What will be the best upgrade for $200.00 - Page 2

Unit 5302 · 09-28-2001, 07:21 PM

My car had the flame shooting no cat straight pipes when I got it. The hiflow cats actually made it a little better in the power dept along with good exhuast, but I've seen numbers posted where members dyno back to back and pick up 20rwhp. That was on a Cobra not too long ago. Now granted a 5.0 Cobra is going to benefit more than a stock HO, but not that much more.

If you look at my sig. the mods are in order as done. The radiator was on when i bought my ride. Order the gears and save some more cash for install. Talk around as I have a buddy here that does them for $100. He is a ford mech and guarantees no noice on FMS gears. Ask lots of questions, and then get other opinions. I did all mods myself 'cept gears and rebuild of posi as rebuild happened @ time of gear install. Go to one of the boneyards of NW 74 st and look into some dual elec fans as the hot summers here will take their toll as soon as the mods get more and more. Mine came from a ricer but work very well, mid summer traffic w/ ac on and she runs 180. John

90 dps.... good point!!!! we always forget the traction problems Mustang people have....

instead of looking for HP increases, we should recommend traction products!!!

yep, i take back my original gear answer, and say 'sub-frame connectors'!!!!!!!!!
