Yes, get the one with the 15:1 Ratio. That is the one used on handling suspension which is mustangs with factory 5.0 from 1983? on. 15:1 basically means less turns from lock to lock (turning the wheel from one side all the way to the other), which in turn makes it more sensitive to slighter steering wheel turns. In other words it makes the steering feel more responsive, instead of like an old cadillac.
