Sweet ride I’m getting ready to install the Mach 1 chin spoile on my lx also. 🤙🏻. I’d be curious to see what he runs in the 1/4. Did he have 3.73’s. I like the supercharger but watching neomustang when he drove his dads stang with nos you could see he was like holy shit’ I’m waiting to hear back which is faster I’m guessing nos would be but we’ll see.

[@kevin_nagle]

@@lovelife-mq3ch My 91 Fox made 515 at the tire on 93 pumpgas, no meth, through an AOD on 14 psi with a Vortech V3-Si. It drives like stock and it has a Freddy Brown AOD with a 10" PTC converter. The converter drives like the factory converter but will flash to 4200 from a stop. This is with the stock 78k mile 302 shortblock, Edelbrock Performer heads, TFS Stg 1 camshaft, GT40 intake, 60# Siemens Deka injectors and Holley Terminator X engine management. As far as comforts nothing has been removed, ice cold AC, dual DIN head unit with Apple Play, 400w amp, single 10" sub in the hatch.

Ahhhh! I had a 1989 also black LX that I let go back in 2008. Also supercharged and I got nostalgic, found my VHS and posted up my dyno too. Sigh you make me miss my car again! Thx for post!

[@waynebollentin989]

Not sure what heads but we made 640whp. That was in 1997 with a S-trim w/2.75 pulley, out the box but the original street heat heads(which I still own), off the shelf lunati cam .515/515 w/1.6 rockers, cobra lower, box upper, 70mm TB, 80lb Deka injectors, bone stock bottom end with extra ring gap. Ok, ok I left out the most important thing that made the difference. Even though there's much better now. Gen 6 DFI was the shit at the time and the reason the car made the power it. That and I was very good friends with a man named Nitrous Pete. I crewed for him when he ran in the NMCA. Anyone that is an old school fox guy should know that name. I learned a ton from that man and he's the reason I stopped racing Chevy for awhile and went Ford but I'll run either. It's not the manufacturer but the people behind the build. Anyway good luck with the car. Never messed with anything that worked with the stock ECU. That then all the chips and shit were junk and a waste but there's a ton of potential if you can get past the limitations of the factory ECU. After gen 6 DFI I went to F.a.s.t, Big Stuff and Fueltech. So I don't know much about the stuff that works with the stock ECU. Again good luck with it

[@bigretardhalo]

Nitrous Pete Misinsky.... that name brings back the 90’s more than the build in this video 👍 must have been an exciting time crewing back then... everything was learning new technology

[@waynebollentin989]

@@bigretardhalo yeah every time I see something like this it brings back so many amazing times. I also find it hilarious that many guys in their 20s think everyone that raced back then only used carbs or don't understand the new technology. Many of us got to see it progress through the years. We're the reason they have the technology they have today. We were fucking with traction control like 20 years ago with MSD. It's not new. Although many of the stuff is so much more user friendly. No question there. When I first learn how to tune from Pete is was through the Gen6 DFI which worked in DOS. It wasn't even a windows program lol.. Yeah Pete was one of the original Pro 5.0 guys. I've been very lucky to travel and learn from him. Then when he had to stop racing back in the late 90s for awhile because of a brain aneurysm. I got to learn from another great guy. Which is Anthony Disomma. I helped build his 04 cobra and actually owned his old championship NMCA super modified nitrous car. Although I had a turbo in it. Believe me, I know I've been very fortunate to be around and learn from some of the best that every did it. I could keep name dropping but I won't lol.. Take care bro.

[@bigretardhalo]

@@waynebollentin989 - I agree with you on the 20 year olds... many of them have no idea how close factory muscle cars were to dead before the Fox body vs Camaro/Firebird and Grand Nationals started a new drag strip pony car/muscle car run what you brung tradition... it’s funny how many companies today got their start making EFI hop up parts in the late 80’s early 90’s.

With the right injectors should be around 425-435 hp range at 10psi if he's still running 19's Im surprised it didn't lean out before 4500 rpm. I had to run 24's in my 92 vortech GT to get it to run correctly

[@midnight347]

Id prob go with 30s even 24s are on the small side. 03 cobras come with 39s and only make about 360-380 whp stock so you need to be up closer to that imo if not higher. A blown car running 10 psi with upgraded heads cam and intake should have like 42s imo.

[@0521zakk]

i would add a /msd /42 injectors / timing 21/ auto light 24s thats what i use to run. this is a great starting point. good luck

[@DaGoaliee30]

You should be on the brink of 500 wheel. This is a 30 year old proven combo, H/C/I blower on a stock bottom end, 500 whp / 500tq is about all your going to get out of a stock bottom end before it comes un done. with a stock fuel system with a pump (255lph all you need) heads like those trickflow, trickflow stage one cam, cobra intake (ported lower), 60# injectors and 80mm MAF, i made just over 500 wheel @ 11lbs and shut it down....thats the most youll get out of that motor and that setup....you should be running much bigger injectors and matching MAF and youll squeeze 500 out of it safely...idk why your leaving 100 wheel on the table.. 400 wheel is what you make with a explorer setup GT40 heads , basic cam and intake and a vortech @ 10lbs, thats 400 wheel, aluminum heads, a good cam, and a fuel pump and your 500 wheel. This has been done for 30 years, nothing special or amazingly unique we are talking about here.... this has been done literally thousands of times since the 90's

[@paulhudgins5120]

Not to bad, 390 h.p.with belt slipping, not enough fuel to injectors, with some tuning and couple of queeks, he should hit 450 h.p. no problem, very good from a push rod stock bottom end 302. Hopefully they can get the dyno figured out!!

[@rhull3939]

A mustang dyno calculates in drivetrain loss and gives you a crank horsepower estimate? Do you have to enter in the vehicle specs or something?

Great video that shows the hard work that people put into they’re cars, and THAT FOX BODY IS GORGEOUS!!

PLEASE BELIEVE ME, I AM NOT trying to say or imply anything bad, but I’m just wondering that’s all. I don’t know if they’re too expensive, or if they don’t use the dyno that much or what.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned. If it’s an Aeromotive 340, if you don’t upgrade the wiring to it it won’t put out it’s full potential. Been there done that. Needs 10ga wire iirc.

[@DaGoaliee30]

forget the wiring, the lines and the fuel rails are not going to run a 340.....i make low 500's on a stock fuel rail stock lines basically stock fuel system except a 255 pump, thats all you need....I have seen people split stock bottom end motors running stock fuel rails and lines with just a 255 pump, no need for anything more then that on a stock bottom end.....simple

[@NoFox_Given]

Either way, you should have correct the wiring. I just now what Aeromotive told me back when I was only making 500 wheel. I make a lot more than that now but I run twin 450’s and E85. Still stock block. But I use a turbo.
