I started out years ago with my 87 mustang M/SA set up just like yours and first time out went 12.50's. I had 30 inch tires with 5.13, but your 56's with 26 inch tires shouldn't be to far off. Key is the automatic cars don't like being reved up, I shifted at 5400 and went thru at around 6400. But the main difference is the computer. We had an old Accel in the beginning and later put a FAST in it. These are very good combos don't give up, just put a real computer in it. By the way I'm just finishing up my 92 mustang in SS/LA with same fuel injected 5.0 and we're gonna see if we can't get one to run well SS.
