question?

93_fox_body · May 17, 2010

im getting ready to drop my 5.0 into my foxbody and im looking into spraying it how much should i spray 75 150 shot etc what do i need to worry about besides bigger injectors and fuel pump and whats better dry or wet oh and it will be daily driven but just want to have the juice just in case i wanna have fun thanks in advance.

just wow. Have you done any research on spraying a motor? Is your motor stock? Are you going to run a tune?

tannerc91gt · May 17, 2010

doing some of your own research will help. those are some of the most common questions.

you dont absolutely need a better fuel system, you can run a small shot (75ish) off of the stock system. most of the companies recommend upgrading pump/injectors if you plan to run more than that. i personally wouldnt run more than a 150 shot on a stock motor IN GOOD CONDITION. Many will say not to spray a motor with hypers (im assuming you have a 93, but its hard to tell as you gave zero info), but ive seen it done many times. A tune doesnt hurt either.

more details would help...

wet/dry is up to you, do some research and decide which is better for you

You more than likely don't need to upgrade the injectors at all.
I ran 100 dry shot on pretty much all stock parts. If you do a search others have even run up to a 150 without modifying the car.

With that said, your comment "just in case i want to have fun", understand nitrous really isn't any fun.
On a street car i'd consider it a complete waste of money.
It's boring and expensive, i'd never consider doing it again.
I'd rather get 25rwhp all the time, than 60rwhp once in a while.
Spend the money elsewhere.

i guess thats a matter of opinion but i completely disagree

I'm curious on what a "tune" entails to you.
Just sounds like a waste of more money to me.

For what it costs to get a nitrous kit, a few extras like warmer, bottle opener and purge, along with the cost to fill a bottle and then tack a dyno tune on to the tab, you are way past what a good set of heads cost.

i got a kit, bottle warmer and all for $200...filled it for $50 and essentially bolted on 150 crank hp....thats a cheap set of heads

First off you got something dirt cheap, $600+ worth of stuff for $200 is not going to be the normal price, i sold my crappy dry kit with no extra's for more than that.
I know people who got aluminum heads for $400, but i wouldn't go around quoting that as a price people should expect to pay.
Second of all, let's not forget that it's $50 to fill each time it's empty, so if you use it often, money adds up quickly.

Need more info...perior

My spray experience is with a carbed motor, but up to a 100 shot should be ok on a 5.0 if it is set up right.

sorry about that guys it is a 93 the motor is from a 90 and im really just trying to find out a good way to make power out of it without turbo or chargers and if i get heads for it what would i have to do the block ? ill be happy with around 320 to 340ish again guys thanks

Nothing needs to be done to the block.
320-340 probably isn't going to happen with just heads or just nitrous.

If you are on a budget find an explorer 5.0 donor engine.
Take the intake, the heads, and add a cam to it.
Should get you around 275rwhp.

^^^
its too late for that explorer motor i already have the 5.0 the add ons would be headers exhaust heads intake manifold tbody and cam and stuff like that around what number would that get me ohh and a tune

That depends entirely on what parts you buy.
It could be as low as 250rwhp or as high as 330rwhp.
Normally the more you spend the more power you get.

im going to go ahead and rebuild teh whole motor to zero miles do any of you guys know any website that takes you step by step on how to rebuild your 5.0 thanks guys

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.
