I know what you mean about 3.8s. I test drove an 88 T-bird with the "good" 3.8 (it had 39,000 original miles) and I was amazed at how weak it felt. I know my 5.0 SO isn't that strong but it felt like my car could have run away and hid from that 3.8 car.

Oh since you have a 5.0 SO with a T5 and a 3.27 open how about you come down to Chicago and I'll run my 5.0 SO AOD and 3.73 Traction-Lok car against ya? Who will win? :grinno:

NSS = Neutral Safety Switch


Oh yeah, duh!  No I didn't bypass, it, just never hooked up the clutch switch yet.

Plus yeah I would win,:cool:  I have already started the HO swap, plus I have a nice 5 bolt conversion with the SN95 suspension, with 4.10's and posi. and 17" '94 GT rims, that will be going in it right after the engine swap.:shakeass: 

Lets run for pinks.  LOL:grinno:

Well one of us either has to go to Canada or Chicago to do this. Who wants to fund a road trip? :grinno:

Just cause you don't like to cry doesn't mean we can't race. I'll let you keep your car. lol :grinno:

On a side note it would be cool to get everyone together for a race sometime. Too bad we all live so far apart.
