Is this possible?
I bought a 93 lx mustang from a guy the car is wreck drive train is still good. Hes got time slips saying it went 12.1 at 105 mph at atco dragway in NJ.
Mods:
75mm TB spacer
75mm TB
24lbs injectors
Mac shorty headers
H pipe *i think BBK*
flowmaster exhaust
Gt-40 iron heads
Edlebrock lower intake
Rebuilt T-5 with short throw
3.55 gears
he said there might be more he bought the car and added the TB and rebuilt the trans..is this time possible on street tires.. it seems really fast to me unless theres other work done to? what do you guys think? i mean not that it really matters im rebuilding it anyway just trying to get a good idea of were im actually sitting before i rebuild the motor.. ANY THOUGHTS GUYS? thanks

starting with someone elses project or "race" car is a PITA... I bought an old 4cyl to V8 swap off this guy and I just pulled the fenders and bumper and Im about to pull the drivetrain here this weekend. It takes time but if you do it all yourself at least you know it what was done to it. Good luck with it, I cant tell you if that time is correct I can say its gonna be a fun project.

i mean i checked everything out pay 300 dollars for the whole car i figured wasnt a deal i could pass up .. so i bought it .. picking it up saturday on a rollback to bring to my garage .. i know what you mean by that too my camaro i have no clue whats done i know theres alot more then i have listed and i said id never do it again but i got a good deal.. i was just seeing if anyone has seen times like that with those mods cause that will give me a better idea if theres other stuff i needa look for when pulling it apart to figure out whats done to it

Unless he could show me a Video with that car with that Combo running that time I think I'd take the time slips with a grain of salt. I can show you some 8:80 time slips but it won't be for my Mustang. It sounds way to quick for that combo. I'm thinking more like mid to high 13's. He may have done it with a 150 shot hooked to it.

yeah me either i didnt question him too much just kinda looked at him like he had a third eye in the middle of his head.. lol.. but the only way i could see it doing that is if there is more done then he knows about cause he claims he bought the car with everything done.. and he forgets stuff he didnt even remember it had gt40's i noticed it.. and he called his buddy and he said yeah they are gt40s.. i guess i am just going to have to wait to get it home saturday and tear the motor down
im thinking with what i know he definitely has im thinking 260ish rwhp and about 290 -300TQ ? sound about right?

yeah i guess you guys are right.. i didnt ask if he has a sticky tire.. that could make a huge difference i know a local mustang speed shop owner told me he has a 87 that was just full exhaust and sticky tires that he ran a 12.65 with consistanly. so i guess it is possible

Yea thats what i was saying.. i thought he would need to have more work done but hey i guess we will have to wait and see when i start tearing the motor down on saturday if there is anything else done to it.. but the MPH is soo low thats what threw me off it shoulda traped 115 -118 for that 1/4 mile time.
And what is the normal difference in time between atco in nj and Cecil county dragstrip in md
