Are 13s Possible???

ThreePonyStable · 03-09-2002, 03:06 PM

I was wondering if 13s are possible with this setup.

Car: 1989 LX 5.0

Tranny: AOD w/ 2400 stall converter, and B&M shift kit

Intake: 93 Cobra upper and lower, Mac cold air kit (fenderwell), 70mm 93 Cobra Mass air Meter, 65mm BBK throttle body,

Exhaust: Light porting and 3 angle valve job on heads, Mac 1 5/8" shorty headers, Flowmaster catback.

Other: 93 Cobra Cam, BFGoodrich Drag Radials.

Fuel: 110 lph pump, 24 lb Injectors.

If 13s aren't possible, what would it run, and what would the mph be???

What Gears Do You Have?

ditch the cobra cam, it's the worst cam ever installed in a fox body. Even a stock 5.0 cam would be better.

Also what gears do you have?

Is it a hatchback or a notch?

They are 3.73 gears, and it is a hatchback.

Does anyone have a similar setup, and if so what times are you running?

I'd say its possible, though it would be easier with a 5 speed. I ran a 13.9 with the stock long block, 3:73's, underdrive pullies, 2 1/2" full exhaust w/ unequal shorties, 73mm maf, 65mm tb, and LCA's and I had room for better times with better driving. But i have a 5 speed too.

This is my sons car, and he bought all the parts. I'm going for 12s with some more mods, and he wants at least 13s, and with hads he wants to run for the 12s also.
