5.0 mods
I purchased a '90 GT recently. The car is exceptionally clean except for some faded paint on the hood. The driveline is bone stock w/AOD and won't get out of it's own way...it's a little down on power. I was thinking about a head & intake swap, but not sure if this would require larger injectors. I would like to keep it all Ford, GT-40 heads and Cobra intake, 65mm TB, 70mm MAF from FRPP...
would the 19#'s support this or do I need 24's?, if so, do I need to do anything with the ECU? ...any suggestions? |

Re: 5.0 mods

Re: 5.0 mods
Install an adjustable fuel pressure regulator so that you may increase fuel pressure accordingly. I beleive this will hold you. 24lb injectors would be a great idea, but are not neccessary. As for the computer, nothing NEEDS to be done. Just make sure to purchase a MAF calibrated for 24lbs if you do go with larger injectors.

Re: 5.0 mods
thanks for the advice...
I sold my GMC Syclone last year...this car is a lot easier to wrench on, cheaper too. |
