Re: What do i need to beat this Foxbody
Yep as the others have said, if he has heads, then he is prob a 11 sec car.
Get that 355 built and bolt on the bottle. Race him from a dead stop, hit the juice in 2nd gear and watch him fade away, unless he has tricks up his sleeve too.

The 306 in my post runs 11.14-11.16 on 9" Hoosiers and a C-4 1.56-60'no trans brake.Not saying his will but it "should" be capable of close to those times at least mid 11's

Re: What do i need to beat this Foxbody
i cant see anyway possible with what he has that he`s only pushing 280hp.
but mustangs are very easy to make fast. i had one with only bolt on`s and a gear that went 13.60.
maybe he`s showing u someone elses dyno sheet just to get you to race him and loose who knows. another thing, a car built like that will run the best in the 1/4 and from a dead stop, if your basing "messing around in town" from a roll and he`s not beating u all that bad he might from a dead dig.
what kinda tire is he running? i`ll tell ya, a foxbody with 4cylinder rear springs, and some slicks will hook up quit well.
also, u said it`s lowered, well the eibach drag launch kit also lowers the car about an 1" or so. maybe he has that on there.

My son and I built one.It had 116,000 mile short block (stock no rebuild),iron GT-40 heads a cam and ported stock intake,stock TB,4.10's and a Tremec and would run 12.70-12.71 all day long(100* heat) with a 1.69 60'.
I'm just trying to stop ya from getting snookered.

It is loud as hell and pretty quick. I haven't been to the track yet, and I am waiting to have it dyno-tuned to take it. It was conservatively tuned by JD's Performance and makes 288RWHP and 323RWTQ.
i have 135K on my car now with mods in sig except the 4:11's which are going in next week. We race and i beat him off the line for the most part then his topend kicks in and passes me with no problem.At this point i dont think there is much hope with the miles on my car because that rules out H/C.
So i am thinking building a forged 355 with LE1/2 heads(not sure yet) and a cam in between cc305/306, i would just have llyod custom make one. ANyways he has no times at the track yet, but if any of you are fimilar with stangs and the mods he has done...what do i need to do to compare. i think with the rebuild and some nice heads/cam/Lt's i shouldnt have any problems with him...
