Induction flow question

PNYXPS66 · 08-18-2002, 04:41 PM

I cannot find the info anywhere, this is my last hope . . .

What is the factory rated induction flow for a 1988 2.3L mustang LX? I think it's about 400 cfm, but I cannot prove it. Any help out there?

Thanks in advance for the info.

I don't have any documentation, but my professional estimate is 325 - 350cfm, max.

Take care,

Thanks again pkrwud! You helped me once before. I didn't know a woodie could be so helpful!

My 88 2300 is half apart and have found the cam to be scarred from someone elses neglect in earlier years. I want to go with a little more performance cam and am researching whether the 1.89/1.5 cheater valves will fit with the stock piston reliefs. I'm using a computer dyno program to get some roundabout figures of HP ranges for different cams. The CFM rating for the stock TB was killing my accuracy. I also plan on fabricating a cold air induction system (po' mans mods) to aid in the performance arena. This isn't gonna be a true racer, but I'd like it to be a little "sleeper" off the line when I'm done. I've already had the T-5 worked and have the motorsport aluminum driveshaft installed. Any suggestions you would be willing to afford me would be appreciated.

Man, I had a 2300 Pinto that I did some head work to, but that was 13 years ago, and I don't remember any of it. My last Pinto was worked, too, but it was a 2000cc. I have heard really good things about Crane's #199511 cam.

Take care,
~Chris
