How fast can a stock 5.0 go
 

I just want to see what some of you guys have accomplished drag racing a fairly stock 5.0. With and without any power adders

Bone stock long block down to the crappy E6 heas 13.1@102
Adding stock 87-95 E7TE heads I went 12.9@103

Wow that is good do you have a standard or auto

I'm a twin turbo C4 auto guy now, but back then I was rocking the stock T5
Biggest mistake most guys make with these cars is too much exhaust too soon. I did that through stock ported headers and stock h-pipe dumped after the cats. 3.73 gears. LOTS of gutting and lots of practice banging gears.

That is good to know. I have a Aod right now but hope to put a T5 in soon. I also would like to do a gear swap but where I live I need a gear for long roads

Has anybody ever gone 10's with a stock long block and a power adder. That would be cool

I'll find out soon with the twin turbo set up. Last time it was out it coasted to a 13.1@116 letting off at the 1000ft mark (blew an intercooler pipe). Since then I have added a larger thottle body, ported stock heads, and a C4 auto, bigger intercooler and pipes, drag suspension and slicks. Also have some bigger injectors. If it can get enough fuel I don't see why a 10 second pass would be out of the question.

I am interested in your times also. You are using stock heads Scones?

Holy crappers:lol:tup

yeah, stock E7s ported by Schlodes.

I did not know he did that kind of work, very good

Did you have to change your valves when you had your heads ported. Sounds expensive

I went 12.81 at 105.49 88 Gt no engine mods on a 26x8 slick. Had pulleys, ram air thru headlight ,3.55gear,no sway bar,sd steering,heavy billet flywheel,stock headers and H pipe with 2.5 dynomax mufflers and turn downs.

As far as nitrous I new of a guy in Halifax that ran a 11.33 on a stock motor. but after 3 runs had to give up to motor damage. He had bent push rods and #2 main cap had split. To bad but if oil pressure never dropped he was thinking the car mite have gone a 10.90. I remember at the time thinking he was a nut. I talked to him years later and when he pulled the car apart it had issues from front to back....broken cap/bent valves/ clutch was toast/axles turned on spline.

I have a group of friends up here that say a stock 5.0 won't go faster than the 13's. I say what do they know they all drive imports lol. I think I am going with 3:55 gears to wake the car a bit. The roads here are long and you have to drive forever to get somwere around here so tall gears are out of the question

slap nitrous on it, just dont over rev it, it wont be good but you will go faster alot faster

Only getting 2 gears, 3rd doesn't some to be working so putting off track day till I get that figured out.

what do you figure the problem is off the top

shifter cable or linkage issue....i hope

that would seem like an easy fix for you, good luck

That is too bad. I was interested to hear about your results. Turbo's are cool

That is too bad. I was interested to hear about your results. Turbo's are cool

sounds to me like you dont have your linkage set right. Have you tried to shift it at the trans into 3rd

I am really starting to like the turbo whistle

I really the turbo kick

The only turbo I have ever driven was an 81 T/A and that thing took forever to spool up and even then not a ton of power. I have mentioned this in the past but thank God for modern technology

I have seen blown349's car go and wow totally different from when it was supercharged. Way better as a turbo

Bah, this trans issue is pissing me off. Wishing I would have stuck with T5s, even if I had to replace it after every track visit it would have been better than the b.s. I've gone through lol.

sorry to
hear bud, good luck

stick with it, once worked out the work real well

you sure hope so

tons of guys have run 10s on stock bottom end 302s with power adders...nitrous, blower, or turbo...some lasted...some were blasted...trick is in the tune

How fast have stock headed stock bottom ended 5.0's gone

12s...wit gears tires etc

Is that with a power adder

No, but you need to get the weight out of the car 1st

Nice thing is some Foxes are light from the get go

depends on what you call light :D

^^^true to that, I will say these days 3000lbs and a v8=light. Of coarse that's my humble opinion tehehehe

Im under that and some are way under that

The quickest I got my car full weight was 13.0, i must be doing something wrong
