should be able to. The 1st gen is lighter!

Depends on the model of the 2nd gen, is it a TII?

So your only mods are CF drive shaft? If you dont have headers it will be close, I would think?

well, to put in perspective... last time i was at the drag strip i ran on average 10.60... full interior, just have the exhaust done. there was a 86-87 2nd gen stripped to the CORE, as in nothing but the driver's seat and windshield... no hood, no hatch, windows, door handles, nothing.. and he ran 10.70.. so you should be alright. =)

I just though I would ask nicely, Just not sure why you would get a new diveshaft instead of say a Streep Port job.

Gotta be 1/8th mile. I think I'm running 10.00 but with minor SP, and full SP exhaust. Can't wait to try it with the holley setup, should run 14.xx in the quarter.
