Suspension or Tires.
Do more with the power you already have.

good lower control arms and subframe connectors is a great start. to answer your origional question about making more power, there's nothing better than a set of heads. everything you do is limited by the flow of your heads

If you are a T-top like i am i would also recommend subframe connectors like Stangfreak said. They helped me alot with flex on the car, since we have T-tops it has a little bit more flex in it than most Mustangs our style. I noticed the difference. Also you can get them pritty cheap too. I found some Weld ons for like $60 bucks or so. I woud go Weld on, IMO. Heads can get expensive some cheaper options would be the GT-40 heads and intake from say a junk yard, ebay or Craigslist. I believe they cam in explorers from 98 And up ( someone correctly if im wrong please ) But you can get those pritty cheap and you will notice a difference in preformance as well. Also i would recommend upgrading your clutch cable, at least in the 85's they were made of a plastic or nylon composite and will strip if your ride the car hard to much. You can pick up a good clutch cable and parts for Around $100. And they are made of steel. But that is only if you have a Manual tranny. Hope this helps a little! Good Luck! |

Like Borden said the headers are a must and the gears need to be in asap. you will love what you get out of the header alone.
