nope, no aim

I haven't made it to the strip yet. Before I go I need new tires. These kumho 712's suck major sphincter.

I can tell you that it runs neck and neck with a 240sx with the jdm silvia turbo swap - ~240hp at the crank and 5-700 pounds lighter, up to about 140mph where we ran out of road.

I need to do some serious tuning though. I've been getting about 6mpg around town, which isn't right. I'm dumping serious amounts of gas down the exhaust.

Since then I've removed a couple hundred pounds from the car (entire roof gone, all sound insulation stripped that I could). It needs a cage. I don't know if they'll let me run if I don't have any sort of roof.

hope this helps out this info came from the offical ford mustang 5.0 handbook. and these times are completely stock...no mods at all and no aggresive drivers

I never like the abc cams form offers..reason why is they don't address the exhaust flow problem...you need a lil more lift and dur on the exhaust instead of the single pattern cam

Quik

single patterns are nice for blowers and turbos.

which is where mine's headed.

But then whenever I get around to it (and the money) the engine/tranny is going into a Miata. Show me an easier way to shave a thousand pounds off the mustang... (and make it water tight)

Now that is going to suprise the hell out of a lot of people!<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

The guy who sells the kits (crossmembers, exhaust, etc) says that some dude with a blown 5.0 miata had it up to 175 on a track. Nuts.

I like the rumble and whine better than just going the flyin miata turbo route.
