What should I do next?

What do you guys think I can do next to get a little more power?

Thanks

Slicks maybe... or maybe it's time for forced induction?
What do you run?

mustangLX92 · 01-11-2002, 01:45 PM

I have never run it

I am planning to get to the track this spring. I want to keep it N/A for now. I was thinking about a 65mm or 70mm TB.

What about upgrading your heads or intake to something a little better?

Yan88gt · 01-11-2002, 07:38 PM

electric fan, 65 mm throttle body. A set of ported gt40 heads and a ported cobra intake can give impressive flow numbers. If you go this way i would suggest a 70mm throttle body and a cam to match your combo.

I forgot you would need 24lb injectors. Do you have the stock maf ?

24lb injectors would probably be a good idea. Electric fans will require an alternator upgrade as well. Better heads, or a small blower with the irons would be my next step.

Bigger maf, 65mm tb, bigger fuel pump, 24 or 30# inj., and an afpr. The 30# injectors will give you a little room to grow, a 70mm tb would as well if you're thinking of adding boost.

MAF (C&L makes a nice 76mm unit), 65 or 70mm throttle body, I wouldn't go any bigger than 24 lb injectors unless you are going to go with a power adder like nitrous or a blower, the 24#rs are good up to around 400hp with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator (The Kirban is a very nice piece), a 190 or 255lph fuel pump (agin the 255 if your planning on going with big power later), maybe start looking at an ignition system (I've got the Crane HI-6S), and you can look at either porting the heads you have or going with a good set of aluminums, porting your intake and maybe figuring out what cam you have vs. what might work best with your combo. Work on matching your combination as well as you can and tuning it.
