PASS TIME!! 
Ok just for entertainment!  well curiosity as well! 
Heres my latest turboford build! 1984 tbird (302 AOD 7.5 rear car) it now has a 1986 turbo coupe 2.3T, motor is bone stock with factory slidr cam, but kind of gone through (bearings, gaskets, lap valves, new springs and valve seals) open 3" down pipe , Gillis valve, K&N cone filter, stock T3 @ 15# boost, no inter cooler, mildly ported E6, stock v8 EFI pump and factory FPR for now 3.73 8.8 ,fresh C4 with pinto converter and shift kit, LA3, brown tops, big Vam, 8x26x16 Hoosiers,87 snow flake wheels, front sway bar removed, full weight street car no gutting! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK IT WILL RUN? 15.00?

That's a pretty good guess, Fred....... I wuz gonna say, "somewhere between 14.9 & 15.2!"  Traction will be a major factor! BTW ~ If you were to raise the boost to, say, 20-ish....... it might run 14.5-ish. Just make sure you're running the highest octane gas available, possibly with an octane booster.  <shrug> Report back with the results! 

GOOD LUCK! <thumbup>

agreed Ray! still putting some parts together for the fuel system so i can (more safely ) turn the boost up to 18-19 psi ! it runs and drives right now with 5 lbs and it kind of smokes like maybe this old T3 is no good but it could just need some miles to get everything hot and blown out! lol ill keep you posted if i get it finished this season but it will be tested and ill let you know!

I am going with 14.5 in the quarter
