    I have a 91’ 5.0 with a Vortech supercharger along with other numerous mods. My car has been in storage for about 5 years so I have kinda fallen out of the mustang game but want to get the car back into the swing of things. There are a few thing that I never changed or upgraded. 1st is the FMU that came with the Vortech. I hear that they are the bottom of the list for controlling fuel. I also still have the stock “untuned” computer and 24 lbs injectors. My last dyno was a little over 400 at the wheels so it’s not a total dog but I know there is room for improvement. What’s a better set up to go with these days? I’m not looking at pouring a ton of money into the car so any advice would be appreciated.

    I am sure people will say 42's and a custom tune to ditch the FMU and that would give you a little more power and drivability.

    Still having idle issues. Seems like there is a vacuum leak but i have checked all hoses.... I think.

    Im going to run an air fuel meter and vacuum gauge. What does a motor with a blower, heads and E cam usually show for for vacuum?

    What about the air fuel at W.O.T?

    no stock advance is 10 degrees. Most 5.0s run the best with 15 degrees but from the factory is 10

    i think he was refering to vaccum readings.

    and my car with TFS heads f-cam and intake makes about 12-12in at idle.....
