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..

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.

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.
