allright just installed gears today know i wont to up grade the motor some it is completely stock with long tube headers and flowmaster muflers. where do i start ? if you only had about 300.00 to 400.00 to sped were would it be (new mass air new throttle body new intake) or would it be better spent on a cam or something ? need input thanks
Mike IMO the best thing to do is look for a set of good used aftermarket heads......even with the stock roller cam you will be happy.....still maybe a stretch for the allowed budget....good luck:Handshake
i have no idea were to even look on the heads (you now what kind what brand you no all that complicated $hit) kinda dumb when it comes to the motor stuff.
Craigs list, ebay, just have to e careful......I would look for local stuff thatcan be inspected in person......I lookaround and see whats out there...
For $300? save your money untill you are ready to spend more. That is not a flame just some advice. If you don't want to hear that then a performance chip and a larger mass air flow sensor - but it may be more than the money you have.
hay i said 300.00 to 400.00 (not 300.00) just kiddin...........damn 400.00 doesnt buy much these days does it...........
could i do any work to my own heads seen a small write up on people on a budget porting there own 5.0 heads ? or is this just a waste of time ?
you could but from my xp they still wont be as good of a deal as good set of used if you look hard enough
PaulS gave good advice. However, it sounds like that money is burning a hole in your pocket and you do have to start somewhere on the upgrades. If you don't already have one, go and ahead and get a cold air kit. That will add a little more air to the engine to get a little more efficiency out of the long tube headers. Sir Mavowar (cough, cough, choke, choke ), er, uh, I mean Lance gave good advice about the heads. To get a set like he's referring to, you'll need around $650 (or more) and some luck. You definitely want to eyeball 'em or have someone you trust look 'em over before you lay down the folding money. Like the old saying goes, "Horsepower costs money. How fast do you want to go?"
Hi, right now can you get all the power you have to the ground? If you can't then look at some traction bars, shock, frame connectors and springs. I would get the frame connector frist. You will feel them.
to be honest i just wont to do a bad a$$ burn out..............sounds dumd i no but different strokes for differnt fokes..................so right traction is not an issue bacause im probley not taking it to the track ( i dont think).......
Is your motor an H.O. or just a 5.0? Your ECU is an OBD I system so it is a little cheaper, for that price range you could start out with a chip http://store.summitracing.com/egnse...94924927+4294908282+4294840126+115+4294906186 It will be an improvement over stock but it will not be utilized correctly until you upgrade other components also. Like your MAF sensor and it will really help if you upgrade your cam and heads.
forget the engine, upgrade the brakes and tranny. Seriously, why would you want more power if the car itself can't handle it? You won't take it to the track, but having reliable brakes can save your car and yourself giving you more time to save money to spend on the engine. Just an opinion.
not sure if it is H O or not came out of a 92 mustang been told it is a roller motor and it has mass air................your probley right on brakes been trying to get disc brakes on the front for awhile now..........i would love to put in a t-5 5 speed actually.......
