Something going on with the car if it's on 2.73 gears.
Does it still have a 5.0 engine in it?

no one in their right mind (IMO) would do a cam swap and leave the rest stock.
but hey... ive seen some dumb $h!t

so you counted rev's... u know it has 2.73 ??? not just going by rpm at a given speed ? cuz i had a 2.73 geared '88 that must have had 4.10's in it at one time..... when it said 70 i was going about 85....so someone corrected it then swapped back

trap speed on this 13.50 run ?? anything over 100 really indicates more than stock power

60 foot ?

Did you get that E.T. at a quarter mile strip that only had 1000' lights set up?

im leaning towards a gear swap myself. i do not believe 2.73's are still in there. youve probably already got 3.55's, either way step up to the big league and go 4.10 anyway. you'll lose alittle top-end, but youll love the bottom end!!! spoken like a true believer right here! i love mine!
