make my fox fast

[{BADASS}92]

i have about 2500-3000 that i want to put into my engine, shood i get a kit or do some of you no a personal setup that you know about of have tried that will work for me. i want power and reliabilty cause it will be a DD. thanks.

[suddenblink]

you should get 3.73's, some sticky tires, a shifter, exhaust, intake, and heads and cam if you have any left over

[{BADASS}92]

well i have 373, madpipe, and cat, cai, and my headers pullies and spark plug wires are in my room. im just looking for a complete setup. to make me go fast lol.

[suddenblink]

oh well get a H/C/I setup. AFR heads are the best for 5.0L, I'd get a Holley or Edelbrock intake, and get a cam that suits your style

[{BADASS}92]

sorry wats h/c/i

[suddenblink]

Head / Cam / Intake

[{BADASS}92]

o ok well i after that i would need injectors MAF and TB right? im just not sure wat size to get. 75mm tb and 80mm MAF maybe wat about injectors.

[{BADASS}92]

and wat exactly do roller rockers and lifters do sorry i am not very good with this stuff

[suddenblink]

I'm not sure about which to go to, I'll wait for Pete to answer that, I usually have to ask when it comes to fuel delivery, it's very important and bad advice can mess stuff up

[suddenblink]

those get the most out of your cam if they are a bigger ratio, also if they are rollers they produce less friction and heat. They give substantial gains when you have a cam, about 10hp

[{BADASS}92]

thanks id rather get good advice let me know when u find out. thanks man

[suddenblink]

well they will post in here dude hahaha

[yiot75]

honestly for a fox non of that helps. may i suggest goodyear 235 r 17's in the back putting back your stock exhaust and throwing a 232 v6 in there. that will wake her up drastically

[suddenblink]

I was aboot to say 235's :hysterica I must be an idiot for running 275's

[trevorD.]

a trickflow stage2 kit sounds nice to me

[EXKB2000GT]

that's what i would recommend...the trickflow kit or the holley systemax kit. you get matched components and takes some of the guess work out of it

[speeddemon40]

afr 165s, holley systemax 2 intake, TFS stage 2 cam, 70mm tb, 24lb injectors and matching 75mm MAF, adjustable fuel pressure regulator

[EXKB2000GT]

or you can get the custom speeddemon40 kit. i haven't seen them advertised anywhere yet, but i'm sure you can find one if you look around a litte bit

[Pete]

Speeddemon40 knows what he is talking about so it would be good to listen to him (considering his old coupe made almost 400rwhp out of a 331).
Where I'd differ from his recommendation is on the cam since you pistons aren't notched for such a large cam. I'd go with AFR 165's and Edelbrock rpm2 intake, TFS stage 1 cam with 1.7 roller rockers and a 70mm TB, 75 MAF, 24 injectors and adjustable regulator. Oh and a 255 fuel pump if you don't already have one. That combo will make 315rwhp on a stick 302 or around 280 on an auto.

stage 2 will clear stock pistons with 1.6s and a 1.90 intake valve.

[speeddemon40]

oh yeah... good call on the 255 pump

[Pete]

stage 2 will clear stock pistons with 1.6s and a 1.90 intake valve.
I stand corrected; always used to using 1.7's but after checking the lift of the stage 2 again I see you are right.
Guess I think people are like me and running the stage 2 and 1.7 rockers. Makes a lot of lift then.

We were reffering to not only injected combos but streetable 302 combos. Your carbed car is no 302.

lol....i know pete, i was just being a smartass.

[Fivepointohhhh]

i would go with the trickflow kit, its a damn good kit, but you might wanna upgrade fuel system with it, but watch the tranny it might not last too long with the kit

[Pete]

The only reason I avoid a lot of TFS items is due to finding excessive amounts of casting flash in their intakes and heads (know of one motor taken out by a TFS intake dropping casting flash into engine). They may have the issue fixed by now but it just left me with a bad feeling towards their products.

That and going with an offset 2.02 valve head puts a huge limit on the size cam you can go with. With stock pistons anyway

Holly crabs, 3 NOS?????????

yeaa i heard that too, i was talkin to some guy on another forum and a piece of casting in his tf intake blew his whole motor, pretty scary. but i bought a trickflow intake for my older stang and it looked fine.
