Default Looking for Mustang swap results with EFI

I've read until my eyes run together, but having trouble finding what I'm looking for. I can find lots of fox bodies getting good results with simple solid combos of carb, intake, cam, MSD 6010, 150 shot, and maybe some head milling.

What I'm wanting to see is the results from a simple setup like those except running EFI. Basically stock motor, with aftermarket cam, LS1/LS6 intake, heads milled (or not), with the same small shot of nitrous. Those seem to be harder to find.

Coming up on 100 views and no replies? That's the problem I'm running into is finding simple EFI combo results. Carb combos are everywhere.

MustangLS is running a pretty much stock setup in a SN95 car with a similar weight to a foxbody. I think I saw LS6 intake and longtubes with big converter running Mid 11.s

Im doin a turbo fox rite now but my brother and I built a simple s10 with a cam only lq4 23x-24x duration,Vic Jr,proform 850,Msd, 4k stall and 3.73s it was 27xx pounds. No spray as he's turboing it now. My cam only ls1 t/a with 150 hit of spray would honesty probably.not pull on it. It was crazy lil truck for how simple it was. Oh by the way it would blow the tires off at 60mph like Nutn . Hope it helps you in your quiestion . It's hard to find simple cheap builds on here. The simplest would be make a stand alone harness for efi and make your stock gauges work (cheapest) or aftermarket gauges

That's a good carb combo, but like I stated in the original post, I'm looking for EFI combo results.

There have been a couple of builds like mine but like you said most don't post up results. Either they keep to the street or never really finish it. There is one guy local to me that went 11.43 @ 121 with an LS1 engine, ported heads, mild cam, headers, ls6 intake with factory EFI and HP tuners.

I am running a bone stock 5.3/4l60e in my 01 Mustang and figure I should be high to mid 12's. No track times yet, hopefully this spring.

You can have a pretty clean engine bay with EFI if you use something like the Holley HP. Just wiring for the essentials. That's how I like it clean and easy to work on.

Sub'n for more results...

Planning a pretty simple build like this myself. Stock 6.0 lq4 w/ 317s in a 90 fox coupe. Planning to stay completely stock down to the exhaust manifolds and run a 2 1/2 x pipe and ls6 intake. Other then that just a stall and 150 wet shot so I'm curious where that would put me

there is a much simpler solution....
figure out what kind of power people are seeing from their combos, relate it to 1/4 mile times based on weight and power.

I found this link a long while back...found it fun to play with... seems to be in the ball park assuming your suspension is set up correctly

http://vexer.com/automotive-tools/1-...MPH-calculator

the key with any setup, is the suspension...
I would be worried less about the motor specifics and more interested in the suspension setup.
if you cant plant the power, then it doesnt matter what motor combo is in it.

not only that, but transmission plays a big part too....
is it a t56? is it a th400?, is it a gllide?... all big differences in ET for the exact same engine combo



be worried less about the engine, start looking at the suspension needed to go fast as the stock rear and suspension doesnt really go very fast... poor Instant center, poor weight transfer, poor anti-squat.

I do agree that all of those are important for sure. I'm just looking for combos/results and they can share all of the details that go with it.

I agree that the rear suspension can be improved on, but there are plenty of cars running pretty fast with a fairly "stock" suspension. Plenty of fox body cars running really good 60' times with something as simple as 90/10's and 4-cyl springs up front along with aftermarket lowers, 50/50's, aftermarket coils and maybe a bag in the rear.

A friend of mine locally running that exact setup with a LS1 (5.7) motor, heads milled, cam, intake, carb, MSD 6010, and a TH350 w/stall. Runs 10.7x on motor and 9.8x on a 150 shot. May not be a 8 second car but plenty fast for most.

What's not selling it for you...
It should be a no brainer to go with the holley ecu...

What can I do to convince you...?
