I also have a brand new setup of 15X 3 ½” and 15X10” Pro stars and 28X10 ½” slicks, wheel spacers, etc. They were only on the car to go around the block. The car should run high 9’s on slicks. It has gone 135mph with the automatic which usually robs some trap speed. Car is almost flawless, few small nicks on the front edge of the hood. Turns heads everywhere. Asking $35K for everything. I will take you to the track to prove how well the car runs and the timeslips that I have are included with the car. Please email [email protected]. Also, the car is not gutted or missing anything. A/C blows ice cold, power everything, even the insulation is still attached under the carpet. Car is full weight. Car drives like it is stock. No bucking, surging, etc. Cruises at 2200 rpm at 75mph with the converter locked up.

Yes, I bought the car in VA. The car is different now though. They ran a stock heat exchanger with one of those import type sprayers on it. Stock tb, air inlet, 2 1/2" exhaust, stock idlers, etc. I added all of those parts and had it retuned. The way I got the car it made 565 rwhp through the AOD-E which is pretty good through that. It has now made 614 on a pump gas tune through the same trans on a Mustang dyno. It went a best of 11.30 @128 on 18" drag radials before and has run 10.78 @ 134 on the same tires since. Car drives perfectly too. Those X braces are no longer there because of the 3" exhaust with tailpipes. It now has an 8 point rollbar as well. The only reason I am THINKING of selling it is because I can't get it to hook up at the track with the loose converter and automatic. On the street from a roll it is a different story. With the automatic it is an animal. A 6 speed car with similar stuff and a race fuel tune was no match. The car handles/drives so well with the Bilsteins that I don't want to put drag stuff in there. If I could get it to hook and then even use the transbrake, I know it'll go high 9's. I mean, babying it out of the hole and it goes just a tick under 135 on 18" DR with an automatic, it'll do it. I guess I probably should just buy the damned struts/shocks/springs and be done with it.

Bump for an awsome car, I have seen and worked on it very very nice. when the guy in VA had it, it made over 700rwhp through the auto with juice but i know he took that off before he sold it so those numbers sound about right.
I'm sure some 28x11.50x15 M/T drags would do the trick

Yeah, I have been thinking about spraying it. The problem is, I have no control. Back in the day I sprayed a stock block 302 with a 275 shot with a single Holley Blue pump. I used to wipe out the 4 corner plugs on every pass but the car flew! It's amazing the stupid things you do. So, I would like to add a 75 shot but that would escalate into who knows what. I can't run 9's legally with the car because I would need a 10 point and that isn't happening so my goal is to drive to the track and do nothing, not even lower tire pressure, and run 10.20's or better. I was thinking turbo but the car runs too good the way it sits. I am actually leaning toward nitrous over the winter, I just need to throw the other jets away!
