I was at the track last week and talked to a guy that runs in a class that only allows "stock" mustang 5.0 to enter. He said his car stock would run 12.80 w/ tires. What sort of tune up could someone do to increase the preformace of their 5.0? Where should you gap your plugs, advance the timing ect... Doing alot of small things can make a big difference. Is there any way to eak out more power for cheap, just tuning things up? I know I've done new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter, and changed every fluid on the car. Anyone know if anything else could make a difference... PLEASE TELL US :-)
