4.6, even if mines slower, (for now)

My gt had the same problem. Come to find out it was the torque converter. You said it was an automatic rite?

yes its an auto, it has slight stutter sometimes but barely noticeable.
