you can always just opt to get some msd wires that are the custom fit ones...they come with a bag of different angled plug boots that'll fit around the headers..and with long tubes you'll have an easier time.

remember, horsepower isn't everything.. having a car that can put the power down and a driver to use the power > dyno sheets

Oh I know, I'm not a dyno junkie. I just want a little more pep. I'm not looking for a super fast car, a mid 13 second car is fast enough for now. I don't want to over do the power for my son right now.

Best thing to do is make him BUILD it, make him put blood sweat and tears in the car.

That way every time he drives, he'll think about how much time and $$ it takes to make a car great and wont be stupid.

Not saying he's stupid, but you get my point - Respect.

Bolt ons will be enough for a mid 13 sec car

Yea I kinda figured that. We need to go run it just to see what it will do now. What do you think? Its a bone stock motor with shorty headers, no cats, an x pipe, and flow masters with turn downs. It also has 3:73 gears.

08fordgt · July 17th, 2009, 08:47 PM

325 isnt that hard to get. and fox bodies are light so its going 2 go fast regardless

superbean · July 17th, 2009, 10:04 PM

why not 12's? 13s are slow lol

He is only 16, he doesn't need anything that fast yet!

HOLLYWD69 · July 17th, 2009, 11:46 PM

What other cars/trucks (if any) came with the gt40 heads and the explorer type intake? I'm thinking I may do a gt40 head and intake swap with 1.7 rocker arms. This should be plenty fast for him right now and do a full motor build in about a year.

skip the 3.73s, go to 4.10s, slicks, will easily run mid 13s

It already has the 3:73s in it so that's what I am going to stick with for now.

HOLLYWD69 · July 19th, 2009, 05:24 PM

This may be a stupid question but when they say the gt40s have angled plugs what exactly they mean? The heads on my 86 Appear to have angled plugs. Are these the stock heads?

i think only the gt40ps were angled, and it means a diff angle than stock. All it means is some headers wont fit, which isnt a big deal.

or make your car fast enough to need 3.73s

The term angled plug is misleading.. I'm getting ready to put a set on my daily, so I have been reading up.

The stock head have roughly a 45 deg angle for the plugs whereas the "P" heads have a lack of this angle, as it's more like 20 deg. Thus, it creates clearance for the primary tubes on some headers
