Im not trying to bench race or anything just have some questions.

I put a 05 5.3/4l60e combo in my 88 lx foxbody.

What kind of times will a stock motor achieve in this platform?

I do have a full tubular front end, full length subframe connectors, adjustable upper and lowers in the rear with 3.73's and a rebuilt limited slip.

The car runs great, very responsive but doesn't feel strong. Doesn't seem to be as fast and it was made out to be.

I don't have a speedo installed yet so maybe I just can't see what it's doing.
To the people who have done this swap, how fast we're you with a stock swap? Before cam/heads ect.?

Put a 150 shot on it and then post....

Was told by local tuner I need to upgrade my fuel lines before going any bigger than 75, using stock fox fuel lines right now but anyways all motor times anyone?

How much power is it making and how much does it weigh?

My 230 rwhp fox at 3040 lb race weight trapped 102-103 mph and was good for low 13s on drag radials and 12.9's on slicks

My 244 rwhp fox at 3040 lb race weight trapped 105-106 mph and was good for high 12s on drag radials

My 424 rwhp fox at 3040 lb race weight trapped 122-123 mph and was good for low 11s on drag radials

All the above was a completely stock suspension and stock fuel lines. I ran 180 rwhp worth of dry nitrous on stock fuel lines and a modified NOS 5171 regulator with no big problems. This was with a 190 walbro intank and a vortech t-rex pusher pump. I don't see 75 hp being a problem on a 320 hp engine. Stock fox fuel fuel lines are ok above SBF block splitting power, which was about 550 rwhp.

I haven't weighed yet and have not tuned yet still on 05 5.3 base map.

I have stock fuel lines right now upgrading later. The car just doesn't feel like its movin at WOT. After I install the gauges I'll tune. Was just curious if this stock set up was capable of making a 12 sec pass the way it is

I would say so, mine has a very small cam and runs 11.3-11.4 consistently at 117-118 mph with a poor 60' time. Get it to the track and post up how you do.

I have been 9.53 at 140 with a 255 intank and stock filter and lines to the front of the car. They will support almost 700 HP NA

I'd love too but with no gauges installed I barely drive it anywhere.

Gauges should be here by Friday-Saturday then I'll take it to be tunes. Going to remove the stock ford inline ford fuel filter as I'm running the corvette one also.

Ill tune on a 75 wet shot. Also have a walbro 255 intank pump

Along with all the suspension work, rebuild LSD and 3.73's Can I be a solid 11 sec car?

This is my first v8 build so I don't know what this car/motor combo is capable of

So running stock lines all the way to corvette filter then steel braded lines to manifold. Is it safe to spray 150 shot on this seat up? Have a 255 in tank pump

I don't use a corvette reg.
I use a fully return system having the regulator after the rails might be better than just a feed to them
