I don't think you will be able to take him without the nitrous. A head/cam/intake foxbody is capable of around mid 12's all motor. I think his biggest issue will be traction.
Does it lope or idle rough? I doubt many people would build a motor without replacing the stock cam. This guy bought it this way right? He probably isn't 100% on what's done to it anyway
if he had a cam he would sound like this right? quote]
Well it's kinda hard to say but generally yes. I have a feeling that the car in the video is prolly set up alot nicer than your buddy's. If this guy really does have edelbrock heads intake exhaust and a cam then yes it should sound "something" like that. Just race the guy and find out. This isn't pinks you don't have to bet $500 on the race.
you need the bottle and you need to get the "feel" of it first you like me a short while ago has never used nitrous before you need to get it in your car and feel it before you need to depend on it to win you $500 so fill the damn bottle and we'll put it in your car tomorrow
in the 8th those 4 10's are going to help but i had a nearly stock 85 5.0 that would take stock 02 mach 1's in the 8th i had some 373's i ran 8.7 in the 8th on a nearly stock car.. good luck buddy and another thing if he put a c4 in it then he proly has it set up for the track..
theres no way i would race for 500 dollars anyway......i say if you even consider that you got the money to blow so have fun......and you have to tell us what happens even if you lose
i would do the race but instead of $500.... i would do maybe a full tank of gas or somthin... $500 bucks is a lot for a car you really dont know much about
if i was racing for 500 bucks you can be damn sure i'd have the bottle filled , turned on and red hot , i don't care if i was racing a geo metro, you never know and why take a chance !!!
everybody always seems to focus on engine upgrades. does anybody ever concider suspension? you take your mild f303 cam and give me a good set of lower control arms and let's see what a difference the 60' time will make to the race.
he just got the car and by the sounds of it he was lied to and knows nothing of what he has.. its the 1/8 mile at a track. this race will probably never happen. i tried to call his brother lastnight and he did not pick up he also did not show up for work. not saying he's bitching out just yet but i think they will.. as for the bottle ive got till friday to make my mind up
I would race him but don't doubt the 5.0's. Even with less modification the 5.0's can be fast not to mention light. Race on the bottle though! Why wouldn't you? Bragging rights? If you got it use it.... That's $500 man... I can think of a lot of things I could use that for.
