'98 Mustang GT in Pure Stock?

06-26-2011, 11:30 AM

What Pure Stock class would it fall in with the V8 and 5-speed? I know it doesn't have the PI heads but would it run the number with headers, tuning, gear, tires, suspension work? I've found one local cheap and want to get into class racing relatively inexpensive.

Natural H/PS add weight to I/PS THE BEST MUSTANG for pure stock!!! I bought one brand new it's best pass was 9.41 showroom stock 1/8 mile (if I had it to do all over again I would have just kept it & run IHRA only) mine was an Auto also.... 14.63 best 1/4mile.

Tommy " Bones " Hussey ran one for years .Still got it and driving on the street and racing footbrake and kicking ***** with it..

Thanks Greg! My plan is to add long tube headers, good mufflers, 4.56 gear, lightweight wheels, DOT drag radials, and suspension work. How do you tune those cars? I've messed with LT1s where we sent the pcm out to be tuned to meet the mods but how do you do the Fords for performance?

I have the same question about the `90 LX 5 speed. My girlfriend`s been braket racing hers for a while,and thought the Pure Stock deal sounds cool. What class would it run,index and weight? Sorry,but I do`t know much about the IHRA stuff. Thanks! Lane
