In 1993, I ran an 11.26@128mph with radials in a 1991 Mustang GT.

The car weighed in at 3300 pounds.

Mods were:

• GT40 Heads fully ported by Craig Gallant (formerly of Texas Turbo)
  
• GT40 Intake port matched to heads
  
• 1.7 Jesel Roller Rockers
  
• 65mm Throttle Body
  
• Stock Short Block
  
• E303 Cam indexed and advanced 2 degrees
  
• Texas Turbo Long Tube headers with 3" collectors by Burns Stainless
  
• Vortech B-Trim supercharger with 12 psi of boost. Note it had a 15# pulley combo that netted 12 psi.
  
• Two Chamber Race Style Flowmasters dumped
  
• 3.55:1 gears with Auburn posi
  
• Tremec tranny
  
• HKS Racing Bypass Valve
  
• Canton Oil Pan with windage tray
  
• Full Griggs Suspension
  
• Baer Racing Brakes

If you know of anyone who ever street raced on Almonaster Blvd in New Orleans or was around at the time here in Houston, they can vouch for the car's brutal strength. The car did have GT40s that would flow quite well. Given that most of the engine mods were to breathe at top rpm, the determination to advance the cam two degrees was to eliminate the stumble the car had when shifting on the road course from 4th to 5th. By advancing the cam, the car picked up three mph in the quarter mile and had no dip in power when making the fifth gear shift.

Given the technology of then and now, I will still pic the E303 when I build my new engine.
