I would go with a reare end rebuild which includes a track-lock rebuild, gears, and a deluxe install kit. Get those 3 items and you will have a nice new rear end functioning brand new with a better ratio gear of your choice. If you want to put a blower on in the future I would suggest 3.73 gears. Good Luck.

Get yourself some gears in the rear end. I got 4.10's and it's the best thing I ever did. Hell if I was you ad you claim tight budget, why supercharge just get yourself some N2O. Way cheaper than a blower. [patriot]

Actually now that I have read your post it says you CANT install a blower becasue you are on a tight budget. My bad.

I still reccomend you getting 3.73 gears for your fox. Leave the 4.10's for the modular motors. We actually have torque [Wink] . Plus you have an 88 i'mn sure the rear needs a rebuilt track lock.

you've done all this to your engine, but one main thing that you are forgetting is gears. stock gears arn't shit, go with 3.73's. [Wink]

Man you don't even have Cold Air Induction, or a bigger mas air meter bro. Zex 125 shot is pretty nice on a stock motor too [Big Grin] Hope these help a bit!

Thought since you are on cafords.com that you have the ca mas air. The link goes to speed density also if your car ain't!
