Your response?
actually 7:40's lol
Like Shaun said cam only and its a small cam at that. That was also on the stock 4 cyl suspension and as Shaun has seen, very small tire about a 225 60 15. 100 shot it runs 10's all day. Thats just leaving it in drive and press the gas.
Now would I build one, hard to say as I bought this car this way and it was a great deal. In stock form I believe the LS based motors are a better motor for hp as they repond to cams unreal, unlike the 351's that also need good heads such as P heads or good aftermarket heads. LS1 heads, the older junk castings flow almost 270-280 in stock form and then with some CNC work 243 castings will flow over 300 cfm. Its hard pressed to find a good set of Ford aftermarket heads that will flow over 300 cfm. but when your modifying a motor then I think it would be about the same Ford or Chevy. If I did it again I would like to build a 302 AOD single turbo coupe.
But this is what happens when you have the best platform (Coupe)

The cars just work no matter what you put in them
