Well she runs better with the nos but running a blower i have heard is kinda a pain a carb!! I just want to do more stuff just don't know what.

 

A buddy of mine was talking about utting a LS1 in my fox!! But I kinda wanna keep the 302 an maybe get pistons,change my cam(not sure what is a good one),and whatever else to get the most noticeable power. Even thought of just pulling my motor out to see all I have/don't or need to up grade. I just don't know.haha

 

Hell even thought of just selling everything and and start from scratch!! Who knows

 

just talk to big frank about the whole turbo with carb setup he has a really nice blow through set up and as far as i know if extremely reliable and runs excellent and pushes around 10 lbs with not trouble at all I haven t seen frank around but he has a 4 eyes fox coupe thats incredibly clean

 

Umm......big frank....?? But doing that i'm sure is pretty pricey. Wifey doesn't give/like me sending money on my car. I think she is jealous cause i spend more time with it then her. haha

 

I was wondering if any of u guys meet up any where or just go to the track.

 

You seem focused on horsepower. Why? High horsepower does not always equal a fast car. Not sure if it is still the case, but back in the day I remember 800hp Supras that couldn't make it into the 11's. Dyno queens. 280 RWHP in a coupe with a properly set up suspension and gearing and some attention paid to weight should be a quick street car. Throw the 100 of 150 shot on it and you get a car that requires care to drive to it's full potential (and some good tires).

The lesson I have learned (and it cost me tons of money) is that high horsepower cars are difficult to make reliable on a budget. An unreliable high horsepower car that constantly breaks down gets old quick.

 

Well yes and no!! But I understand what ur say'n. A buddy of mine had a 140hp crx and would kill tons!! I guess my thing is I am always wanting to do something to my car. Well what would u sugest? Stock suspension, 3.73 gears, and what about weight??

 

Alot of my prob I think is I don't know all that is done to my car other then what I did or can see!!

 

I don't know how you drive it. If you use the car a lot, the majority of your driving is under 50 mph. Plus, you would spend as much time turning as going straight. At a minimum, 3.73 gears will wake up the car. I'm sure there are others here that are more knowlegable about suspensions. There are suspension kits that shave significant weight from the car.

The trick is to figure out what you want, talk to people that have gotten their car to where you want yours to be and then copy their buildup. Having a map to follow saves a lot of money.

Again, I'm speaking from my experiences. I had a 94 GT. I bought parts for it on a whim with no plan. I bought a used turbocharger kit and put an e cam it it. I never had a plan for tuning it. I spent a ton of money making the interior look new. I never paid attention to the exterior. I wanted a date car for my wife and myself. I took the AC out of it. The engine bay looked like an abortion. I bought a G Force tranny but didn't get a good clutch. I started building a mega squirt computer and then got a tweecer. Like I say, there was no plan. Just buying crap - expensive crap. There was nothing wrong with the individual components, just a lack of planning.
