So I'm planning on racing my dad in his 90 Thunderbird SC. It's an automatic. Only mod he has is a pulley swap but he is getting his exhaust worked next week. He's talking about wanting to race once he gets the exhaust done. I know you guys hate bench racing but how do you think I'll do? I'm stock BTW.

 

Wow, if this post had been about a "Riced out Honda" there would have been 100 replies. Maybe thats what I call the thread next time.

 

Does he have the 305ci or the 350ci? Either way has atleast 200hp at the crank..and with the supercharger+pulley swap= your death.






My condolences nice and early...


"Corrected"

I thought your were talkin about a trans am for some reason...

Thunderbirds didn't have V8's in 1990 right? Either way the V6 was still cooking with around 210hp so with the pulley swap..yeah I still say it= your death.



My condolences again..

 

Well, at least you gave me a reply even though it was bad news. And yeah, it is a 3.8 V6 w/ a Eaton SC.

 

Hey I gotta be honest with you just in case you were putting some money on the line... or you could get some N20 installed...

 

i think your toast man, a guy around here has the exact same setup as your dad pretty much and he murdered my buddy with his stock 95 GT.........

 

I believe those S/C'd T-Birds were low 15 second cars. Which I think it would be a good race stock for stock, but the pulley swap and exhaust is gonna up his power a decent amount. Nice death ahead of time.

 

Drivers race IMO

 

I think my only edge is gonna be my weight. Those T-Birds weigh in at around 3800 lbs.

 

RIP my friend.
