More Power less money?

PJB420 · May 5th, 2008, 11:09 PM

I was wondering what are the best ways to get power out of a 1991 5.0?? I already have MSD Ignition and distributer and flower masters with Cats...What are the next steps??

gears

nitrous.

fastford3388 · May 6th, 2008, 01:41 AM

+1 on the gears

N2O is overrated IMO

there really is no point in nitrous unless you are going to be going to the track every weekend using it

otherwise your doing bad things with it

+1 on gears they wont give u more power but it will put better use to the power u have.

if its a manual get a pro 5.0 or steeda shifter asap
subframe connectors
off road h or x pipe
intake manafold
headers
suspension

then u can gut the bigger things like heads cam nitrous exc...the spending is endless...welcome to the fastest,most frusturating and most fun money pit of your life!!

pretty much all the bolt ons. get gears then once u can launch without spinning then do some upgrades to the power.

work with what you got then build from there, or be like me and have a butt load of power but still cant beat a stock 5.0 cause i cant put it to the ground. now i have to play catch up on my traction....

how are you doing bad things with it?

I was replying to his question he said more power less money not anything about gears/.

gears- richmond, motive, yukon, ford racing
short throw shifter- steeda, mgw, pro-5.0, hurst
sub-frame connectors
shocks, struts, springs
cold air intake
headers
o/r mid-pipe

and little things like doing a tune up, setting the timing, putting synthetic fluids in it...

trust me mine is just a decent cam, rocker arms, right timing, full ignition and good fuel system..and mine will spin all the way through 3rd gear with ease with stock 2:73 gears...spinning isnt winning..get it to the ground...control arms, strut tower brace, better tires...get traction then get more power..everytime you spin spend less on power and more on planting it..work power up together with traction...traction can be your best friend

nitrious is increased power at a given time

therefore its only use is really racing

which belongs at the track

Speedstang302 · May 6th, 2008, 11:45 PM

or whenever a mild 5.0 races a stock 03 cobra...you could need it them..whenever you're a major under dog
