WEll guys, I gave it my all. The carb was tuned almost dead on, and it just seems like the mustang is **** slow and does not like mods. (I also cant drive worth a damn on street tires)

Best time of the night was:

60' 2.330 (yes, thats ****ty as hell, no flames)

1/8 9.530@77.58

1/4 14/583@98.37


My mods are:

FMS aluminum DS
UPR tubular upper/lower control arms
Probe forged pistons
GT40P heads
10.5:1 compression
4.10 gears
TKO500 transmission
FRPP Strut tower brace
50/50 lakewood shocks
4-way KYB AGX struts
245/60/15 cooper cobra gt's
575 Barry Grant Mechanical Speed Demon
Holley Red Pump
1989 140mph speedomoeter
MSD ignition
MSD Pro Billet Dizzy
MAC shorty headers
BBK X-pipe
Flowmaster force II cat-back
Steeda full length subframes
3-core radiator
Stainless flex-a-lite fan
Underdriven crank pully
X303 cam
1.6 aluminum RR's
Edelbrock RPM Intake
Mallory return regulator
Upper/lower tq box reinforcements
New quad shocks
2.75" cowl hood
High volume oil pump
King Cobra clutch
Adjustable billet clutch quadrant
Billet flywheel
Audiovox CD player
TKO short throw handle
Moroso Valve covers

For those of you who say "oooh it should be faster" yes, it would hit high 13's on some slicks and with a better launch im sure. Seems that is about all this baby has in her. To be honest, I am kindof dissapointed. I expected a little more, oh well, win some, lose some.

You're basically just a h/c/i 5.0 with not such good heads and a really crappy cam. That's basically all your power adding mods. I don't see why no one believes you? I guess they just see a whole list full of crap and don't actually read the list of mods.

I had a buddy of mine talk more **** than anyone alive a couple months back when he got his h/c/i 306 running. He then went out and blistered some 9.7x @ 7x'ish mph and he hasn't took the car out again yet. It's always "got something wrong with it."

IMO there is somthing very wrong with that car. A stock 88 GT should near that time. I think the entire combo is mismatched. I have seen stock cam, GT40 headed cars run well into the 12's so to me this car should be WAY faster.
