new to the stang board
 

hey guys, new to the stang board, but not new to tech, I'm lookin forward to buyin a stang real soon, somewhere from 86-93, I'm looking for something thats fuel injected, not speed density controlled, MAF preferably, and something thats got forged pistons (what year were those that came with forged pistons?) and anyone got any info on how much juice those 302's can handle?
thanks a lot guys

can't help you with the nitrous part. If you want one with mass air and forged pistons that would be '89-'92. Speed density was from '86 to '88 (california got mass air in '88, though) and in '93 the HO was switched to hypereutectic pistons. also i believe the '86 had single to dual outlet exhaust, unique small port heads, pistons without valve reliefs, smaller injectors and throttle body, and 200 horsepower (25 less than '87). good luck on your purchase.

aright thanks a lot, l appriciate it

A 150 shot of nitrous is about the maximum. I've seen guys pushing 500 horses on a juiced untouched bottom end, but it's a bomb waiting to happen. Don't forget to bump up you fuel requirements!!!
