Built Fox Vs. Z28
A buddy of mine has a 5.0 Fox body with a Vortech S-Trim, AFR Heads, cam, and a few bolt-ons. Anyway, a kid at our school has a Z28 and says he will work my friend's fox. He has bolt-ons and DR's possibly cam or spray. Will the Z28 have any chance?? He also wanted to run for pinks which is pretty ricer!

What kind of power is the Mustang making? How much boost? AFR 165 or 185's? stock bottom end?
Lot of variables....it could be making 390rwhp or it could make block spliting power.(450rwhp+)

Mustang probably has 450+ rwhp (I make 488 with inferior GT40 Irons) and the LS1 probably has about the same. I would give it to the Mustang. Blowers are infinitly easier to launch on the street. If your worried about hooking just go with a 28" tall slick, should solve your problems.

I've got the 185s and pushing about 12-13 lbs of boost. Edelbrock RPM II intake, and stock bottom. I'm thinking about around 500hp on my car mayb a little more. Getting it tuned next weekend so we will see how much she really makes.

oh yeah the race for the pinks thing is pretty but I've heard it sitting at a light and it sounds totally stock except for exhaust and little ****. Doesn't have a lopey sound like a cammed LS1 should. The kids an *** and needs a lesson in how to get beat, so I think I'll go ahead and give it to him. Then afterwards do a little with his cash

Yea I would check out the z28, amke sure it isnt cammed and sprayed. If its just a bolt on z28 you will walk him bad so run him and shut him up, that is if your car isnt running bad since its not tuned. How rough does it run and when was the last time it was tuned? If it was never tuned prior to putting the heads, cam, and blower on id be careful racing, dont want to blow your engine. Good luck though and let us know how it turns out!

You meen your parents do? J/k
I just moved FROM Pembroke Pines and all the kids at my school drove nice cars. There were 2 auto ls1 Z28's and EVO, an STi and countless other brand new cars. Just sickens me when i see them, and their knowledge of vehicle craft and performance = 0
