I'm new to foxbodys and coming for a 4cyl civic si. What's mod's would pull a 1987 fox into the 13's, preferably mid 13's. Yes I know the driver plays a big part and I would like to try and do it without slicks if at all possibly. I know some are gonna say search, but I'm just wondering what mods specifically will get me in the 13's.
i have pretty much completely stock motor. only mods are headers, full exhaust, GT40p heads off a 97 mercury mountaineer that i ported and polished and gasket port matched the stock intake manifold. im currently running 13.89 @104 mph. on some bald ass street tires.
I'm going 13.0@104.5 on slicks with your basic GT40, e303, explorer combo. About 2000 bucks into the motor and all the basic supporting mods.
Like people have said- gears, exhaust, and drag radials will easily put you in the 13s. Don't forget to play with your timing advance, too.
Some guys manage 12s without touching the motor, but that is running skinnies up front, weight reduction, CAI+ bigger aftermarket MAF meter, built suspension, pulleys and a short belt, no sway bar, etc.
You may already be aware of this, but you could be a lot faster with a better intake, TB, aftermarket MAF meter, and a decent CAI. GT40P heads are capable of 12s, especially if they've been worked. Running all that stock stuff and that underhood air filter is choking those heads!
