hey guys i am receive 1600 bucks next month from scholarship money, but because my tuition is paid i will be getting 1600 dollars in a refund check for myself. just looking to see what yall would do with it. heres what i have. edelbrock top end kit with heads intake and cam, 3.73 gears, cold air intake, full exhaust (down pipes are smashed in a lil from the previous owner), shorty headers, 70mm tb and spacer, spacer for upper intake. dyno at 240hp and 260tq. i think the numbers were a lil low because of the lack of fuel, i have all the air flow from the top end, but no extra fuel maybe??

heres what my plans were, subframe connectors, 6 point cage because it is a convertiable and i need one if i run faster than a 13.9, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pressure gauge, world class T5 swap (auto right now), fuel pump (mine is whining). after all those i should still have about 700-800 bucks left over... thinking about saving up a lil and building a 331???

whats your guys' opinion?

not a big turbo fan, sooner or later want to do some sort of forced induction, but not yet. i am too much of a rookie to have that much horse power, i want to learn how to control 300hp before i am running 600hp. my first time to the track will be in a week and a half. i just dont want to have that much hp trying to learn, thats all. i have considered it tho

dude your numbers are complete shit, especially the tq thats about as much as a stock stang puts down, go to a diff tuner

[95StangMX]

if I were you I would send the money to me.....lol...and I dont see any mustangs in that year putting down those numbers they are not far off....

[95StangMX]

its not a MAF is it....you might think about doing a MAF conversion if not could be holding you back a little bit

yea your numbers did seem a little low for the mods you have.... just those heads alone are good for about 50hp or so

umm i think it has a big deal to do with the amount of fuel i am not recieve due to stock fuel pressure and yet wit hall the extra flow of air. it has a MAF on it. 88's came stock with them??

88 had them stock if it was a cali emmissions car, and i say call a tuner and set up a tune date

[88Saleen]

im almost positive it has MAF on it. but what would you guys suggest i do, or do you think what i listed would be a pretty good start to the build i already have?

[cam302]

You need it for when you have forced induction later so don't sweat it.

Take a pic of what you think is the MAF and post it. I agree with everyone, those numbers are on the low side for having that top end kit. I would get some 24# injectors and a MAF cal'd to them (after you verify that you have a MAF car) and upgrade the fuel pump, then have it tuned. Also, depending on how bad the pipes are crushed in, that could be hurting you too.. take a pic of that too if you can.

haha i dont plan on doin more to my car after the tune honestly

255 pump, 24 or 30lb/hr injectors, matching maf, long tubes, shorty off road pipe, udp's only cause you can find a set for like $20... use that adjustable fpr... and then, maybe look for a used bd11a or something, it's easy to install, and it'll push you well over that 400 hp mark when you're ready for it...
