are your torque boxes welded up and/or reinforced? If not, be careful launching with drag radials or slicks, they'le rip up your torque boxes. Just a heads up if you dont already know

99% of people here will tell you no, because most people can run 12's in a bone stock foxbody... Anyway, yes 14.7 sounds about right, and also you should definately remove your 3" and reinstall 2.5.

I think if you went down to a 2 1/2" exhaust you'd probably pick up .5 as well....just an opinion

My buddy ran a 14.0 in a stock 89 GT with a E cam, street tires and no catback because it fell off, the car was a fucking bucket. When we first saw the car it had been sitting outside with the hood and hatch popped for a year and a half.

The exhaust isn't too big, your engine is too small. Leave the 3" on the car and put a bigger motor in it!

14.7 is about right for a stock full weight gt (1987-93 cars) if you granny shift it. You car has drag radials so it should be a bit better though. What were your traps and 60 foot times?

Then again..driver experience and skill has a contributing factor. Are you power-shifting any of the gears?

I bought my car in 95 and it had 9k miles on it and was 100% stock. I ran 14.51 @ 93.7mph the first time out. I only had the car for 2 weeks at that point and I only got 4 passes down the track. It is a 5spd LX Hatch. I am sure I could have gone quicker with some more practice but I modified it before bringing it back out. This was on the factory tires. I took the airbox snorkel out of the fender, added a drop-in K&N, and put flowmasters and underdrive pulleys on it and I ran 14.4 @ 97mph the next week. The mph went way up but I spun too much and had worse 60fts. It went to low 14's with more experience. It got into the high 13's @ 100mph with stickier tires, shorty headers, and offroad H-pipe. Mid to low 13's with 3.55's and even better tires.

What was your trap speed?

You're upset you ran a 14.7, BUT YOU CAUSED IT! 3" exhaust is TOO big for your combo. Don't think it matters? Unless you're putting down 400 "RWHP" the 2 1/2" is what you need. You should put a HUGE cam in your car while your at it, then you'll run 15's and want to buy a Chevy even worse!

Kids who mix match parts and get pissed at the ET's =

I ran a stock coupe 5 speed with the same set up RyanM has and on street tires ran 14.3 at 94 mph and with Hoosier QTP tires barely launching at 2000 rpm ran 14.0 at 96. Your close just work on your launches and shift points. you'll get it!
