Do you think my car will perform well?

mustangLX92 · 11-05-2001, 09:52 AM

my car is a 92lx 5.0.
Front Suspention- Motorsports springs 1 coil cut out. Lakewood drag struts
Rear Suspention- Southside Machine rear lower arms. Motorsports upper arms. Lakewood Drag shocks. Southside rear drag springs.
Rear End- 3.55 Gears. Alburn posi-traction.
31 spline axles.
2 1/2" Flowmaster exhaust. Stock headers.
GT 40 Upper and lower intake manifolds
GT 40 heads. crane roller rockers
19lb injectors

Does anyone have numbers for a stock 92lx?
What are some estimates has to how well my car will do at the track. I know the only way to tell is to just go to the track, but
some input on the numbers would be helpful.

Also how much horsepower do you guys think i am making?

All that with stock headers? Ugh. Your engine is choking on its own fumes. Get some long tubes quick!

You might see anywhere from high 14's to mid 13's.

As for horsepower, you might be making somewhere around 260 or so if your engine could breath.

Gunning for 12's!

ET for a stock '92 T-5 would be in the mid-to-high 14's.

With the heads, intake and gears you should see high 13's but yeah, get headers, ASAP.
You can launch hard with that drag suspension; slicks would help and really drop the et. I agree with a 260 HP estimate but it's et that counts and good suspension, traction and driving skill can lower that more than HP numbers might suggest.

Good luck at the track.
