Jthorn seems about right on power. Although time may be a few tenths high. I say 14.5.

The average GT 5 speed will run low 14's, high 13's with an awesome driver, and they have about 230-235rwhp stock. So he's got about 10-15 less HP, so mid 14's is about right. It really depends on the driver mod, though.

230 for the 5 speed.. about 5-10 less for the auto. your time will depend on tempertature, humidity, traction, and elevation. you will be in the 14's with the 50 shot and agood 60 ft time assuming 80 degrees low-mid humidity decent reaction and no more than 3000 feet elevation

This is kinda of beside the point, but a 15% driveline loss in a New Edge GTwould be about ~220HP. ( 260HPtimes .85) In a recent 5.0 Mustang & Super Ford mag tech articles a few stock 5spd New Edges put down 210-215 RWHP. They are capable of mid-low 14's with the driver mod. They might still have a slight TQ advantage, though, over the OP's car.

*Edit, the OP's mods should compliment each other(intake/exhaust work) plus a dyno tune,so gains overall as a percentage might be slightly higher than the orginal estimate. Is the dyno only for the spray?
How about traction? T-Lok? Tires? I don't think open 3.27's on 215's tires will appreciate WOT.
