It consistently does12.9 @109 mph. I'm getting ready to change the torque converter. It should get better times when I can launch better, maybe low 12s based on my mph.
@assassin420666 Yes! I was about to ask you if you thought about changing the converter. Post your cam specs and the fact its got 3.90 gears and the weight and we will give you some more opinions. So far, I say with a turbo 400, guessing a weight of 3350#'s (with you), 3.90 gears, turbo 400 trans, I would go 2400 max without lock-up... If it was lock up, I would go 3000.
Great car, What a sound! My old Mondeo has to go!!

What rear end gear are you running ?
patch68 2 years ago
I had the rear end rebuilt with a new Eaton posi unit and Richmond 3.90:1 gears.
