Default what would i run?

just wondering any estimates of what i would run and how much Hp you think im putting out (at the crank). Okay i have an 88 5.0 HO with these mods....

4.10 gears, mild cam ( not sure exaclty yet which cam), mac fenderwall intake, msd ignition, bbk headers, bbk o/r h pipe, flowmaster 2 chamber catback, brand new tremec tranny with short throw shift, 13* timing.

It also has wled aluminum draglights with about 8 in. in the back and 3.5 in front. tires are brand new also., aluminum drive shaft, fiberglass cowl induction hood.

thats pretty much all for now, but any estimates would be great... thanks

High 13's ....maybe. That 4.10 gear is actually gonna hurt you rather than help. 4.10's are WAY too much for a 5 spd foxbody.

High 13s shouldn't be a problem. Drive it like you stole it.

finally someone who agrees with me that 4.10's are way too much for a 5spd, unless your running drag slicks or really good DR's....


i's say low 14's maybe 13's if you loose some weight ....

Has anybody who speaks negative about 4.10's tried them on a N/A motor?

They're F-ing Awesome!!
