I wanna go fast! HELP!

McMustang5.0 · October 30th, 2009, 05:03 PM

So right now I have a 1984 Mustang with the 5.0 in it. I have added a weiland tunnel ram, 2 600CFM four barrels, the biggest cam I can have with out notched pistions and some headers.

I cant put a bigger carb set up cause it just wont take that much fuel so I'm stuck(i've already tried 2 650's). I dont know what else thats under $300 bucks to make me faster!

Any sugestions?

good god thats alot of carb

M L Struck · October 30th, 2009, 05:31 PM

if you want to go faster go back to one carb, one of the two you are using. That thing has to have gas running out of the tailpipes. I have 1000 cfm carb on 436 inch motor.
Dual carbs are for looks not performance.

Make more money and stop slapping in "the biggest cam I can have with out notched pistions "

Tell us your budget/goals and be ready to pull that stuff out

McMustang5.0 · October 30th, 2009, 07:18 PM

Hmm. well I had a demon 1050 on it for a while and a nice $500 ford racing manafold and it was running low 14's. like 14.2's. After I went to the duel 4's I broke 14 seconds(down to 13.99). I've tried a couple different cams. with no result.

Any suggestions on a better cam or better fuel dilvery? I have $500 cash. What can I do? i wanna go to low 13's.

89Fox351 · October 30th, 2009, 07:22 PM

are you looking for engine upgrades only? if not, i'd suggest some suspension work or gears

89Fox351 · October 30th, 2009, 07:24 PM

to take nearly 1 second off your time on a $500 budget seems a little difficult in my eyes... although i'm no expert

or you could just pull a bunch of weight out of your car, and put a 95lb girl behind the wheel!!

baine21225 · October 30th, 2009, 10:05 PM

for $500 you might as well start taking things off the car and buy a nitrous kit. as for the cam, this should be the last piece of your engine, it ties things together so to speak; and ideally this would be a custom grind

baine21225 · October 30th, 2009, 10:06 PM

a set of gears would be my next investment though

McMustang5.0 · October 30th, 2009, 10:25 PM

So, I should go 4.11's instead of my 3.73's? Maybe pull out the spare?

baine21225 · October 30th, 2009, 10:36 PM

I wasn't aware that you had a 3.73 setup, what are all of you mods to the car thus far?

Burn'nRubber · October 30th, 2009, 10:54 PM

If your goal is low 13s, some weight reduction, gears, stickies, and the driver mod should do the trick...

McMustang5.0 · October 30th, 2009, 11:48 PM

When I ran my fastest pass I had/have a 3.73 rear end, Headers, Tunnel Ram, 2 600CFM Holleys, custom exhaust, huge cam, mickey t. drag radials, 4 wheel disk brakes. Full interior including full size spare tire and jack/lug wrench. my girlfriend in the passenger seat.

I think I will run again without the girl and the spare tire, maybe do a longer burn out.

If yall have a better set up than my duel 4's and tunnel ram let me know.

I just found a pair of gt-40p heads with headers for $200, should I buy them?.......would they fit my 84 stang?

flattusmaximus78 · October 31st, 2009, 12:08 AM

If your trapping 106 I'd work on the suspension. You have the mph to go 12's, you just need to find the et.

McMustang5.0 · October 31st, 2009, 12:51 AM

whats ET?

Just think, if I ran at sea level i would go high 11's!

baine21225 · October 31st, 2009, 01:06 AM

if you have stock heads then the gt40p would be a great upgrade, have them rebuilt, maybe a valve job, shedding weight is never a bad thing, and get some suspension going on

McMustang5.0 · October 31st, 2009, 01:29 AM

Thanks man! I will call the guy tomorrow and get my dad to rebuild them! Much appreciated!

93hatch · October 31st, 2009, 02:47 AM

sell you a set of P heads for 400 shipped

McMustang5.0 · October 31st, 2009, 03:54 AM

hahaha no i got some for $100, Thanks though man.
