Would you mind me asking what you think it would take?
The F/SA index is 11.85. If that happened, then a decent converter and a lightweight set of brakes might be in order. I suspect that people smarter than me would still be able to make these cars comfortably run under. |
Post # 27 is a prime example. Stock convertor, half shafts, stock intercooler.
3" o/r downpipe, tune, and NHRA spec fuel on the approved list.
You should be able to run index easy. You will need a fuel sampling valve in the car's fuel system and submit samples after a qualifying run. The roll bar and driveshaft loop are easy adds.
The tune is the key with that 2.3EB.
Those cars are soooo under rated and de-tuned from the factory because Ford has to deal with the habits of the driving public and also for warranty reasons.
If they released the cars with a better tune they would risk someone putting lousy 87 octane fuel in it and detonating the engine under warranty so there are safeguards built into the factory tune.
If that combo ever gets factored to G then it will need an SFI harmonic balancer
