First off thank you stangnet members, bought my car not running for $1200 and with your help it came back to life. Anyways I'm looking for a jump in power,
The Goods:
1988 Mustang LX 5.0
New performance brakes,
I have 4.10s in the back,
underdrive pulleys,
k&n air filter
and a pair of
glass packs on the exhaust
Explorer intake on its way
There is also a performance cam installed of unknown origin, I can say it does through the speed density computer for a loop at idle at times but not too bad. Car is also an AOD.
So basically the car is stock minus the gears outback. I am looking for advice for the next step.
Goal? Honestly I dont know, would like the car to be a low 13's car so I figure 300-350hp would be required. So how do I get there? Got about $2000 for some toys for the car so I think the first step would be cylinder heads? Trickflow,AFR? I dont want to be notching out valve reliefs in my pistons, can I still use AFR? What about my speed density system? will there be issues? Injectors, throttle bodies, fuel pressure regulators.
Also note I am in Saskatoon Canada and getting some parts are a royal pain in the butt, would be great if I could get some advice to where to purchase some parts from. Others that are not Jeg's or Summit Racing, those I know of.
Thanks in advance
