I've owned two 5.0s and let me tell you, it takes a bunch more than gears and
exhaust for them to run low 13s. Try intake, pulleys, throttle body, computer
and probably nitrous or a blower. I run against stangs in our musclecar club
challenges here in Texas four or five times a year. Very few of the normally
aspirated non-cobras can beat me and I run 14.7s. Stock Mustangs usually run
mid to low 15s. About a month ago, a local punk and I ran on the street and he
had a computer, headers and exhaust. I beat him two out of three times(the
last time was a 20 punch and he got ahead one car length but couldn't pull
away up to 100mph+).
