I have a 87 LX 5.0. Run it last night went 12.12et @108.00mph 1.59 short times. Really ran out of power at the 1000' mark . The stock motor and heads are really SLOWING me down on the top. That is changing soon!!. I am running a Lentech Strip terminator w/ brake and custom 10" converter and never had the first problem. Neck cracking shifts!!
