I am just beginning to restore (and improve!) my 87 GT, I am the original owner and at present it is bone stock with the exception of a K&N air filter, a deleted fenderwell silencer, Centerforce Dual-Friction clutch, Steeda quadrant and adjuster kit, and Triax shifter. Of course, I ordered it with every option it was possible to get except leather seats, including the 3.08 gears in place of the 2.73's. I had to wait three months for the T-Tops, and three more for the Premium Sound package! (Ford said it was pre-empted by the Lincolns until they could ramp up production- jerks!) I have been driving a company car since 1995, and haven't put 100 miles on it since then. I know, I know, family kids bills etc.
My question is, how much horsepower can you get out of a speed-density 5.0 before you have to install the mass-air conversion kit? That's a chunk of change, I'd like to put on as many bolt-ons as possible before I fork over $500 to FRPP! Any former speed-density guys (oops- or gals!) out there with experience in this?
P.S.-Steeda Competition springs and Flowmaster 3-chambers are next in January- can't wait!
P.P.S.-Anybody like BBK equal-length shorties?
