Yes they are faster I know first hand I would say about 1 - 1 1/2 car lengths faster stock for stock.
I think on the 87-88 stangs the cam shaft was a little different too Later,

SD vs Mass Air Mustangs
Yes. The Speed Density 5.0 Mustangs were about a 1/2 second faster in the quarter.
That's subjective to tuning, track conditions and driver but in a SD/Mass Air 5.0 Mustang race, all other factors being equal, I would bet on the SD 'Stang to win, no doubt. |

Nice try
No. Read the track times of the many car mags. Compare the '88/'89 models to the '90 models.

i drove an 87 stock. it seemed to have a little more grunt to it. as for faster? i wouldnt know, i never raced one. it just felt it had more power to me. from what i experienced with the gain in power, i would have to say yes, but cant back it up.

Bone stock the SD's were/are faster, the only problem with them is once you start modding them and get the air flow too high (over about 300 hp) the computer can no longer calculate proper A/F ratios so it won't run properly

yes, but they are limited to their capabilities.... Mass air can be modded big time, where SD has it's limits! But there ARE some fast *** SD's out there!
Remember, Mine was SD before I did the conversion

Back up your statements instead of talking trash......What can you do with your car that I cant do to mine. If you know what you are doing speed density isnt bad at all. At the track the guys are always telling me I would have beaten you if you didnt have speed density. IMO speed density is superior on your average heads intake combo. Later,

i dont know for sure but you all say that the sd was faster than the mass air but i would much rather have the mass air over the speed density, you cant do much to sd cause the damn computer.
