Here is what I have:
302 Ford block .030 over with TRW 10:1 pistons, light wieght steel rods, stock crank, Main Girdle, Heads and mains studded, Zero gap rings, Crane .710/.710 Mechanical roller, Pro Comp 210cc Aluminum heads gasket matched, 1.6 Crane Roller Rockers, Parker Funnel Web intake, and a Holley 750 double pumper, I still have the stock distributor in it for now, I plan on getting a MSD unit..

This is put with a P&A C-4 Trans brake trans, and a 4500 converter..

The car is the 90 Mustang hatch, with full 10 point cage, frame connectors, QA1 tubular front end with adj. struts, 8.8 rear with 31 spline moser axles and spool, 3.73 gear, rear suspension is all adjustable with strange rear shocks, I am running a 28x10 slick, car with me in it is 2950#..

Desktop programs show this setup should run low 11's high 10's...

What do you guys think?

I agree, get rid of the 3.73 gears, its not goin to run in the 10s with that gear. I would change it to a 430 or 4.56.

my mustang (street car) runs 10.90s on motor with a stickshift and with a 4.30 gear and 28x10s
