    To hell with the 4:10 gears on my daily driver?

    Yea, cause Ford is CLEARLY the sharpest tool in the shed. There's no way you could ever improve on their design :rlaugh: Sometimes I wonder if monkeys built these cars...But then I realise how insulting that is to the poor monkeys. My speedo was dead on with my gps back when I had the 26" tires...

    Sounds like a pretty good plan. Make it at least 10:1, AFRs, a Systemax and a custom cam and it will easily be over 300rwhp on motor. Spray it with 150, 200 if your kit can. I agree with the others though that topend on a 351 would be even better. Then spray it with 300.

    Maybe you need to beat on it more :shrug:

    Slow fox or just me?

    Brian I know exactly what you mean. My car isn't as fast as yours, but every time I drive or ride in another stocker it's just painfully slow. Mine has Long tubes, o/r x, junk flows, 3.55s and a few other little things. It's just a low mileage strong running speed density car. I drive it around...

    To hell with the 4:10 gears on my daily driver?

    That is exactly what's wrong with it. It's about as heavy as a bridge (a very large bridge) and it's an AOD. My bolt-on '88 LX with 3.55s and a 5 spd gets 17-18 around town hammering on it pretty often, and the one highway trip I've done it got 28, and I definitely could have milked more out of...

    Turbo Cars

    What he said. Easy low 9 sec car, maybe even high 8s if you're brave with the boost level. Flows can go in the garbage, that's worth 50+ rwhp on a turbo car. Just like Bentley said, use a race bullet or preferably nothing. Another thing that will likely end up trash is the c4. Turbo cars tend to...

    To hell with the 4:10 gears on my daily driver?

    Not enough to be worth it. Set the timing at 10* and run 87 octane if you don't already.

    You don't need any of that stuff anyway. The stock pistons are forged, and the stock crank and rods are stronger than the block. The factory rotating assembly will long outlive the block. If you plan on pushing the limits of the stock block (450-500rwhp on spray), then any money spent in the...

    Option 3 with a 150 shot. You can only go so fast with a stock block, so why waste extra money doing it? I wouldn't spend a penny more than you have to on the rotating assembly in a stock block.

    Ever wonder if your car has bad juju?

    Exactly what I was going to say. I have no idea what juju means, but that is a very nice hiney.

    new wheels

    Looks a million times better with welds. But why do you say they're not very streetable??

    goodbye 5.0 its been fun

    Just my opinion. I would much rather break an axle on a 3 or 4 lane wide highway with room to recover or spin into the grass rather than stuff my car into a concrete wall at the track. When I think of street racing it's on a wide highway in the middle of the night with no one around. When you...

    goodbye 5.0 its been fun

    :Word: There used to be threads posted by a certain member on a weekly basis with a compilation of street races. They were not frowned upon, and everyone enjoyed them and looked forward to them. The pussification of America has taken over StangNet and Mustang owners. Sad to hear about the...

    How much spray or what form of boost?? 137mph in a vert is north of 600rwhp. Got any pics?

    GT 5.0 Bored .30 Over and Car Built. Whats your HP Guess???

    19* total timing?? With 8:1 compression it should take well into the 30s. Yea, you want to be a little conservative with those pistons, but I would at least go to 10 or 12 psi and some more timing. There's no reason it shouldn't make close to 500.

    Last drive of the year - boom! T-5 salad!

    95% of the time 3rd gear is what breaks in a t5. You clearly broke 3rd gear. Soooo, you attempt to get it back into 3rd, succeed, and then drive it home in 3rd... :bang: Oh, have fun with the girlomatic. An auto is only faster than a bad driver. :nice: And they shift like butter. I...

    New Track Bests for two cars!

    Brian I think you at least broke a 60ft record. I've never heard of anything like that.

    What to launch the fox at?

    Mine lasted one rev limiter launch and broke an axle with a stock motor. I think you should try it anyway though since it's not my car and carnage is sick.

    Finally got my car tuned

    Nice numbers for a stock short block. Put a set of long tubes and an o/r x on it.

    408 Stroker

    Twisty mountain roads 6" away from a guardrail is a very good place to film a 408 on street tires.
