Okay, maybe you guys can help me. A friend of mine has an 86 lx coupe 5.0, and my brother told me about this guy he went to school with, that has an ls1 model TA. My friend has a few simple bolt ons like, a CAI, new fresh suspension all around, longtubes, magnapacks out the side, underdrive pulleys, injectors, ignition mods, AOD with shift kit, 3.55's, throttle body, mass air meter, and I think that is all. And as far as I know the TA is stock , and it's an A4. Now, in my opinion, tha TA will walk the 5.0, but some of my buddies seem to disagree. The mustang is fun, but it isn't no 13 sec. car , the G-tech was high 14's, but that was with two 230lb+ guys and a 130lber to, so, what do you guys think? thanks

even with all of his mods he's going to get schooled. From a dig it'll be close for the first 60-70 feet, then as the speeds get higher the 5.0 will just get pulled ridiculously hard.

Those ford autos suck ***** too.

Make sure the guy with the T/A waves goodbye to him.

stall will help marginally, it's still pretty small, and ford autos still suck.

Maybe a very slight jump on the T/A, same results otherwise.
