This is my cousin's 89 GT. It has 175k miles on it. I installed this NOVI 1000 a few years back and did most of the other mods from gear install to the tuning and chip thats in the car. It has ran a 12.48@112 on a dead stock motor last summer showing 174k on the odometer! :rock:

I detailed the engine bay but he has NEVER driven it on salty roads or winter so it is 100% rust free and goes to show that when taken care of these cars really hold up!!

9lbs, in really cool weather I think it may have hit 10 before. It was 5-6 lbs with the stock pulley, then 7lbs with the powerpipe, and then 9 with the smaller SC pulley.

Before the SC with 3.27 gears (has 3.73 now) it ran a 13.9@101 I think but only a 2.1 60ft. He got a 1.8x with the Nitto's on it now and the SC.

Thanks Tim!! I wish he would keep this damn SC but he is selling it. I really wanted to see how far he could push this stock 175k mile motor! LOL

Maybe he can just get a big ass Vortech next and see what she will do!

Right now, probably either but had me list the SC for sale 1st so maybe he can keep the car. It sucks because I just got done tuning it maybe a few weeks ago!! 14.4-14.6 idle A/F and cruising and a nice 11.5 WOT

Car needs paint but is super clean...in and out and we did all new suspension, tierods, front control arms, low mile T-5, aluminum driveshaft, new rims/tires.
