If it's not fast enough for you then start planning your upgrades and looking at condition of the shortblock by doing a leak down test.

hey im in az, what company are you from?

I have pretty much the same setup as you i think, heres a vid of my e303. Does it sound like this?

YouTube - '89 Mustang 5.0 Startup, Idle, and Walk Around. (E303 Cam)

fateisajester · November 15th, 2008, 12:38 PM

oops, i didnt see that you had a vid of your car on the 2nd page

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 12:57 PM

Yea it does sound like that. I guess the upload took a bit out of the sound, but yea very similar. I just took her around for some fun....and she pulled hard in second and third. Definitely not completely Stock with what I have in the sig.

89StangGT · November 15th, 2008, 01:15 PM

Sounds cammed to me. Thats a long ass shifter, how do you grab gears with that thing?

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 01:25 PM

LOLOL.....Well I am tall so its not a problem for me and sits just right. Although I do need to change to a short shifter from somewhere. I will still keep the top of the shifter because I like where it sits. But As far as the shifter itself, it has to go.

Thanks for the input guys.. Now I have to figure out what it is. But then again I am going to get some new heads anyway so when I get them and install them, I will pull it and see what it is.

89StangGT · November 15th, 2008, 01:33 PM

Lol I'm 6'5'' and I didn't have any problems with mine. I had a Steeda Tri-AX they are a real nice shifter, very short throw. It was nick hooking gears quickly.

JTS · November 15th, 2008, 01:35 PM

Deff sounds cammed to me!
Nice car by the way!

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 01:42 PM

Thanks JTS.......

Yea I am 6'3 so it fits right. I will look into a Steeda Tri as well. Get on Corral shopping network and see what I can find. LOL.

93hatch · November 15th, 2008, 04:43 PM

take it to a track

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 05:33 PM

Yea i was thinking the same thing. I will have to see if the local track is closed for the season or not. And if its not its only an 1/8th mile track. So you guys will have to do the conversion for me. I dont know anything about the 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion. I am use to the 1320. Thats all I have ever raced. Gotta wait till I get my drag radials then I will hit the track. Only reasons I am getting the Nittos is for drivability after the track. I dont have an extra set of rims to put ET streets on.

93hatch · November 15th, 2008, 05:36 PM

my nittos are finally about done, had them since april and have made maybe 20+ passes on them, if you want a tire that lasts good choice

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 05:46 PM

OK. Great..That is what I am looking to get. The local tire shop here quoted me 310 for them getting the tires and putting them on as well. I think thats a goo price considering they are around 160 per tire I think? If I can find some used with some good tread on them that would be even better.

93hatch · November 15th, 2008, 06:15 PM

what size are you getting? Steeda Autosports | Ford Mustang Suspension | Ford Mustang Performance | Ford Mustang Tuning | Ford Mustang Cold Air Intakes has them cheap as well

sixxxshoooter · November 15th, 2008, 06:32 PM
