I'm in the process of putting my lq4 into my fox body mustang..it's in my 99 lifted z71 right now..question is,it has a comp cam 235/243@112 in it.do you think this cam would perform well in the car,with a t-56?..a little idle vid of the truck!

If its in your truck right now. .and going into a car.. your going from a 5500+ lbs truck to about a 3000 lbs car.. with a good gearing and a Manual trans.. you shouldn't have any problem.. just get it retuned.

Smaller than mine, you will be fine, just make sure you choose wisely on your tuner and get it done right. It pays many times over.

What do you guys think about the stock truck manifold?..just a rough estimate,what kinda times you think I could get with this set
Up?..it's a lq4 0.30 over 10.5:1,with prc stage 2.5 heads..comp ratio should be at 10.8:1.the cam mentioned above..on pump gas,in a full trim 89 gt..thanks for the input guys
