It is kind of nuts to think that a small tire Fox body Mustang with a 5.3 and a turbo or two is absolutely capable of running in the 7’s in the quarter nowadays, when this was almost unfathomable just a decade or so ago. It is insane what technology can do, that’s for sure. So when our friends Ryan and Dave decided they were going to pull Dave’s Mustang out for a night of racing fun, to see if they could get it into the 7’s, I was kind of mad I couldn’t go with them. Lucky for all of us, Ryan brought his camera out and is sharing the experience with all of us on his YouTube channel Street Car Chronicles.
Check out the video, and let us know what you think.
Video Description:
Dave put racing on the back burner last year after the B day Race and never looked back. But after a long 389 days Dave decided to do a little maintenance, but and bolt the car and bust it out for some private testing at the Texas Motorplex. It’s no secret that Dave has been on a quest for a 4.90 something for some time now. He’s had it within his grasp and now he’s ready to put this damn thing where it belongs. Oscar is Powered by a rod and piston 5.3 built short block from Ochs Performance a rowdy cam, a decent set of heads and 2 little turbos. Power is not an issue. But we put our had together and find the right shock setting, while Dave find his balls and ramps power in sooner and sooner on each run pushing for that 4.90/7.90 something pass. Will it achieve the goal? Or will it bite too hard, climb the ring gear and bend the front end upon re/entry? Watch and find out.
