There are always tons of parts, project cars, show cars, drag cars, you name it in there for sale. Look and see what you can find in there to compare with what your buddy has.

I found a 9 second Stang in there last Fall for $15k. It was VERY nice, the owner had almost $40k in receipts, and the car looked TOTALLY stock on the outside.

18 psi sounds high, I have known and know alot of stang gurus with some 10 sec rides.

Nice cars, qiuck, cheap, fast. Good bang for the buck.

Find out the specs on his angine and wo built it and tuned it.

Talos there is a Mustang ranch place here close by to where I live at. It is a Junk yard for Mustangs & caprics (the mercury style Mustang). My boss still has that 85 4 banger for sale. so if you guys know anyone that wants it let me know.

8 psi sounds more like it , 18 would be nutty on a 5.0
