    Why do people cut drag springs??

    I could understand that. Eibachs aren't made to be cut though. I think the idea is to have the front CG (center of grav.) slightly higher then the rear CG so the momentus "weight" transfer goes from high to low as to "push" the rear tires to the pavement.

    Why do people cut drag springs??

    I got the eibach drag springs. Spent an entire hell of a weekend installing them. It sits high and might sit higher after aluminum heads but that's fine for me. It's all about weight transfer. Here's why I don't get it. If people want that "street" look, why get drag springs and then cut the...

    A good rear assy?

    I still have a full 7.5 rear. I want to upgrade to something that will handle slicks, 4k launches and about 350rwhp. I have a full drag suspension so it WILL hook and I think things WILL break. My spending limit is $700.

    Adding a dry kit...

    With an HCI combo what do you do with your timing and a/f ratio when adding say a 125shot. I would GUESS retarding a few degrees and then try to run just a little rich. Is this correct for as far as STARTING to tune a nitrous motor? Anthony

    High expectations???

    Thanks guys. i'm replacing EVERYTHING, nothing will be stock. So the stuff about the clutch, shifter, etc. isn't a problem. Of course this combo is probably about 9 months worth of $ away. I'll keep everyone posted. I'm going with performer heads by the way and porting the exhaust side. I'm...

    My Big Block Fox Finished Product...56k Warning

    what can I get a 460 off of lol? Not for anytime soon, my project is still a year from completion lol. Maybe I'll go for a notch with a 460 and a blower on top :) Definately an auto tranny and a detroit locker with some slicks. Low 10s anyone?

    Widest 15" rear tire possible on a Fox Body

    I got 275s. trust me. It's the max before modding. And your tires like to get up close and personal with tailpipes and wheel wells.

    Best electric fan for a n/a 302?

    I just put a $10 Wal Mart box fan in front of my engine and I just use really long extension cord when I go down the road. When I get to my destination I unplug it and reel in the extension cord for a few days. It usually adds 40-60hp depending on the dyno... Anthony

    What do I need to get into the 10's?

    that pretty much sums it up right there lol. Weight loss always helps too but I would have to agree (not from experience tough :( ) Nothing IMO will get u there without an awesome launch and enough power to rip you down the track. Or you can think about it this way... All I gotta to is get from...

    paint on my 87 mustang gt

    HE'S SAYS IT'S MEXICAN MAN!!!!!! God damn, get those nasty F-ING fender flares off. There's times when different/unique adds a nice touch to something... This isn't one of them. Neither are 20" wheels, Cobra R SVO hoods, Altezzas, cutting tailpipe holes for GT bumper, etc...

    High expectations???

    Sorry DMAN but you must have REALLY REALLY skimmed my post at lightning speed. Upgraded my CARBURETED MAF? Performer heads are on the way... And I don't trust myself with more gear just because I really don't lol. And I don't see how my car is NEAR STOCK? That's an insult lol. Here's how near...

    High expectations???

    I already have most of that combo and I don't trust myself yet with more gear to be honest. It breathes really well with the cam in there IMO, but I've never really experimented with anything else. I also have 1.7 rockers so my engine doesn't seem to have a breathing problem. But I do think...

    High expectations???

    BTW I don't think that's to too bad a list while only being 19 and making $7.50 an hour. It did help that I got my POS for 1,200 :)

    High expectations???

    My friends seem to think it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to EVER run 11.999 or lower without stroking/forced induction etc. Needless to say, I think it's very possible. I'm doing everything I can for weightloss. I'm building up up a strong HCI combo (only need the heads lol) and aiming for 350 horse...

    Rich, similer to synned

    Oh yeah and I'm thinkin the richness is causing the troubled startups. Get that thing tuned! I have never used one of those programmer chip things that everyone on here seems to know about (I'm a carb guy) maybe one of those will fix u up.
