1990 Mustang Coupe AOD

This is the wifes car. Car had 228K miles on it when low oil pressure scared me enough to re-ring/bearing the car. So I purchase a cheapo kit and figure as a daily driver it would be fine.

Car is rebuilt all stock spec. Bearing clearances are on loose side but still within spec.

So the question at hand is Can a 1990 Mustang Coupe 5.0 with a newly fresh STOCK 5.0 and a 100% stock AOD run 13.99s?

Well it isnt 100% stock.

Mods are:

3.73 gears
BBK CAI with the filter in the engine compartment no less LOL
3chamber Flowmasters
13* timing


That is the complete mod list. There is no custom cam changing opening/closing of valves or duration or anything.

Car weighs 3220 without driver.
Track elevation is damn near sea level. Temp around 69*

Car is run with stock suspension and on a set of cheapo 245/50/16 Doral street radials on stock Ponys.

Car ran 14.10@95 with motor less than 150miles old. Im thinking with a bit more miles and some cooler air it will do the 13.

This is 5spd territory with a AOD turd none the less. This car is a freak!

What 60ft are you getting? That will probably be the key since you are so close. Best time I've gotten with my coupe is 14.78 at 92. Still has 2.73 gears though.

Jay, my old 172,000 mile 89 Coupe with stock engine from throttle body to exhaust headers/intake to oil pan, stock aod and converter ran 13.62 @ 97. IMHO, this is STOCK since the engine itself was un-touched, as was the transmission. Stock, untouched maf meter, throttle body, intake, heads, cam, headers, etc...

Mods:
373 gears
BBK CAI
skinnies on the front
20* base ignition timing
off road H pipe
Magnaflow catback
Drag Radials (that I truly did NOT need, lol)

With just the Magnaflow catback, off road pipe, 373's and 10* timing, it went 14.1@97

What I did was kept shifter in "D" and let it shift itself from 1st to 2nd gear, then once it shifted, I pulled back shifter into "L" and upshifted into "D" when the factory tach showed 4500 rpm's...It went 13.6x at 100-101 TWELVE times in a row...LOL...

with my exhaust i went 14.2 with my 5spd... 273 gears as well.

My car run's 12.70's with a stock bottom and, stock cam and iron heads. Bob (rel3rd) ran 12.40's !!!:-D

[rel3rd]

Bob (rel3rd) ran 12.40's !!!:-D

That was after the T5 conversion Joe. I "think" Jay is talking about AOD's. ;)

[DynoJoe]

Even with the aod the car would have still been a 12.50-12.60 car Bob !!! Just thought it made a great point of how an almost stock motor can run ;)

[jayber]

yeah this is a stock everything except what was listed. Even on cheap as I could buy Doral tires LOL..

I just found it odd beings most stock AOD cars here run mid 15s. Guess the car isnt such a freak afterall LOL

[DynoJoe]

That car is quick, there are alot of people out there with stock equiped mustangs on running 14's and 15's congrats on the times.;)

[jayber]

Thanks.
Had a 91 GT AOD car that ran 15.01 best in similiar fashion. Just didnt have gears in it. They make a huge difference though.
I feel the car is fast for what it is in all seriousness.

[jboehm]

what do you think a stock roller motor with a carb would run? 3,300 lb race weight , 3.55 gears, 5 speed.

[DynoJoe]

How did it run ?

[jayber]

havent been back to strip since :(

[DynoJoe]

How long is the track open your way ?

[jayber]

Open year round as long as temp in 40* and above.
Normally the racing ends after Novembers Thanksgiving Shootout and just T&Ting until Feburarys Valentines Monster Motor Shootout starts the new season.

[DynoJoe]

Nice !! Got plenty of time to get out there !!;)

[jayber]

gonna go out tomorrow for T&T. Just bumped the timing to 18* hoping it will give some more low end. No other changes. Ill post up how it does.

[jayber]

Times didnt improve but boy Im getting lethal on tree with this sucka LOL..

[DynoJoe]

Least your havin fun !! That's what it's all about.

[jayber]

fun indeed. going out 31st as they just added they would be open. last chance at the 13.999 as it is.

[OneBad93]

I was stuck at 14.1 for what seemed like forever with some bolt-ons and stock AOD. Removing the swaybar and using a shortbelt while shifting the AOD 1-2-1 FINALLY got me a 13.98.
