darrel the moderator
Hello,
I have seen a couple of youre posts on the interent and you are very knowleagable, forgive me on my writing.Okay youre car is a awesome car, you have any videos? Alright here is my question, I am going to at least be running 400 to 500 horses.I would like to upgrade the rear end to a 9 inch rear end on my LX Fox.Bear with me, I have seen suspension set-ups where the coilovers are bolted to the roll cage inside the car, and are mini-tubbed, is this neccesarry for my car? And is there any DIY threads on how to mini-tub youre fox-stang and do that same coilover set-up? O the car is going to be a drag car on the streets, call me crazy if youd like.

Here is a link to videos - http://videos.mustangvideos.net/uploaded/380391.htm
Here is the most recent video of the car - http://www.rsdtv.net/flvplayer.swf?f...t=true&fs=true At 400 to 500 horsepower there is no need for a 9". I'm over 700 horsepower and I'm no where near pushing the limits on my 8.8. Use good axles and parts and you will have no problems. You can run coil overs if you'd like but they are not necessary. I am only because I wanted to get rid of the stock springs for tire clearance.

However, when the car started running low 9s I wasn't concerned about suckering people in anymore I was more concerned about people actually knowing how fast the car was because it was very impressive for the combination. I was told by many "experts" that the car would be lucky to run mid 10s with my combination and their main reason was because I was running Trick Flow heads So I completely took the nitrous system off so people couldn't say "you aren't running naturally aspirated, you are spraying". I did spray the car a few times but it didn't perform all that well because the torque converter was so loose because it was designed for maximum performance naturally aspirated. On nitrous the converter slipped horribly. The car went the fastest naturally aspirated.

Thank You Darrel for youre opinion, I have another question which no one has been able to answer me.What carburator is best for drag racing and remember this car is going to be on the streets.People have always been telling me about the Holley carburator's.But I have seen the holley 4500 dominator series carbs, pro's and cons about this carb.Can you provide the best carburator manufacturers out there? And difference between cfms' on carbs.Look total I have to spend on everything going in on my car is 10,000.
