Sounds about right. My buddy ran 15.0-15.1 in his SVO, which is nearly stock (TC comp/injectors/IC, 3", 15 psi) and we're at altitude.

yeah its not too bad. The thing that has blown my mind is how fast the coupe is now. With nothing more than pulleys, exhaust, Volvo cooler and an 80 shot it pulled both wheels and went 7.99 @86.28. The engine longblock was completely untouched, stock cam, stock intakes, stock T3, and NO PORTING.

Now its the same as above except an NPR intercoler, roller cam, 100shot, fresh T3, and skinnies on the front. Now it hits really hard and feels like about a 7.6-7.7 in the 1/8th.

I have an identically set-up 87 coupe with the windsor. NO PORTING, but had cam, intake, and Edel 600. Pulleys, exhaust (used stock headers though) MSD dist, 6AL, and coil. It went 8.30 on street tires and 7.81 90 on ET streets.

So over the summer I came to the conclusion that my 4cyl would be my fastest car so far and by far the cheapest.....Look for the new budget 351 soon

I also decided that wasn't all that important either to me. I had a guy running 8.4 with a 125 shot and more mods than me say "I don't care what it 'you think it it runs' it still doesn't sound like this" and he revved it up.
I walked up to my buddy that does staging and had me and this joke lined up together. Needless to say I murdered him and he didn't even pick up his timeslip. He left and we haven't seen him since.
AND the funniest part since I cut him off the tree really hard, at no point at all did I hear his car.

It's talk like this that has me disenfranchised with V8s.
