Contour SVT's run mid to high 14's(exact same 2.5L as mine except the cams). Why would it seem impossible for a Cougar that weighs quite a bit less and has a large amount of computer upgrades and bolt-ons run the same if not a little better?? Very conceivable if you ask me. I didnt understand your remarks on the trap speed, gonna have to speak to me like a 15 year old i geuss
