what do stock 5.0's run in the quarter?

 

yeah they seem to have a cult status everywhere, but most people are just trying to prove something, but in the case with heavily modded tuners, they are just picking on them.

Dwisforme05:
I believe Foxes werehigh 14 to low 15 sec cars "stockish" but some one correct me if i'm wrong

 

Stock 5.0's made peak power at about 47-4800 rpm. Above that the stock valve springs let the valves float.

 

was she hot?

 

For those of you wondering where each respective car is making its peak power, all you have to do is look at the horsepower and torque numbers.

A car with a high torque rating and a (comparitively) low horse power rating will make its power down lower, whereas cars that have higher horse ratings, but lower torque ratings (such as a civic) are going to be the cars that rev to the moon to get their power.

You have to remember that horsepower is a rating based off of torque production at a certain RPM. horsepower = (torque x rpm)/5252

It easy to make eclipses fast, don't feel bad.

 

LOL dont listen to this guy! Feel bad. It's easy to make a fox fast! Time to dig into your piggy bank and get working.

 

i understand this to some extent but aren't the parts expensive? my friend built a talon from the ground up for the 1/4 and he spent like 10 to 15k just getting thedrivetrainall figured out and then he rebuilt the engine and got bigger turbos and everything. I mean with the drivetrain it was because it was AWD but still. with a Fox you better be fast if you've thrown 10 to 15k in it, period

 

Well, I meant it was easy to make it fast, relative to a stock 5.0. Exhaust and intake give it 30 whp. On a stock setup, a boost controller can be used to up the boost to roughly 16-17 psi, which is about +50 whp. So, about 1k for over 300 hp.

Making them really fast is another story. Yes, that gets expensive. It's not hard at all to drop over 10k into them. Drivetrain can be expensive. Awd tranny is about 2k, front axles about 700. 1g rear-ends are weak, but people usually buy 2g rear-ends pretty cheap, which will get them well into the 10's. My friend has a 1g awd talon and ran mid 11's on stock drive-train (2g rear-end), spraying 125 shot off the line. He had to upgrade his tranny to get into the 10's though.
