You might have seen my other thread about deciding which Mustang to purchase. I ended up getting a 91 5.0 with the mods bellow. Just wondering what would be the best mod to do next? I'm looking for straight line performance just to clarify, and other than FI or Nitrous.

Tires:

-245/50R16 front and 255/60R15 rear

All parts taken off the car were sandblasted and powder coated, all rubber bushing and mounts have been changed to polyurethane.


Thats the mod list I got with the car. Only have had it for a few days. I e-mailed him and asked if it was ever dyno-tuned. I think that would be the next step if it wasnt. Cheap, gain a few HP, and get to find out what it puts down. And we have a really good Mustang tuner in our city.

I know some aluminum heads would probably help alot too. That would probably be something I would do next season. But could you recommend me a pair that would suit my engine?

Would 24lb Injectors help me?

And also, your best guess at HP/TQ and 1/4 mile

[ztweny8]

Anyone?

My goals are a evening/weekend street driver that runs low 12's on pump gas.

[GoodOleBoyzRacin]

mid to low 13's depending on conditions, and most important.......traction and driver.

100-105 trap speed

no guesses on HP/TQ (im not good at that)


that a pretty clean car. a good set of heads and a better cam will get you into the 12's. no doubt.

i recommend some sort of sticky tire

some MT street slicks are part of the plans.

What heads do you recomend for what I want to do? Dont want to have to change other parts to make them work either (intake etc.). Dont need to be the best of the best and cost a bunch, but some quality ones that give good gains.

Thumper of Orange Park Sells awesome heads. Look at some of his reviews, im getting a set soon. Just search "Thumper of Orange Park" in google

[Haggis13]

I'd lose the stock heads and throw a set of Trick Flows on it.

[Sleeper_Stang_89]

Thumper ported a guys e7's and he made it to the 12's... they guy actually won an episode of pinks... but I agree get some aftermarket heads... and a different cam...

[fordrarities]

the cam you have will get the job done, theres plenty of good heads just depends on what you want to pay....
there is a guy on corral running GT40 irons w/GT40 explorer intake not ported or anything with stock cam runnin 11.9s. You can pick up a set of GT40 heads for cheap and just get them run through and ported if you want

[Iownastang]

i would look into trick flows if i were you and if you wanna do it n/a get a cgc.
