5.0 questions (buying a 92 LX!!!)

hey i had a 96 Cobra for a while and im in the process of buying a 92 Lx with 52,xxx on it . The mods on the car are as follows:

Rebuilt short block, GT-40 heads, Cobra intake, 65mm throttle body, Griffin aluminum radiator, Edelbrock water pump, Perma-Cool electric fan, 180 degree t-stat, 75 amp alternator, Mac equal length shorties, BBK high-flow catted h-pipe, Edelbrock RPM series mufflers, Ford Racing C springs, Polyurethane spring insulators, BBK g-load brace, Griggs strut tower, Grannitelli upper and lower control arms, Tokico struts and shocks, Holcomb Motorsports full length subframes, Borg Warner T-5, Pro 5.0 shifter, Spec stage 3 clutch, Aluminum driveshaft, Auburn posi, 31 spline axles, 3.73's, 17x9 Cobra R's with 245/45/17 Nitto NT555

My questions are...

1. how much horsepower do you think it will make to the rear wheels?
2. what do you think my 1/4 mile time will be if i hook pretty good?
3. what are some mods that i could do my increase my horsepower a little more and names if good brands (i think some underdrive pulleys and a cam would help)

Thanks in advance for your help

1. hp guess, 220-230 you did'nt say what gt-40 heads so i'm guessing p's? 2. If you can hook, and drive maybe lowto mid 13's
3. blower

3. cam would do good to liven it up a bit on the top end...take even more advantage of the blower too!

Before we start talking about mods....how is it that an almost stock car has a new shortblock @ 52K? I'm willing to bet it's 152k.

With excellent traction, which you will never have set up like that, that could easily be good for mid to high 12's on a slick.

That engine combo is pretty mild. An FMS B or E cam would work good, a TFS Stage 1 would work....Steeda#18.....

the first owner of the car was in a money pinch so he sold the engine and then the guy that owns the car now put the new shortblock in and some other stuff. If the guy was lieing is there any way to tell if the car is 152K rather than 52K?

depending on where you live you can tell by the conditon of the car..I picked up a 92 notch with 79k miles, and the underside was very clean, my gt was "dirty"....check intrior, and best bet is car fax...that will give you the history you want on the car and tell you what you are looking for, it will show how many miles that should be on the car or when it was last registered and the miles
