nah the maverick wieghs 2900, i wiegh in at about 240 to 250. Fast street car is the goal as far at 0 to 60 times with a build to the 1/4 times. Will keep ya posted, i am dying to get the engine in.


::Be happy with a low 14. There are so many things involved when dealing with 1/4 mile times and speed. You will probably hit about 85mph or so, so you can figure to hit 60 around the 9-10 second area. If you can get traction, assuming you are using street tires, you might, if everything is right hit a 14.0 or a little better. Are you building a drag car or a fast street car?There is alot more to going fast than just having big horsepower. Suspension is VERY important! Also if your mav weighs 3100+ pds. it can go on a diet! If your are building a street&strip car I would suggest buying a set of slicks, you will see a HUGE improvement with that. I am a drag racing NUT! so keep me imformed on how things go.
