lol, i see that now. I would bet if the guy put it back together with new bearings, it wouldn't run 11.90 again. It may run the exact same but, I wouldn't bet on it.

"was going to put higher compression pistons in so it was pulled apart, and never reuse bearings"

I don't care what it runs in the 1/4. I can sell the trans and make up atleast half the cost (I hope) and wanna do it for a learning experience. Buying the mustang in general was for the learning experience so why not upgrade the car, and learn a thing while I can?
