I finally got around to strappin her to the dyno. Its a typical GT40, E303, explorer intake combo with 4:10's. Im very happy with the results. Best run of 280.14hp and 307.8 ft lbs! I feel like Im getting just about everything out of her!

yea I ran it last year right after we got the wide opens a/f set. We ran out of time to finish up the driveability so it likes to surge and search for an idle but I cracked off a couple 12.9's and two 12.8. Best run of 12.83@107. Thats with a my headgaskets leakin a bit too. Jus gotta save for new slicks and head back this year to search for some 12.70's. We'll see.
 
Nice! my white 90 has a similar set up.

GT 40's
E cam
1.6's
GT 40 intake

Do you have 19's?

Fuel pressure?
What octane fuel?

thanks and nice ride.

I retract my previous statement of 'Jersey' being the armpit of America. I'm not in love with the wheels or the two tone paint job (although it looks nice) but that engine bay is magical. One of the best I've seen. Oh, and nice numbers.
 
Did I somehow miss the progress thread on this car? It looks great!

Numbers and times sound good too.

I finished the car around last year this time. I stopped taking pics of it cause I just wanted to drive the thing. I still dont have any good pics of her.

What was your A/F during your run? Also did you swap the fuel pump to something larger?

We didn't hook up the wideband on the dyno cause I already know its set right at 12.4-12.7 when we did the tune on the street last fall. An yes, I have a 190lph fuel pump? I think lol I've had it for soooo long so I kinda forget what exactly it is. haha

I'm not angry, (dont wanna sound like im pissed via keyboard) but have you ever been to Jersey? its not like Newark at all. I'm about 25-30 minutes from the PA border and I love this area. Its gorgeous out here and theres always 4 walmarts/shopping centers anywhere you go haha. NYC's a 45 minute drive too! Gotta love it!

An I wanna change my hoses and plug wires to black. I ran out of money last year when I was finishing the car up so the blue hoses and wires are doing the trick.

It did turn out awesome. :nice: The last thing I remember was when you painted the valve covers. I understand just wanting to drive it. My 93 was in Colorado for five years (storage) and I drove my Altima daily, but a part of me still wanted my Fox back home! It is now.

On a side note that is a nice sunset, the only one that I have liked better was when I lived in Arizona.
