haha you just said theres not alot of people running turbo foxbodys, good joke. theres probably more turbo foxbodys than there are supercharged ones. different and more rare HAHA, thats laughable. i can tell youve been reading by the terminology that you use. good luck with your build though.

Throw a 03 04 cobra motor in your stang and call it a day. I think that would be one of the more bad ass things to see. Id rather see a built mod motor sittin in a fox then a built pushrod motor. I think its cool and its diffrent. Not sure on how many people are doing those swaps these days tho.

What happened to the plan on spending 5K on suspension upgrades and switching to IRS? Sounds like you have a lot of good ideas and aspirations but will they ever reach reality? The amount you want to spend to reenact a scene from Fast and Furious makes me skeptical that you are actually serious. With what you have right now, you can start road racing and you can go to a 1/4 track and have a blast with both. Maybe it is time to stop talking about it and start doing it.

listen, im not home and wont be home for atleast 7 months...so im talking to u guys on this forum and people and friends back home and where im at here, and gathering my thoughts and ideas...so when i finnaly build my stang its gonna WHOOOP ASSS!


my stang is on the drawing board...


when i finally figure out what i want to do itll save me money and ill know exactly what i want to do. Im keeping the live axle and goin to use maxium motorsports for my suspension and chassis, give and take a few other companies...

ive been reading up on turbo and bought a book thats all about turbo, so im getting other people opinions on different setups and people on this forum have turbo setups so they know the pro's and cons. ill let someone else spend the money and find out how good or bad it is before i go and spend my money,
