What do stock '89 5.0L run?

[Ori]

hey all my freind has 5.0L with 173kmiles,i was woundering how fast the 0-60 and 1/4 mile if it was at 5000ft altitude and its manual.thanks

mid 14s-mid 15s. Be more specific.

i was told my 91 AOD and 96k would do mid-high 16s out at bandimere but i dunno about your 89. i haven't tested it stock yet, i should though... i've been waiting for my gears valve body and torque converter.

should run mid 14s maybe low 14s if u got a good driver in the car that knows what he is doin.

low to mid 15s

At 5000 ft? Not a chance.

 

[gt40_2003wes]

forgot bout the 5000ft thing i was just sayin on a reg 1/4 mile track.

low to mid 15s

no way it would be in the 14's he would be in the 15's on the high end, if not 16.

When I first raced my 89 LX totally stock ( in Edmonton Alberta Canada... 4500ft above sea level)..... i was seeing 15.1 to 15.6 with one 14.7 just raggin on it....... hopefully that helps

15-16's

Agree with these guys. Cars run slower at higher altitude. didn't say if it was stick or auto, but i would imagion with a good driver, that might make a .1-.3 difference. I doubt you'll get much lower than 15.4 tho. sticky tires and gears would get 14's.

I ran a flat 15.0 in the 1/4 with my prior 5spd notchback at 800 feet elevation (KCIR), no powershifting. Only mods were an off-road H-pipe and Dronemaster cat-back (with many rust holes), and some VERY hard-as-rocks, un-hooky tires that netted me crappy 60' times ... something like 2.1 or 2.2.

Now, add in more weight for your car being a hatchback, presumably bone stock (if there is such a thing as a bone stock '89 Mustang left in the world), and that suffocating 5000 feet of altitude ... I'm betting at least mid 16's (which is about what my '94 Crown Vic Interceptor last ran).

Do we win cookies for betting closest without going under?

I ran a 14.5 with my car AOD at 94 mph. The car at the time had 123K on it with Long tubes-Hpipe, flows, BBK cold air intake, pullies, chip and 3:73's. So for a bone stock stang to be in the 14's I don't see it! Just my opinion.

You are looking at mid to high 15s with good driving.
To get in the 14s you defiantly need slicks, gears, and couple bolt on i.e.: exhaust, k&n, pulleys.
With my car i ran 15.7 on street tires with just the h-pipe. I could have got 15.5 on a perfect run.

Last time I went to the track I went 15.04 on slicks and the mods in my sig. With a little more practice and my 25# N20 bottle out of the trunk I guarantee I could get a 14.9x
All of my runs were naturally aspirated as well. On my 125 shot I should be around a 13.8

oh god these numbers are depressing. Im glad I dont live at such a high elevation.

thanks guys. Once bandimere opens for the high school races were gunna get a group of peeps and bring us down there. Itll be a blast for sure.Do you guys know what 0-60mph the 5.0's get?

For a stock 5.0, 6.5-7.0 would be normal for 0-60 mph.

ran 15.06 at 93MPH without my gears when I was in Hawaii and that was spinning everywhere. If I launched better I could have hit atleast a 14.99. All I think I had was my exhaust and timing to 14*. Maybe the altitude makes a big difference but I don't see 14's being hard to get.
