Now I've heard this from a couple people before and believe it to be true but.. it kinda limits you to the amount of boost you run. I've heard that some folks run 12# of s-trim with no problems though. That seems pretty good but... I'd still get an 89-92(I'm crazy like that
)
I've also heard folks say that putting a computer from an aod car into a stick car will make a difference. The aod computer is more aggressive, that's what I was told a long time ago. The 93 Cobra computer is supposed to suck... this is all hear say that I never personally tried myself(disclaimer).
My 89 speedo only goes to 85 but the build date on the door says Nov/88, that could be the difference.
Mach1, how's the kid?
