Yes, welcome to the board, and we hope you enjoy the Stang. The CS models look really cool.

I'll agree with Rev. The stock 289/302 cars were not very fast. They were fun to drive, but the puny stock cams and tiny port/valve arrangements on the heads pretty much shut these engines down around 4k.

I would say 17-17.5 stock depending on engine condition. They really were no faster than this new. A four speed car might be a little quicker, but 16.5 is probably tops there too.

A small cam, aftermarket intake, and some gears really make it feel much quicker. Doc.
