radiator, smog-pump, plugs and wires
Helo everyone, this is my first experience in a chat room. My intentions are to gain knowlege and on how to costumize my mustang. I own a 92' lx. I have a couple of questions concerning what would be the recomended upgrade for a radiator? (aluminum, 3 rows)
There is to many companies out there. Is there one of preference among the mustang buffs? I also want to supercharge my ride in the future. I would like to slowly upgrade all the components in the car to match with the horspower gianed by adding air boost. |

Welcome to the Board.
As far as customizing your Mustang, can you give a little detail about what you've got done so far? Or are you completely stock? Recently, there have been several posts concerning quality radiator brands. Just check the first few pages of post topics - I'm sure you will see at least one or two good threads. I personally have a Griffin radiator. Very nice piece. Cools very well and looks sharp. Good luck, E

Thanks for responding, I will check it out!
My car's specs. 160 kmiles stock motor. When I purchased the car, it came with a few goodies: centerforce cobra clutch, K&N air filter, an upgraded fuel pump, nitruous, chip, rpm tach, and H-pipes. I have not added anything to it, yet. |

nitruous...ummmm...do you mean nitrous? What HP shot are you running?
With 160K miles I would first rebuild the engine. With miles that high, I would with think a blower would be risky.

An a-trim blower might work on a block with higher mileage, but it is always better to prep your shortblock with stronger rods, crank...ect as far as the radiator, i bought a HD radiator from pepboys, it is bigger, and works just fine, it might be a lil heavier than a griffin, or one of those high dollar ones, smogpump can be removed, but you may need it for emmisions testing, or if you have catylytic coverters, also, you might want some rear gears....
