fox body with a 250hp shot??
just talked to a fella that had a '90ish 5.0 that wanted to run my car for money. i would have taken the bet, but there was 3 of them and no neutral party to hold the dough. he said the motor was stock except for a 250 hp shot. can a stock 302 take a 250 shot?? his car had drag radials on it and the engine sounded pretty tame.
my suspicion is that a) he is bs'ing about have that big of a shot, or b) he is bs'ing about the motor being stock and does have that big of a shot.
your opinions, plz...
oh, my car covers the local 1/8th the same as m6 c5s running street tires.

after talking to a few ppl, it does seem like the rotating assy in this particular car would have been forged from the factory, so with proper tuning a 2-stage 250 hp is probably doable.
just my opinion- i think what he does is bait other cars into racing him by going a short distance with them door-to-door (and of course we all know how slow stock 5.0s are
), then wants to race for money (he said $100- i said "what do i need $100 for?"), then on comes the 2-stage nitrous shot when the money comes out.

My question for you is why you have 36 lb injectors? Do you have a Cam and Heads? You went way to big.

and yes, a cam, headers and possibly nitrous are in store for the future.
