Seems like your car runs well enough to keep you in the game. What is your setup/combo?

Is it possible there is something else done to your car by the previous owner that you do not know about..... Those times are awesome for the mods...

yeah those times are really nice

glad to finally see some more bolt on L98s running 100+ plus and getting mid 13's. everyone always talks up the mustangs fox's with there mod for mod abilities. well seems like whole new intake swap, and some suspension/gears/converter, we L98's can hit mid 13's or so

no nothin else done to car. i got lucky when i got it i paid 1800
for the car runnin like crap. me and my handy paperclip new what was wrong when purchased. i took it home put in junkyard maf sensor15.00 and the car ran great. lol

prev owner not to happy seeing me drive it the next day

the heads have never been off the car. the waterpump came off for the first time when i installed the electric pump( ie ) no cam swap done. and the heads were the stock poor cast when i inspected it during intake install.

i was a gm tech for 10 years now a service advisor.
got sick of workin on others peoples cars. now i tinker with mine.
