try logging your shift points and rpm at the shift point to find your max output

Hey look adw18ng, with my old *** stock head, stock cam, 306 motor, with like a very high gear ran 13.90 @ Coastal Plains Raceway in NC. Surely to god your well into the 13s. Best advise is if you are looking to save time at the track put those suspension parts I listed on. You can have all the motor you want but if you can't put it to the pavement you're still not gonna go anywere any faster. Here's a story from a friend of mine(my best friend). I'm a Marine and while I was away this happened to him. He has 2 Camaros; one of which is a 97' with a 388, ported heads, ported intake, big injectors, and yata yata yata. He races this mustang with pretty much stock stuff except for a cam and suspension parts kinda like the ones I have. He claims the mustang beat him by about 6 cars.

I dont think you have to worry about being able to break into 13's. w/those mods you surely will. Just concentrate on your launch and shifts and you'll be good!

My car stock went 14.7 @ 92mph with only a Trick Flow intake on stock heads/cam etc. I added Exhaust 4.10's and a King Cobra Clutch and pulled a 14.2 @ 96mph.. With heads and a cam and rockers, injectors etc etc etc like you have, you should be WELL into the 13's... 13.4-13.6 I would say...

Hit the track, and let us know what you run.

^^^ I 150% agree. I dont think you COULDNT be into the 13's. Your mods list is pretty deep and can pull some nice times.

I would start working on your suspension. Lighten up the front end (tubular k member, a arms, coil over, etc.) and than start on the rear and also GET SOME SUBFRAMES! (best thing to do for a fox). Good luck!
