I'm assuming this is an EM 427 body with the 289 in it? I wasn't aware EM makes a 289 body style.
Keeping in mind the EM's are relatively heavy compared to most kits, I would be surpised to see under 5 second 0-60 times with that drivetrain. Nothing wrong with the 289, just not the optimum set up for speed at that build level, IMHO.
