Adam94GT-
That's funny that you call us "clowns" when some of us are running 12s & 11s with slicks on stock axles. Your 14 second timeslips have hardly given you the experience needed to know how stout the '87-'93 Mustang trannys & rearends actually are.
Eventually I may upgrade...but I have no reason to yet. I have well over a 100 launches on 8.5in. drag slicks launching at 6000rpm on motor (any lower makes me bog after the initial launch) and 5000rpms on a 150shot of nitrous. This is all with a stock T5, stock axles with an Auburn. Don't knock it until you try it man. Slicks can really make your car come alive and help get you consistent track times. And you don't need a Tremec trans. just to throw a sticky tire on your car.
