Not all 5.0's are as fast as people might think.

I find this hard to believe. I have seen some very beat on Mustangs (mine is very slow also) and I have never seen one worse than a high 15 with a very bad driver!

Not all 5.0s are fast (as this kid showed) but you have to watch out for those stock factory freaks!

My friend has a '96 Blazer. He ran a 17.8 with it.

That must have been one ragged out 5.0

No big deal, but yes I should be. I ran this with a week of stick driving so needless to say my shifts were pretty bad. I should be at least 13.5 or so at well over 100, but I do need to tune it. If I were comparing with my dads LX, I should be 13.0-13.2 at 103+ but I try not to do that!
