Yup.

W/ 1.7 rockers, 76mm MAF and 65mmTB, shorties, MAC mufflers, stock cats, underdrive pullies, 3.73's and ET Streets- 13.25 at 102.5mph in my '92 LX.

Posted by Black94 5.0 (Member # 655) on :

I suggest getting a set of gears next...If you drive the car everyday 3.73 would be better, but if you just drag race it then go with 4.10's...

As far as more engine mods, I would buy some underdrive pulley's and a 76mm C&L mass air meter and you should be able to run mid to high 13's....

Dont forget about tires(slicks/drag radials)....Driving skill and practice is helpful in getting low 1/4 mile times too... [patriot]

edit: Please dont type in "CAPS"...It means you are yelling...

A 95 Mustang C&L would NOT fit.....95 Mustangs have a flange at the end of the mass air meter, 88-93 Mustangs do not....You also want to make sure that any MAF you buy is calibrated for your stock 19lb injectors also...

Also, how much would it be to get gears installed,where do you recommend me goin?I can get the gears cheap from my work .Im from hayward so somewhere close would be best. Thanx

Posted by Black94 5.0 (Member # 655) on :

Most fello Stangers have good luck at Rearend Specialties in Santa Clara...I think its around $200 labor...

Posted by 89TRUNK (Member # 2506) on :

You reccomend 3.73's right,if you know anybody sellin any of the parts stated in the other post,let me know.Thanks for all your info.

exactly a hidden kit is N/A

Posted by kwikrob (Member # 835) on :

Try Differential Doctors in San Leandro. The guy's name is Tom, about the same price as Rear End Specialties and a whole lot closer. He did the spool in my car.

Purchase some Nitto 555R Drag Radials and get some 3.73's installed at Rear End Specialties.

Then if I were you I would sell my whole exhaust set up and go with new BBK Long Tubes with a shorty off Road h-pipe and your choice of mufflers.

Set of pullys would help out as well.

I've a set of FMS 1.7 "cobra" rockers for your 13 second quest...brand new. PM me if interested. [patriot]

Posted by FasterDamnit (Member # 442) on :

FYI-
My rockers caused valve float at 5500 on the 90k mile stock springs. Ran the times shifting just before that.
