Just awesome to see the RetroFox running great, awesome fix. Maybe changing 3.73 gears to 3.27 maybe you won't blow off the tires as bad, but then again how good she is running it might not make much difference, Just need more tires.
I'm new to the channel. I have an 87 gt I'm currently attempting to get on the road. Love your work and the channel. I almost swear I know the accents as I live in sweet home Alabama.
Had to pause immediately after the copper spray part so I can throw my .02 in.... That copper spray is the biggest, most overlooked thing in entirely too many builds I see, and I'm even talking about BIGTIME youtube race guys.... it's too often I see folks just slapping gaskets on no matter their material and calling it good to go only to see them a few videos later with blasted gaskets or problems related to that. It takes 10 seconds, a quick spray on both sides (not just for head gaskets) but great for exhaust manifolds as well. It's common sense. It expands when it's hot, shrinks back down when it's cool. It works. This stuff is even used on big OTR high HP diesel engines, pulling trucks, 100+ lbs of boost insanely hot IT'S and zero issues time after time. It's cheap, simple and effective. Why I see so many people not using it is beyond me, but I'll get back to the video now.
I got a blowed head gasket for the third time. Maybe time for me to go with studs to hold my heads on better. Keep giving the retro fox hell and see if it doesn't blow a head gasket.
Man, she looks great with the Pony wheels. Glad you got the gasket sorted... sure runs like a scalded dog! Your 5th gear still sounds like an overdrive. My 89 LX 5 spd has 3.73's, and it's like a close ratio 4 speed with barely an overdrive. Not sure what my Trans ratio in 1st is, but I have read the 89 was different. She came with 3.08's.
I had 3 89s I have never heard that they had a different trans I think that is a myth. They all had the same t5. It may not have an oem trans because it definitely has an overdrive. My 89 with 373 turned maybe 2500 rpm at 70 give or take. I had another w 273 and another with optional 3.08. The other car was also 3.08 that I went to 3.73s on.
I tried the copper spray on 9333’s about 6/7 years ago and they still failed on me at just over 12 psi. I found out afterwards they are PTFE coated (TEFLON) and the copper spray dosent adhere very well to them. I’ve since went to MLS and never lost another at higher boost even.
I’m only pushing coolant under boost doesn’t over heat unless I blow out too much coolant . Going to slap some afr heads on it soon with studs hope that fixes the issue
Glad you got it fixed. I just did trick flow stage 1, 11r heads and a Holley systemax intake and the car doesn't have power like it should. Idk what else to check or do
@@BREW2LFOXBODY 10* spout out. I have nitrous but haven't crossed that path yet since the top end kit. It's an aod. I know it needs a stall I got one on order. But it still feels slower almost then before the top end kit.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY and I can't get my tos down past 1.79 that's with the throttle stop all the way out. And I drilled the holes out.. and it intake popped slowing down 2 or 3 different times
Brew2l I had a question to ask and need a little info. I have a 351w that’s been internally balance. The shop put the flywheel 28 oz now it has vibration can they add a 28 oz hermonic balancer to even out the weight or will that ruin the motor.
Quick question, How Hard is it to install a supercharger on a mass air setup on a 89, with a B cam and a decent set of alum heads? just want one to compliment such as the video with andrews friends car. Injectors, pump, computer? and mass air meter? or what all exactly do I need?
I've heard that you need to re torque head studs after a few heat cycles. ARP instructions make no mention of it. What's your thoughts? Internet lore or facts?
@@BREW2LFOXBODY thanks…I’m ready to buy a kit so hopefully it’s soon!!! Should I go 6psi kit or 12psi I kit? 100% street but the price jump is $1500-2000
@@BREW2LFOXBODY I run them also the seen to be doing good! Just wondering how much power them heads can handle.Also how do you like the 3.73 gears vs like a 3.27 with your boosted cars.We nearly have the same set up but you car is definitely more volition I love it.
Now if only keep tires from spining , get her to hook up. Sweeeet. They are snakey and kick out too much , until tubbed out. Then they hook up. Fun times
The Retro is running stronger than ever, it's also looking great 👍
Good to see the Retro Fox running smooth and strong!! Still my favorite build! Good work as usual Brother! 💯👊🏾
Thanks OG!

Just need more tires.
The 3.73s would be perfect at the track but on the street I agree I think a 3.31 would be better
Love the sound of the Retro Fox...
Reminds me of the good OL Days when they were new with some custom exhaust / simple mods.
Clean tasteful beauty 💯💯💯
Thank you 💪
What I'm Talking about Drive it Buddy Drive that Bad Boy on though them. He'll yeah
Hell yea damn I love that car! Thank goodness you caught it like you said before things could've gotten way worse
Exactly! It could have been worse 👀
Glad to see everything sorted. Solid car👌🏾😎👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤
U are the master of down playing engine mods, paint and body work lmao!!!!
🤣😂✊
Awesome Video Man!!!
The Retro Fox Sounds Good!!!
Man that hang hittin hard
Love when you take us along for a nice Fox ride brother! 👊🏻

