Default How fast should my fox run?

I have a 87 gt 5-speed. Ive installed bb&k cold air intake, bb&k 70mm throttle body and egr spacer, under drive pulleys, smog pump delete, new plugs and wires, and 4.10 gears. What do you guys think she will run?

I think this thread may get moved... And are you curious about how fast it'll run in the 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, or just in general top speed? those are some thing guys need to know before giving you an answer. And how are the 4.10's working for you with a 5 spd very lightly modded? I thought about going that route in my 5 spd as well.

I've had no experience with 4.10's in 5 spd, just 2.73's and 3.89's. But with your mods, and assuming good driving, I'd agree with trimdrip, mid to high 8's. As for the 1/4, i'd have to say mid to high 14's. Doesnt that seem like too much shifting to do in drag racing though, with them 4.10's? lol

absolutely correct. being its a 5 speed and we dont know how good of a driver you are, i will expand it to 14.8-15.2 in the quarter.
