I think I am gonna take my stock 86 ls down to the raceway, they were doing test and tune all day saturday, but I got stuck up doing things. I will prolly get a cruddy 18 seconds or so.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Congrats TC5.0!

I ran the '87 down the track yesterday.  out of 25 passes, I managed a 14.25 @ 96.6 MPH.  The track was weird, you either hooked and bogged or spun badly.  Didn't think that was to bad of a time for a stock 5.0L with just, SF connectors, a Phenolic spacer, K&N and 2.5" Flowmasters and tails.  Next week I should have the Explorer intake on and the E303 in her.

I didn't think it was that great of a deal, I just got sick of being beat out at the last minutes of the auction and refused to lose this one. LOL

Came to $280 CDN with sending the money order Express post

That's the cheapest I've seen an Explorer intake. All the ones I've seen have been $300+. You got lucky:D