Awesome deal
I know im late to the game on this one, but what timing are you running with that supercharger? That thing is a beast!
I tried the copper spray on 9333’s about 6/7 years ago and they still failed on me at just over 12 psi. I found out afterwards they are PTFE coated (TEFLON) and the copper spray dosent adhere very well to them. I’ve since went to MLS and never lost another at higher boost even.
Aaammmm, smoke dog!
Excellent work
Went through so many head gaskets with 03/04 cobra over the years.
Ps, haven’t saw a Hartman intake in about 15 years
That’s a damn job on an 03-04 cobra… 👀 I know about that one 🥵
Looks and sounds awesome
The car sounds great and looks like it has plenty of power, what MAS air meter are you running with the 60 lbs injectors?
Thanks! I honestly can’t remember what the part number was on it. But it’s a Pmass
I’m only pushing coolant under boost doesn’t over heat unless I blow out too much coolant . Going to slap some afr heads on it soon with studs hope that fixes the issue
That’s a 5,000 blower.
It’s hard to supper charge it when turbos are half the price
I completely understand that argument
Turbos have alot of stuff to go wrong…pay the extra money for supercharger simplicity….being cheap can be a pain in the ass sometimes
Glad you got it fixed. I just did trick flow stage 1, 11r heads and a Holley systemax intake and the car doesn't have power like it should. Idk what else to check or do
What is your timing set at? NA or power adder?

Stock pistons have no comp making no power
@@NorthRacing it sounds like a possible vacuum leak or maybe the valves are too tight.
What 60lb injectors are you running? Was thinking on running 100s and a 525pump on my same setup but probably overkill.
Hey I’m working on building a similar set up and I’m still trying to figure out my pcv set up just curious how it is set up on the retro fox
Can't wait to see Andrews car man
It’s running good 👍
@@BREW2LFOXBODY Hell yeah

Why a B-cam with a supercharger? Why not the E-cam? The B cam has more valve overlap, right?

Love it. Great content beautiful car
Thank you Ray 💪
Hell yea more power more speed .. great video brew2l 😎😎😎
💪
Dam that’s bad ass what psi are you seeing up top?
10-11 psi
I've heard that you need to re torque head studs after a few heat cycles. ARP instructions make no mention of it. What's your thoughts? Internet lore or facts?
I would be more likely to re torque head bolts than studs. I’ve never had any problems with studs
I’ve tried to re torque mine and they haven’t moved in the last 5 years but that’s using MLS gaskets
Stock T5 baby!
💪
60# injectors on my vortech combos as well. I got a tune from Bob Kurgan years ago.
What car is the most fun at this point? 😅
I actually have a video coming out soon on that topic. But I’ll say the Retro never disappoints 😎
Great video! Car looks and sounds so good!
Do you still have a code for $$ off the supercharger at Anderson’s?
Thank you. We don’t currently have any codes but are working on some new things coming soon.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY thanks…I’m ready to buy a kit so hopefully it’s soon!!! Should I go 6psi kit or 12psi I kit? 100% street but the price jump is $1500-2000
@Anthony L Go big or go home. You will regret not giving it room to grow.
Around how much horsepower is Retro Fox pushing? Except for the engine block and pistons, your setup is close my '93.
so violent !!!
Lets see some dyno content.
I can't wait to put a t5 in my 66 mustang. 3 speed auto just ain't cutting it.
That was the best move I’ve made so far on my 65!
@BREW2L I'm just looking forward to the overdrive lol. Found a guy in Chickasaw that buys a sells a bunch of foxbody parts so if you need anything lol
Just wondering what your tire set up is on this fox?
lol, that t-5 is taken a beaten
Lol yes it has
Take the Retro to the dyno let’s see what’s she putting down with that mixture you’ve concocted…
I wish I had a dyno close by. I’d love to dyno all the cars
Come to NWI and I'll hook you up
At 540 it looked to hook good there different concrete or asphalt?
Yeah different road and the tires were warm.
Hell ya. You bringing her to Ford take over?
Probably gonna try to bring the 65 this year
Shld have BigDogs Porting do the Lower intake
I need to ✊
Driver Mod 101
I cut her some slack this time 😂✊
did you put your battery in backwards or is it me? reason? lol
Yep. I only paid $25 for it. 🤣✊
Love that car
Any suspension mods? Still spinning nittos already
So how would you compare the Sve heads to other main brands?
They seem to make plenty of power with this setup.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY I run them also the seen to be doing good! Just wondering how much power them heads can handle.Also how do you like the 3.73 gears vs like a 3.27 with your boosted cars.We nearly have the same set up but you car is definitely more volition I love it.
what do u think it will run at the track
I'd run retro fox with my na stang
👀
Where did you get that intake from
Tire size?
Now if only keep tires from spining , get her to hook up. Sweeeet. They are snakey and kick out too much , until tubbed out. Then they hook up. Fun times
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
All it has done is *lists everything in the engine bay*, that's it.
hows gas mileage lol
Smiles per gal 🤣✊
Sell it?
Gotta keep this one
😳😳😳🫣🫣🫣🔥🔥. Not many words today. But Dammmnnnn!!!
missed a couple of stop signs there bud.
Down here they are just suggestions 🤣
up here you're going to jail. commie ny.
Stop signs, where we’re going we don’t need no stinkin stop signs
No cop no stop
One of my favorite cars! Love the retro!
