thanks dude. im putting up a bunch of post because im fasinated with being able to to ask these questions with people who have done it and actually know what happens. anyways thats a good time you ran i think. correct me if im wrong but i think the fact that you have an lx helps with your time. any other mods to it? everything else on my car is factory. suspension is factory. tb is factory mass is factory. i guess my other question is what supporting mods should i get that wouldnt break my budget build? thanks for your replys oh and any thoughts on what the nitrous would give me?Are you asking if 14.2 is a good time or are you saying that's what you ran? Like I said in your other thread I have a similar combo. I ran 13.6 @ 102 so far for my best time. So I would think you would be closer to that.
thanks for the input but with all do respect i know how to drive a 5.0. i drive the car all day as hard as i can. i want it to break so i know the limits of the car. it wont break. the car would run 13s for sur but i had too much tire front and rear. sorry to be blunt but im trying to give you a better picture.Considering the fact that a fox would run 14's stock with a good driver Id say you need some practice. you got a decent head/intake combo and slicks thats a good start thats gotta be good for 13's easy. with the juice low 13's. Id say get some subframe connectors torque box braces and some 1.7 roller rockers with the stock cam.
My car should be faster also, but it is the first 60 ft that you either make it or break it.. My fastest et was actually on street tires and a stock motor..after I put the gt40p heads on my mph went up 3 mph so far but no better et's.. I am beginning to wonder if I have the valves adjusted properly.. I just bought a set of crane valve springs to replace the stock explorer ones. They could be causing trouble too since I have 1.7 rr's on it
I'm wondering what you're running for maf and TB. I saw HEADS and EXPLODER intake and nothing else... not even a mention of a shifter. You shouldn't be running down the strip with any more than 5 gal of gas in the tank either. Did you disconnect the front sway bar before you lined up? Has your battery been moved? Spare tire?
I may be wrong but it sounds like you just popped your cherry down at the race track so 12.25 with none of the, "tricks" to me.... isn't bad at all.
not sure i agree with this. i havent tried it with the LX since i only have 4 hits on it. but the lightning had issues running under a 1/4 tank it would pull all the fuel away from the pump and it would hiccup. all my passes in the LX have been around a half tank

Maf is 94-95 gt .. Tb is explorer..all my stuff should be in my sig.. I didn't run a 12.25, you must have read it wrong. My fastest was a 13.6 at 102 or 103..sway bar is removed.. I run it the way I run it on the street.I'm wondering what you're running for maf and TB. I saw HEADS and EXPLODER intake and nothing else... not even a mention of a shifter.

Every time I've been to the track I've ran with just a sliver of gas left on the fuel gauge. No hiccups.
ooh ok, no prob...Oooops... that was a typo. I meant to type 14.25 and it was directed at the OP.
