I ran 13.9 on the DYNO with an older tune with 265 at the rear. I have been to the track once, and with my useless Sumitomo HTR Z 315/35/17 tires, I was not able to get any traction and only ran a straight 15 1/4 mile.
These tires will start smoking with hardly any throttle. Hopefully this summer I can score some DRs, but lots of money going into the motor ($7500.00)

We're aiming for around 300. I figure the stock 150, with a Procharger will get it to 260 (well, the website claims that anyways) and then a Stage 3 Powerpack from SSM - SSM says the Stage 3 kit will add 100 HP. Those numbers total 360 HP but I'm guessing that that combo will yield closer to 300 HP. Those engine mods plus gears, tighter suspension and a few extra's here and there (cold air intake, etc.) and it'll be quite the 232ci. It won't be the fastest V6 but it'll definetly keep up with a stock SN95 Cobra! I don't want her to have a race car, just something with a bit of pep that she'll be proud of. Sadly, the 150 HP that came with the SN95 's is very underpowered for the size / weight of the car - it's a chore to even pass on the highway sometimes.

I know this is an older thread, but i am just trying to get caught up here, being a newb and all. There is a guy local to me who has a 1994 T- Bird SC and he runs a magnacharger on it. The car puts out 550+ hp. There is also guys running in the tens in the states with these 4000 lb cars. Some those SC guys are really hardcore and can run big numbers. I am a sbf guy and get ragged on by those guys who run these cars as i converted mone but i think they are pretty impressive.

I have no doubt Tom Morana is an extremely knowledgeable guy. I've read a lot about him and Morana Racing Engines. Unfortunately, I've heard very mixed reviews about Morana Racing and I don't have the budget to experiment. I think I'm just gonna stick to one of these two Suprechargers and then get my core engine components (cam, upper and lower intake, heads, plus forged internals) From Tom over at Super Six Motorsports. I've never read anything negative about those guys - I've spoken to Tom over email and over the phone and he's very professional. Expensive, but professional. I figure I'll go supercharger and then a Stage 3 Powerpack - should add roughly an additional 150 HP to the stock 150 HP. I'll be happy with 300 plus HP.
