Thank you. Yeah 40 year old interiors don't cut it for me...
Dunno yet... last time I ran I did it with my 289 which was worn out... got a 15.8.
Using desktop dyno and a bunch of other convertors online my next 1/4 mile times should be in the 13's. But I'm not the greatest 1/4 driver so I'd be happy with low 14's.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.
The huge gap in the middle is indeed to increase airflow, and Shelby mustangs did indeed need that big of an opening back in the day. I never had cooling issues but wanted to put the GT-350 apron on it anyway 'cause I always thought it made the mustang look mean and different for the street (notice no front license plate, *looks around for kojak*)

There's an R-model that Shelby made for SCCA racing. The mustangs came with lil postage stamp radiators and had trouble with overheating, especially after he dropped 450hp engines into them.
But don't worry, my apron isn't completely rice... the two lil holes to either side of the gaping mouth are ducts that run to my disc brakes, which cool them. I actually noticed a difference and was able to rest my hand on my calipers for a long time after running it hard.
