Hey guys,
Kind of new here but have been lurking for a long time. I have a 88 fox and have a question. I've looked around but haven't found any good answers and there is a thread on this already please point me in the right direction. Wondering about how much weight I could lose on my fox. I haven't officially weighed my car but im right at 190 pounds. I will go to a scrap yard before I start doing weight mods to get the official weight. My car is mainly a street strip car and not a DD whatsoever and im also gutting the interior like the rear seats, carpet, spare tire and jack, switching out front seats, taking out stereo, AC, HEAT, Interior panels, dash swap, possibly head liner. I also in the future want to do a carbon fiber/fiber glass hood, fenders. hatch. Possibly do a Lexan swap on the hatch. Lighter springs, lighten up the exhaust, do skinnies and drag wheels. My car is swapped with a 5.3 ls motor with spray. (don't hate please lol). I've always liked the look of foxes and the weight of them is a added bonus. With all of this done what should I be looking at? and is there anything else im missing. Im looking at around 420-450 hp never been dyno official though. also running a th400 if that helps. And a 15 pound bottle with heater and all the goodies.
