Default Procharged Fox

Tonight me and my cousin both had are car's out, and we decided to mess around again. Last time we did I pulled on him up top but his car was way out of tune and leaning out VERY bad.

His fox is T56 swapped, 4.11 gear,Cam(E or B cam he's told me and I forget),Edelbrock Intake, D1SC Procharger pushing 16-17 PSI, Headers. He's also on street tires.

Anyways we did a couple run's tonight just for fun,

First run, 40 punch:

I win due to his no traction

second run,60 punch:
(No Video)
He jumps out on me and slowly starts pulling until the top of 5th where I have RPM on him.


VERY Close race, next Spring when he's on tire were gonna run again....but I believe the BeaSSt is now in Hibernation for the winter

He run's street tires 90% of the time, and all he has done it what I listed.... gotta give it to those Factory Forged 302's they do take some abuse.

Oh the motor that's in it has about 140K on it.....

no **** ive seen stock 5.0's running 200 shots time and time again. little bastards do some some abuse and can run pretty damn good with the right stuff. but im guessing 140k miles and 16psi, its def a matter of time.

Yup stock Longblock besides the Cam. He has some Trickflows he had on the car before but that motor Grenaded. Hopefully we can re run with his new built motor and me on the spray.

Actually you guys are very wrong. They cannot take much abuse at all. Around 500rwhp they will split the block in half.

Fortunately they have never hit that number. My brother and I learned that the hard way in the early 90's. That thing split down the middle like a damn egg. Expensive lesson. I also raced my LT1 TA against a ton of bottle fed foxes when I lived in Colorado they always were grenading engines from too much juice, these were big shot cars. Once the block is properly reinforced they can be nasty.

Except you can get the bastards for 150-200 bucks at a junkyard. A guy I knew would do this, strap a 200 shot on it and spray it til it blows. And when it did blow, he just went back to the junkyard and got another.

I would have liked to run your car before I sold mine. You should get a set of heads on your car before the nitrous. Who tuned your car by the way???

Good races!

When I graduate I'm getting a notchback and doing some sort of 351W-based motor (393 or 408?)... looking for a 10/11s manual-transmission street/strip car. I'm thinking h/c/i and then maybe a 100 shot to spice it up?

I'm planning on a low 10 second 6 speed car N/A and then a 150-200 Zex plate shot.

Very nice numbers! You'll have to let us know how it does on the drag setup!
