Thanks guy's, it was a 2 year deal, but I achieved my goal. A 12 second, untouched heads,cam,intake (except to match egr spacer) daily driver.

Here's the package:

93 LX Hatch 5-speed
6" Conical
73 MAF (right smack on the T.B, eliminated tube, that always went over like a bomb at the track!!!)
65 FMS T.B
67 FMS EGR
Stock Intake, Cam and heads
March Pullies
1&5/8" Mac crap Long tubes
2 Chamber Flowmasters dumped (this car was loud)
Cheesy Sub-frames
Aluminum D.S.
FMS Uppers
Southside Lowers (the old non-greaseable ones, ugh!)
3.73 gears, yes, that's right 3.73's! (It wanted 4.10's bad!)
26X8.5 Mickey slicks
Extra steel in the Traction-Lok (my little secret back in 1993, not so secret today)

TRACK ONLY ITEMS:

Remove Fan
Install Engine Torque Strap
Remove Front Sway Bar (keep the rear one, evens launch)
ASF32C Motorcraft Plugs gapped HUGE
Short Belt
March Race Pulley
Battery in the Back
Weather was a nice cool, dry, fall day at a Central Illinois track (Byron Dragway)
50lbs air or so in front tires.
Drain washer fluid (Re-use) (hey!, every bit helps)
And a few other E.T. sqeaking secrets, not sure I want to share

3440 lbs. with my fat A$$ in it!
Launched on the limiter, tried to break it, ya know!
60 ft was 1.69
E.T was 12.92
M.P.H was 104.53

Mr. 5.0 what do you think!!!!!
