I'd be surprised if it didn't have some high 12's in it myself. A good launch and I can almost guarantee it. That is before the spray. I don't know how much you plan on spraying, but I'd be upset if it were mine and it didn't go into the 11's.

oh and here is also another project me and my buddy are doing at the same time.. lol using all my stock **** (heads, cam, intake) we got it with a blown aod and the motor was just taken apart cuz the guy had a bunch of performance parts on it that he kept. it also had a blue interior that we just swaped over to gray (cuz i had an entire interior in my garage) and traded it all to this local guy that has a crap ton of mustang parts for some of the stuff we needed for this project.
