ok i just got a few texts from my bro in law, he says he has a guy waiting for me to get my car all buttoned up, and he wants to be the first to run me. i dont know all his mods, but so far i know he has a fox with a stroked 5.0, and spray. from what i hear, he runs pretty good. and i haven't been to the track to practice. i really don't mind losing, but i am gonna do everything i can to not lose. my specs are in my sig, and i will be on some meaty DR's. with spray. most likely a 150 shot. i know foxes are light, and if he has a stroker, then its probably built to hold a decent shot, same as me, but i have more cubes, and probably better flowing heads. well it will be fun no matter what, cant hardly wait.

Yeah, I think you'll take him.

I'd be surprised if he has a chance with you shottin' a pill at yours, but need more info on the fox to really know.

yeah, I'm just getting the info 2nd hand myself, so i guess I'll just have to see. and i don't really want to do much racing this winter anyway.

The odds are heavily in your favor, if your car doesn't have mechanical issues.

I'd definitely shake it down before I stepped up to him.

ok, the guy is saying that he wants to also run at least one race with both of us on motor. I'm thinking that's the one i will barely break a sweat on. of course mine hasn't been dyno'd, but looking at other builds with the same setup, they usually put down close to 500whp. i have trouble seeing even a stroked 5.0 doing that. but then again i don't want to get all puffed up and have him drag my *** down the street.
Pony since your a stang guy, what could he have under the hood that i should worry about. besides a supercharger, which no one has said anything about, so i don't think he is FI

Is it the same fox you raced on the way home the one day?

the jester 812

i sure hope not, i gave him all he could handle with what 3 or 4 people in my car, while he was spraying, and i had a cracked spark plug and a shitty tune with my ls1. theres no way that guy ran 11's. no there's at least 3 or 4 other fox-bodys around here that race, and one is a county cop. he has burn out marks all u and down the street in front of his house and he has at least 2 foxes i know of.

well the camaro's at the shop they say it will be done in 2 weeks, and they say the last 408 they built with stock l92 heads and a smaller cam than mine put down 485whp, so I'm crossing my fingers to see 500whp. i don't see a fox giving me trouble unless 1) he sprays the ***** off his car, or 2) he has some kinda serious cash spent on parts i don't know about. or i guess 3) i cant drive worth a ****

^^^^^ I think itll be number 3 LOL jkjk. You should let me have a shot at him first then if hes worthy run you lol

Jester, that fox could be a high compression 347 w/ a 200 shot sitting in a 2700lb car. Granted he won't put down the same numbers n/a as you but he could possibly be close to 1000lbs lighter than you.

How much does your car weigh?

I want to know how you fit an L76 intake on your car

the jester 812

iTrader: (5)

i havent yet, but i have it sitting beside the engine and it looks very similar to a ls1-ls6 intake except it has that special cover. what do you mean, its not the truck intake......

the jester 812

iTrader: (5)

i havent had my car weighed, but im sure its not light, its T-topped and leather, and 12bolt, now with an iron block. probably 37-3800 with me in it. i agree, there's a reason these guys are confident, i just wont know till i get my car ready, and noone wants to talk, so getting info about these foxes is like pulling teeth. i have ran one around here before, like koon was talking about, him me, and one other guy were in my car when it was not 100% and i was slowly walking away, while he sprayed but i had the notorious trouble getting into 4th problem, and he shot past when i missed it. and i was cam, full exhaust, and 243 heads. but i do agree, built foxes are no joke.

Oh, I thought it was the truck intake. My bad

All I was picturing in my mind was this

This..............
Get your car tuned and 'broken' in. He could have a lot of different setups so I'd ask around about it if you can.

anywhere from a measely 302 E303 cam to a nice 347 setup like Mark mentioned.

I have found that the guys with a big mouth usually end up having a slow car. Its the ones that play down their car or say "it does aight" are the ones I always watch out for.
