My car will be paid off this fall, and I want to buy a fox to build as a mild race car.

Don't know a whole lot about foxes but I was thinking H/C/I and maybe a 100 shot. Would a stock motor hold up to that pretty well? What about the rear end? Would I need a fuel system?

I'm strongly considering this, as I'm not sure I want to make my current mustang a race car... and I've always loved the sound and look of a 5.0 with some cams and some skinnies/slicks...

Point me in the right direction here. What kind of power will I be looking at with H/C/I? What would I be running at the track?

Can't say about the track but with a good hci you should be able to hit 350rwhp easily. And with all of that you will need to upgrade the fuel system and get a dyno tune.

I don't know a ton about drag as I'm still getting into it but with those mods, some gears and slicks I wouldn't be surprised to see 11's? Don't take my word on th time though.

Hmm... that's more than I expected. Maybe I'll leave the nitrous out, I wouldn't think a stock motor would hold much more than that. What's a decent fuel system run for a fox? How much am I looking at for all of it? I'll probably get some moser 31spline axles as well as some 3.73's. If I can pick up the car for say... $2,000-$2,500, ~$500 for some cams, ~$800 for heads, ~$600 for intake. fuel system ????, and ~$500 for a dyno tune. So I could probably get it done for under $6,000 maybe a little over? Or am I wayyy off?

If you get most of your parts used it shouldnt cost that much. As for a fuel upgrade, if you just do an hci, then 24-30 lb injectors should be fine and can be bought for around $80 bucks on ebay. Then a new walbro 255 lph fuel pump runs $100-$125.

An explorer gt40 intake $150-$300. Trick flow 170 cylinder heads used $800, custom cam $350-$400
Used 3:73 gears $80. Used throttle body $100-$150, upgraded maff $150-$200
