i was also thinking gears. i need to know the bad side and the good side of putting gears on my stock 2.3.

so tell me what yall think

TurboLX · July 18th, 2007, 01:41 PM

get a roller cam from a Ranger, nice upgrade without changing anything

93fourbangerstanger · July 18th, 2007, 01:49 PM

ok kew

so what gears were u saying i should get? i forgot.

3.73?

MSO · July 18th, 2007, 02:21 PM

3.73s are fine

Ga_50_foxbody · July 18th, 2007, 02:26 PM

I agree but here's the thing unless you go an 8.8 rear end 3.73 will spin the hell out 1 tire ... which is moderately cool but I need badass I want both tires wrecking shop.

but for real power I think you should get some stickers on the side of the car dude.

replace your hood , and trunk or hatch with cardboard this will make you lighter.

replace your seats with bolted down milk crates .. and toss as much as you can under the hood that will allow the car to crank and run .. thats gotta be at least 100HP gain right there dude.

all moronic statements aside, u can get a t-lok for a 7.5 too

and i wudnt get an 8.8 for a n/a 2.3.. its heavier and wont exactly be any type of improvement in performance..

TurboLX · July 18th, 2007, 02:37 PM

if you go with an 8.8 it will spin both tires with 3.73's

MSO · July 18th, 2007, 02:39 PM

top 3 improvements for n/a 2.3s

1. air intake
2. ranger roller cam
3. gears

TurboLX · July 18th, 2007, 03:09 PM

and nitrous

not moronic just innovative. Out in Arkansas thats how they roll them stangs. And if you doubt my words go on out to Pine Bluff and ye will see what I mean.

But I live in GA and crap like that will not be tolerated @ all.
Im going to give this ranger roller cam a try and see what it gives me my main issue is that I seem to keep losing Vacuum so the little stock power that was there fades in and out.

93fourbangerstanger · July 18th, 2007, 06:02 PM

lol yall crack me up

Ga_50_foxbody · July 19th, 2007, 02:33 AM

Vac. lines keep coming loose. And then my car starts to move like a crawling turtle. It is already slow enough without them lines coming loose.

TurboLX · July 19th, 2007, 02:44 AM

Ga_50_foxbody · July 19th, 2007, 02:48 AM
