Default Turbo foxbody

Does anybody have a 5sec 1/8 mile foxbody using a 4.8-6.0 with a turbo. I'm thinking about it but I want it to be street able and run in the 5's

Iron block, midframe turbo, th400 and a cage, should be able to weigh under 3300lbs. 5's and street driven i dont see a problem. Quite a few turbo ls fox guys in here in the 5s

Like Bad6as said. It should not be an issue at all to run high 5's in a turbo fox with the weight mentioned. I'd say you'd need 750 - 800RWHP and a good set-up. But I'm bad at bench racing, so I could be way off.

My nearly 4,000lb mostly stock, daily driver has run several 6.04 passes on Junk yard 5.3/6.0 and chinese turbos. I think it should be fairly simple since the weight isnt too bad.

Wont be hard at all to accomplish 5s in the 1/8th. Start by getting her in a diet!

Lots of success stories on here of people doing it. However it seems as if you are attempting it in something other than a fox, no matter the weight, people don't seem to think it possible. It seems mustangs defy the laws of physics lol
