How's it going guys!?I'd like to start by saying that I have been reading up about the car to ingest as much information as possible since I bought the car. I know that there are many knowledgeable folks when it comes to the Foxbody platform, and I would like to pick your brains if possible. I purchased an 89 5.0 this weekend, it was built about 3,000 miles ago down at Panhandle Performance in Florida. It has a built motor(not sure of the internals), transmission is built as well, 9 inch rear end, trick flow heads and cam, a paxton supercharger, bigger injectors(i'm unsure of size) and it's running methanol (it doesn't have a charge cooler). First, what oil/weight do you recommend for the S/C motor, I have read that some use 10w 30 in summer and 5w 30 in winter. Also, what spark plugs/gap do you recommend? I have some boosted experience having owned two Mitsubishi Evolutions but i can already see the differences in turbo and s/c cars. Next, what size injectors/fuel pump do you recommend for about 600hp on pump gas? Is running E-85 fuel common? Which charge cooler's do you recommend? I'm sure I have more questions but if you could help out with these i'd greatly appreciate it.
