Update on my foxbody

If you do decide to change the rear gear or entire rearend for that matter, a 4.56 with a 30" tire is still not enough gear. I believe you would be better suited with a 5.13 in the 8.8 or a 5.14 if you put a 9" rear in.

Last nights runs, best of 8.71. I got better with my burnouts,and the air was a little better. Also pickup one MPH. It made four passes at 8.77 back to back, short times moved down to low 1.8s

If the timing is still @ 10 with the "spout" out, give 14 a try, assuming good gas.

You should get a hold of Ed Hohenberg, he has a great knowledge of the Ford factory computer, and what to use to hop it up on a budget.

Evan Smith might know how to contact Ed. John Presing ran in the 11.80 range, back in early 2000's, in L/S.
