Alot of foxbody owners will say to add some Nitrous to your motor. It's cheap, easy horsepower and alot of people are very happy with the end results on the fox's. But....Hell... If you got a 351 with a stroker kit.. Sounds like somebody spent some time and money into the motor. I'd say Nitrous or Supercharger. Would be all you'd have left to do to it. I've heard that putting a 3.73 or 4.10 gears really help alot on acceleration for our cars.
Oh... by the way nice ride!!!! I wish my '85 looked that good!

so you are 16 years old, you have a foxbody with a 427 stroker in it, and you want more power?
i think you have traction issues, and not power issues. that motor should be scaring the hell out of you.
