He said he ran a 14.6 stock, then with the bolt-ons he ran a 14.4.

It made sense because he didn't say "My car is supposed to run 14.6 stock", he said he ran 14.6 stock.

Just throw a turbo on it. If you dont care about turning, you can take the swaybar off the front. That with 3.73 or 4.10 and some slicks would have impressive timeslips. I was reading MM&FF and the old 88+ mustangs ordered with no A/C, rollup windows, and a basic base model they were pulling mid/low 13's to some doing high 12's

14.6 in a stock 5.0 is good, that other dude was confused I guess.

Ok, lets break it down again.

You ran a 14.6 stock.

You only ran a 14.4 with headers,h-pipe, pullies, CAI, and catback.

Those modifications are supposed to take more that .2 off your time...that's probably why he said you can't drive worth a shit.

Do we understand now? It really wasn't that hard.

maybe he drove shitty after he added the bolt-ons, but drove great prior to that.
