Why spend all that money on AFR's to go into the 12's. If you have the money to back up the AFR's with the proper parts it better be in the 11's.

Proper parts selection on induction, exhaust, and chassis will put a fox into the 12's with a stock block.

Default pcj is right

i have known plenty of guys with fox body and even 94-95 5.0s that break into 12's on stock block. i run completly stock block and heads, and will be putting my 89 on the track for the first time this year but fully intend to see 12 seconds, 5.0s are so great bc you dont HAVE to dump your whole savings account in it....

you can jump into the high 12's on stock motor.

suspension suspension suspension. cant stress it enough. then as you add on your motor parts you'll have a growing monster on your hands. otherwise you'll always be playing catch up with traction issues.

In this case you could have said: the heads you already have will meet your goal. Now if you want to exceeed that goal......
