I recently picked up on 91 GT fox body. This is my first V8 car in 10 years, I've been building rotary drag cars for the last decade. I have always had a soft spot for these, so I finally picked one up.
It's a pretty stock daily driver with a few upgrades. it has a BBK 65mm throttle body, gt40p (Explorer intake manifold?) e303 cam, unknown headers and exhaust, and it has been lowered 1.5". And I have a set of draglites that I will be putting on there. 15x8 in the back and 15x3.5 in the front.
I'm looking to keep it as my daily driver, but have it still able to pull mid 12's in the quarter. And I would like to do this on a low budget, and keep it mainly factory swappable parts. After reading and searching for hours on end for the last week or two. I have come up with a few needs to get me to that goal on top of what has already been done.
3 inch aluminum intake pipe with good flowing filter routed to inside the fender for cold air. along with a 70 mm MAF from and 94 to 95 GT Mustang. 24# injectors and adjust the timing. Then finish it off with 3.73 gears. It has 3.08 in there now!
From what I have read, this should get me into 12.50 range with slicks. Without slicks and really good driving, high12's are doable.
There are a lot more things that I want to do to it in the future like valve Springs and roller rockers in GT 40 heads, subframe connectors, Ect. Ect. but I'm wondering if my research is correct. because I only know what I have read recently about these cars.
will this combo work together and meet my goals? Is tuning needed or will the larger maf and injectors handle that?
