    keeping the fox

    The '11 being better in the following ways: Much newer chassis that handles light years ahead on the skid pad Much tighter chassis than even a caged/braced/tied Fox Notch could dream of As far as safety is concerned...there's no comparison VVT offers 400hp and 30 mpg on the...

    Finally Got Tuned

    I wouldn't worry about the heads...165's are good heads. Throw an S-trim on there for a quick 50 rwhp gain.

    UPR product failures after 500 miles

    I'm thinking that UPR should offer a "group buy" on their new and improved smog pump and or A/C elim kits. The only thing that I would ask is that the main attaching bolt be of a grade 8 or class 10.9 (metric) hardness. It currently looks to be grade 5.

    UPR product failures after 500 miles

    I run their quick release quadrant and extreme firewall adj, but that's all. When it came time for a CAI for my Vortech, I ponied up the cash for an Anderson all aluminum unit.

    85-86 Foxbody values?

    If you want a Fox as a collector, you have to find one with 30G or less miles in unmolested original condition with all of the vehicle history and......sleep on it for 20 years. You'd have to ask yourself this...If you invested that same amount...say 9G; what would that be worth in 20 years...

    how much radiator do I really need???

    I've read the study that Copper offers better dissipation over aluminum, yet Ford Racing, in their catalogue, advertises the the two row aluminum to be better than the three core copper. :shrug: I just ordered the FMS unit. 1979-93 Mustang 5.0L/5.8L Ford Racing Aluminum Radiator, M-8005-C...

    Interesting article in MM&FF this month

    Thinking in terms of a 2v 4.6, it seems that just about every mod takes from the bottom and adds to the top...solution is to regear. I'm impressed that WOT hasn't given up anything down low on this pushrod set up, but I would still like to see a test on 1/4 power. 1/4 throttle certainly...

    Soon new cars are going to be the most brain numbing experience ever

    Time to sell the '88; she's just not safe anymore. I guess I must be ranked as a real nutter because I prefer to be on my motorcycle over anything else...only protection I have is the armor I'm wearing.

    Interesting article in MM&FF this month

    My only argument may be that the the air "may have become" lazy around town in part throttle situations running bigger heads. Resulting in an engine that doesn't as frisky around town as one has come to expect with VVT.:shrug:

    New Winter Rubber

    Where abouts are you friend? The only thing I'd recommend is to have her washed at a car wash, especially undercarriage, once a week throughout the winter.

    my 2011GT dyno

    That's very respectable, my old pushrod 5.0 is only making ...well you can see my sig, but that's at 12lbs, not NA.
