One of my mustangs is a 88 but its stock why does it pull so hard it has no gears i would be able to tell is it becuse it is speed dyensady

my 88gt pulls pretty hard for being pretty much stock and with 2.73's, its also speed density i dont really plan on switching to maf i know i wouldnt mind a cam or some heads in the future, but for now i just want the car to run haha

As long as the cylinder walls aren't scored too bad, you can hone and re-ring your motor yourself. I use the spring loaded 3-stone hone first and finish off with a ball hone. You may also want to mic the cylinder bores to make sure they are true, this checks the cylinder diameter throughout to sleeve.
