Hi all - glad to be back to the Fox body side of racing. A little info about me:
I've had 7 Fox body Mustangs starting with my first 1986 that I bought back in 1991 - small mods but that was basically my first taste of drag racing.
Fast forward many years, many cars, and 3 children later. For the last 4 years i've drag raced my 1994 Z28 with bolt ons, small cam, suspension and a 5lb Vortech SQ trim blower turning 11.37@122 on drag radials.
I've sold the Z about 2 weeks ago and picked up an ultra clean 1986 Fox AOD car with 82k miles and a couple of mods here and there.
Went to a track rental at Norwalk yesterday and made the cars first passes under my ownership before I start modding it. Ran a best of 14.29@96mph
So - the plans are this: mid/low 11's, factory interior and streetable.
I'm lost on this AOD however - I have a buddy that has a converter for me, I believe (he believes) it's around 3400-3600 stall.
Current mods on the car are this:
4.10 gears (no posi)
Underdrive pullies
MAC stainless steel equal length headers
Off road h pipe w/ bullet dumps
Griffin aluminum radiator
Black Magic electric fan
UPR adjustable lower control arms
3" fiberglass cowl hood
1.6 Roller rockers (Not confirmed yet)
Mods I added on Day 2 of owning:
Drag radials
Upper intake and throttle body from 1987
Open air intake (Homemade CAI)
Car weighed 3180 with me and a half a tank of gas
