A new kid at work has an '86 GT.

According to him, it has Twisted Wedge heads, an Edelbrock Performer intake, unequal-length shorties, 36lb (I think...they have a red top) injectors, and a big-*** MAF...and that's all. He claims that not only is it making "about 520 at the wheels", but that he also has the STOCK, ORIGINAL T5, and that it uns "low 11s".

Now, I am not an engine expert. I really don't think the car runs low 11's, especially considering the $3000 in stereo equipment he has under the hatch. Secondly, I don't think you can make more than 550hp with a N/A 302. Don't most well-built 347s only crank out 350-400?
