Hello,

New guy from Knightsville SC. Just recently moved out here this year for a new job. Ive had quite a few foxbodys, all street cars, nothing full race/drag. Current car is a 88 notch, ac, ps, full interior... here are a couple pics...

Welcome!

Why no hood? Because street car?

BAD BOB · 10-24-2011, 11:51 AM

sounds fast!

399stroker · 10-24-2011, 12:08 PM

Thanks for the welcomes!

No hood cause i actually just got it put together in that pic, 4 cylinder conversion.

Not as fast as you guys it seems. I went to dorchester last night just to watch and saw some pretty serious cars out there.

My fastest time to date is 11.78 @ 123 at 4psi on an a-trim and 3.55's in the 1/4.

You went 11.78 at dorchester? That's slower than a stock fox. Welcome to the site and have fun getting it quicker my friend.

399stroker · 10-24-2011, 12:42 PM

Lol, if I ran an 11.78 in the 8th mile, I would trade my car for a prius and call it a day.

11.78 @ 123, fontana raceway in ca

Definitely need to get quicker regardless. But im one of "those guys" that drives my car everyday so I'm riding the fine line on whats streetable and whats not.

11.78 in the 1/4 or 1/8th?... that quick for 1/4 mile puts it @ 7.5's in the 1/8th

399stroker · 10-24-2011, 01:05 PM

Sorry, guess I shoulda clarified, its 1/4 mile.

I actually had 28 spline shafts at the time, broke a shaft on my first pass, changed the shaft in the parking lot and made 2 more passes. But I was deathly scared I was going to break another shaft so I left at only 1500. 60 was only a 1.8. Ran an 11.78 @ 123 mph. I figure at that mph if I had my suspension dialed in and coulda left at a decent rpm and all things else being the same that probably would have been a bottom 11 second pass or maybe even a high 10...

Ive done alot of changes since then so I hope im mid 10's now. But I havnt been to the track since.

I desperately need a tune and I desperately need a roll bar at minimum.

But all in all im happy with my current set up, I got 21 mpg on the way out here from ca, slap a set of tires on it and run 11's. Not bad IMO but id still like to be faster.

Nice! I hear white hoods make them fast.

Cracked all to hell hoods are even faster. It came off on me half track and I never got a new one, just 4 pinned it. Also the reason its still white, no sense in painting it as its afu.
