so one of my buddies friends wants to race me, he has a foxbody 5.0 mustang, as far as i know with heads, cams, full exhaust, and intake.
my mods are 1998 trans am,

slp lid
slp bellow
k&n
flowmaster catback
ported throttlebody
throttlebody bypass
ported MAF
3.73s
free ram air
EGR mod
hypertech III
shiftkit

is there any chance for me and is there anything i could do before the race to help me a little

 

Depends on his h/c/i setup, and what gear he's running. It could be anywhere from a really mild 250rwhp to a wild 450rwhp car.

 

Need more info on teh Fox....but if it's a 'basic' HCI car, then you should have no problem pending dig, roll, his gears, and hatch vs. notch.

and......WTF is a ported MAF?

 

i think he will take you alla round unless hes an auto. You might get him from a dig but i think hell come around you. You figure hes low 3k's weight plus around 300rwhp(guess)....and you really dont have many solid mods(long tubes, converter)

 

ive heard from other people its not a real aggressive cam, pretty mild. only thing i know thats raced him is a buddies 03 GT that only has catback, intake and 3.73s he got beat pretty good.

 

Like they said above it's almost 100% dependant on what his specific setup is (assuming he's a good driver). If you just want to have the best chance possible then get some drag radials, do a solid burnout, and then run him from a dig. Personally, I always like doing a couple digs and a couple rolls to see how the cars stack up.

If he really does have a mild setup, then you should have a good chance as he is probably in the 250-270 rwhp range. Of course, 270 rwhp in a light *** notch is still going to be a strong runner, so...

 

Can the guy drive?

I have a good friend that had a 5.0 fox body and he had the motor punched .030" over with all forged internals, good cam can't remember the exact specs but was .5xx lift 23x duration, cobra intake, aluminum heads (cant remember the specifics) and stock gears.

He ran a 13.1 best time with slicks all N/A so I'm thinking you have a good chance of beating him.

O and my buddy couldn't drive stick so that was the main reason why he couldn't break 13's, and on the third run he blew the posi to pieces.

 

The fox or the NE got beat?

and again, what is a ported MAF?

+73000

 

if he got beat by an 03 you better win or go crawl under a rock

 

what he^^^^ said. and ported MAF is the mass airflow meter you port the housing

 

i ment the 03 GT got beat sorry for the confusin, and yeah from what i hear he can drive.

 

At a minimum get a 3600 stall and some drag radials.

 

Guess I'm EXTREMELY ignorant to Fbod MAF setups.

 

This should give you an idea.

leave it alone until you get longtubes, ditch the flowmaster, and/or get a stall

 

Thanks man.....learn somethin' new every day.


Mustang MAF housing's aren't like the Fbod factory one's at all.
