You think you will be slow, try a stock 302 with a 5 speed in a fox body. My car is being set up to fun in the factory stock class in the NMRA

How many turbos can we run on a four cylinder mustang????

James, NMRA F/S is more expensive than Centerville EFI... I've been there.

We could put 4 or 5 turbos on a 4cylinder mustang... LOL
