Hi Guys,
A question that may test a few allegiences.... I've also posted this on the "5.0 Talk", but I'm looking for a balanced response. I'm in the UK and have a low miles, '96 Cobra, stock other than being 2 inch lower on eibach springs.... i've just been offered a 1990 Fox LX with a Vortec bolted on... spec is as below, i'd be interested in opinions, how much can the 302 handle with stock internals, can the trans. handle the power? I think they've got T5's in them right? The gear head in me gets a hard on when i hear words like supercharger etc etc and i'm sure I'm not the only one!!! Anyway email is below, opinions please, and thanks in advance:
Best wishes, Saul
Hi Saul,
The car was mostly modified in the States, and although i don't have a dyno sheet, i got the numbers from the paper work that came with the car.. but i can safely say that judging from the other cars i've been around it seems accurate, this is a very quick car.. paper work says 420hp/380lbs torque @4000rpm
Modification are..
Vortech V1 supercharger making 8psi boost
B303 Blower Cam shaft
76mm C&L Mass Air Flow/ 30 lbs injectors to match
67mm EGR spacer
High flow throttle body
JBA adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Hi flow in-tank fuel pump
GT-40 upper and lower Hi flow Intake Manifold
Roller Rockers
TFS Heads
JBA shorty Exhaust headers
Limited slip, 3.55:1 Gears with an LPW Ultimate 8.8 Brace Diff Cover
Hurst Shifter
Transmission is a 5 speed from a 92 mustang as they have stronger internals
Heavy duty Desert Cooler Rad
Eibach Sportline Springs
Mileage is 68000
