what would it take to get my 90LX with AOD to run mid 14s all day long? it already has CAI, 65mm TB, and cat back flowmasters.

86 5.0L

have you taken it to the track as-is?

if your lucky it already runs that, whats slowing you down is that AOD, a shift kit would be a nice start, add a set of stick tires and higher stall and you'd be at mid 14s comfortably

sticky tires, gears and shift kit and you might break 13.99's if your engine is still strong

i run low 15s as of right now and it has 133k which ive heard its got alot of life left

traction doesnt seem much of an issue. it grips pretty good

ditch the DOA and with sticky tires and exhaust you should be low 14's easy

gears 3.73 should be fine with out killing your MPG totally, Have you bumped your initial timing yet? 14 degrees should work well.

gears would be ur best investment

my old aod had similar mods and ran low 14's all day with factory 3.27's

like raven said... gear. w/ basic bolt ons you should clear 14s (h or x pipe O/R, Exhaust, CAI, Tune, AND some Drag radials) maybe alum driveshaft. if your not worried about MPG. then go with 4.10s. is so, like rave said 3.73s.

wouldnt recomend putting a shift kit in it man.......... put one in my car with 109k miles on it and blew up the trans with in 1000 miles! (was driving very aggresively!) But before i put the shift kit in, i had my 4.30s and let me tell you that woke up the car A LOT! do at least 4.10's for an automatic
