any guess what this thing will run like?

[Mike Gager]

1989 5.0 AOD coupe

stock mafs
stock TB
stock intake, cam, heads
stock shortblock

has BBK shorties, off road H pipe and dynomax race magnum mufflers

stock AOD with stock torque convertor
2.73 rear gears


i havent ran this thing yet at the track but my SOTP guess would be mid 15s

anyways im adding a NOVI1000 with the F150 pulley, steel discharge and bypass and a power pipe

going to run the stock 19lb injectors and an FMU and pobably an inline fuel pump

any guess what i should expect with the blower?


:crazy:

Well because it is my novi you will run low 9's :p

Really though you will be adding 80-100 HP with the kit.

yea any guess's on the time with blower i have pretty much stock engine but i have 5sped with 3.55's and i might get a intake real soon.

I'm gonna try an educated guess of high 13s low 14s. I figure I added around 115Hp but I have a few more bolt ons, more gear and more converter.

How far do you plan on taking this car mike?

[Mike Gager]

well id be pretty happy if it ran 13s in this state of condition with the blower

if it stays together i may put the 5 speed i have in and a set of 3.73s or 4.10s and see what she will realy do. not sure if im gonna get those GT40s i was talking about the other day but thats still an option

i really like the automatic but it wil be expensive to keep it AOD since ill have to buy a convertor and probably get the trans rebuilt so the better choice may be going with the 5 speed but then again i dont know.

Mike if you wanna stay auto and don't live on the freeway a C4 can be done for pennies.

I took my 01GT 5spd to the track a couple weeks ago and have decided I will never do a 5spd swap in my 89GT.:lol: It would take me a year to figure out how to make it go quick and I would probably break the damn thing.

ive had a C4 before and didnt like it. i drive on the highway too much
