I think you're going to have to be a little more specific.

It depends on what kind of modifications you have, I dont really know how to just flat out tell you what the fastest n/a 2.3 stang is.

I'll let you guys know how i do next wednesday. Went to the track last wednesday, I was filming though, and didn't have my car. I'm bringing it this time though.

Any thoughts? lol

91 dp motor, silencer/gutted intake - that's it ... oh its a 5sp aswell. Im hoping for anything in the 17's ... doubt it though.

Sweeet .. can't wait for that ... lol ... it's going to be quite embarassing .. but oh well .. i've got to have a comparison for before/after turboswap. If I didn't need my car to last me until January, I would hook up the nitrous kit I have here, but hell I still need to drive this thing t'ill winter hits.

gets boring flying down the track and watching every car pass you and eventually just leave you as a speck in their rear view. but ohh well. I stoped drag racing for awhile due to this. besides it hurts the car to much.
my 80 turbo ran 21's when it wasnt running right! LOL but that was doing the aprox 1/4 and counting the seconds.

Another old thread I found.

I know of a 2.3 Pinto that went 11.80 N/A mid 9s on spray.

The Pro-Lite Rangers went pretty fast on the 2.3s, didn't they?

I would expect my turbo SVO to do low-15s right now....maybe.
