SD questions

hardheadfamily · 04-08-2009, 10:53 AM

I know this is not a mustang question but there seem to be a lot of people that are very knowledgeable. Here is what I have in my 89 Ranger 2wd. 86 non H.O. Speed Density with an AOD from an 86 Grand Marquis (the car was cheap complete) no A/C no smog pump, all else is stock.
I have been reading a lot of info about using an Explorer or Cobra intake and gt40 heads and a cam with the duration of no more than 114 because of vacuum issues.
Would this work with my non H.O. engine and would I see any significant increase in power, would I need to upgrade to 19# injectors I believe mine has 17#, and would I need an adjustable fuel regulator, more gph fuel pump, headers, dist, coil, and wires?

I am looking for some specific info. on what combos might work since money is tight and do not want to just through money and parts at it that wiont work.

If the EEC you are using was meant for 17# injectorsyou beter stick with them. You might want to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator for some added pessure if yu need it. The EEC will not tune out the added fuel if the engine needs it.
