cant decide

ks_emt · May 25th, 2007, 01:46 AM

well i cant figure out what to do with the mustang i have. i have wanted another 5.0 for a long time but then again im really thinking about the turbo 2.3 because of the gas price thing. what should i do? i want more than just what opinions you guys have i want some facts to back it up.

MSO · May 25th, 2007, 06:51 AM

well, the SVO got the same gas mileage as the 5.0 when it came out.. so gas price shudnt really even be a factor

now if u want weight advantages.. go wit the 2.3T

TurboLX · May 25th, 2007, 04:21 PM

go with the 2.3T because there faster then most 5.0's and just straight up cooler, and original, Just because everyone else has jumped off the bridge doesnt mean you have to to

MSO · May 25th, 2007, 08:36 PM

y wud u even come into this section of the forums and ask that? lol

wut kind of answer u think ur gonna get from the 2.3 guys?

5.0 its bigger so its better

ks_emt · May 26th, 2007, 03:13 AM

well im looking for facts such as mods and prices to compare and what would be cheaper and more economic these days

MSO · May 26th, 2007, 06:44 AM

ohhh the 5.0 is def cheaper and much cheaper to modify

but in terms of power, ull get tons more for ur money wit the 2.3

economy is about the same tho.. i wud go wit the 2.3 simply cuz it weighs less and makes the same power

lol

cams-shelbycobra07 · May 26th, 2007, 11:33 PM

okay then why dont the drag cars run 4cylinder

cams-shelbycobra07 · May 26th, 2007, 11:33 PM

And the bigger motor always has more potential on making more horsepower

sure does..

swap a 2.3L volvo head onto the 2.3L mustang and turbo it

a DOHC 2.3T wud put out crazy HP like u wudnt even believe

then u jus sit back and watch the 5.0s wimper home, blowers, nitrous, and anything else they can pack on their bigger-pontential-engines

cams-shelbycobra07 · May 26th, 2007, 11:59 PM

doubt it it would be my notch

TurboLX · May 27th, 2007, 01:51 AM

umm hey buddy, im making 500 or better with my 2.3 and if you go on over to TurboFord.net, you'll find hundreds of 2.3's that go faster then 9 seconds, like for example, Jon Huber's 1000hp 2.3 runs 8's, John Dell Blair,2.3 SVO 700hp, runs 9's, Fred House, 2.3 Pinto runs 8's 849hp, Dave Flanders, 2.3 750hp, 9 seconds, and thats just a few to name, and there are lots of 4 cylinder drag cars, i know your new to the whole car scene but you should be careful of the 2.3's, they may sound like nothing but theres a beast in them waiting to be unleashed

cams-shelbycobra07 · May 27th, 2007, 04:50 PM

Yea thats quick but if you setup a V-8 like that it will destroy the 2.3 and im sure your gona tell me its cause its bigger

dude, are u even old enough to drive? wit that kinda knowledge, i wudnt put u behind the wheel of a honda, let alone a shelby mustang..

of course its gonna make more power if u put a turbo on a V-8.. and yes it is cuz its bigger

but its cheaper to turbo a 2.3, and thats the point of the whole thing
