Im a 5.0 nut, had 3 drag cars and 1 street car. built a high compression 306 that went 11.40@118 and a SSO car that went 8.42@173. Built a DD 89 GT 5speed with 4.30's. My 87GT went 13.48@100.38, perfect run for a street car if you do the math and know drag racing.

I'd say i know a little about the fox body!!!

I don't own a foxbody anymore. I have an SN95 body, but I help on my friends 88 Gt vert. With the combo thats there now its run a best of 11.26 @ 118. Since he got the dyno we found that its going lean on the top end so we are replacing the fuel system. OMFG at the pump he got. I asked him what it flows. He said he can't remeber if its 800gph or 900 gph. No more running lean for us..

I had an Aeromotive pump that flowed 800 on my SSO car. Sounded like a mini engine when i turned it on with the switch. But it handled 1385hp to the tires that's all i needed
