Hello everyone, I'm new here and wanna say hello!
I've had this V8 1985 Mustang (link in sig) and it's just sitting in the garage. I don't know anything about Mustangs so I thought I'd jump in here in hopes to get assistance in building a great Street Driven Stang.
So what typical bolt-on's do you guys start off with?
I was thinking of starting off with a cold air intake kit, headers, x-pipe and a decent cat-back. I see alot of stuff for a 86 but nothing much for a 85 and earlier. Not sure how different the two are? I'm in the dark with what manufacturer to go with and who has the best price and quality? I see all this BBk stuff. Hmm, So I'll need some advice as to what websites and people to go through. I'll start searching threads for info in the meantime.
So what usually breaks down on the cars or needs special attention or what should I mod out first? I also have no idea what power this car does right now or will do with bolt-on's. I have no idea as far as a goal since I don't know numbers but anything over 300+hp sounds like a good start. What the biggest Cam I can use with stocks heads? Wow, I probably have alot of questions but any links to other threads or stuff you have time to talk with me will help me out alot. Like I mentioned, I'll look around and see what I can dig up in your forum.
Thanks,
mike
