seat of my pants.

mustangdan · May 11th, 2007, 08:18 PM

ok i asked in another thead about fork in the road, or whatto do with my pony. well let me put it this way. what is goingto give me the most "BANG FOR THE BUCK" or "SEAT OF MY PANTS" performance. like wheni put the carb and headers on...WOAH! it really hauled ass!!! so what else should i do for the same feeling? EVERYPNE is screaming cam. cam cam cam. ok. so what one. i need one to work with my stock rockers, cuz i do this car piece by piece normally. nothing with too harsh of a lope either. something that says i got a cam but not that "deiseling" lope. also what can i expect from a good mild cam, 4 or 5 hp?

HMUSN · May 11th, 2007, 08:19 PM

10-15 from a mild one.

nitrous

mustangdan · May 11th, 2007, 08:56 PM

HMUSN · May 11th, 2007, 09:00 PM

Gears help to brotha.

mustangdan · May 11th, 2007, 09:12 PM

yeah about that. with the roush i had, all i did was retune it. whats the deal on teh recalibration. i need a new (________)? is it in the rear end or is it in the trans.

HMUSN · May 11th, 2007, 09:14 PM

I am not sure what you mean.

the gears are in the rear end and a tuner fixes the speedo if thats what you mean

mustangdan · May 11th, 2007, 09:16 PM

yeah so how do i recal the speedo? is there a gear or spool or what and wear ? to recal the roush i used a tuner. what about on this?

HMUSN · May 11th, 2007, 09:22 PM

there is a "speedo gear" that you can buy to fix the speedo on older cars.

HMUSN · May 11th, 2007, 09:23 PM

just google mustang speedometer gear

then find the one for your transmission

they are like 20 bucks

Horseshoeing · May 14th, 2007, 05:57 AM

You could goto the dealer and tell them what rearend gear you have and they can match it up for you. Its pretty easy to swicth out.

Gears will give you more bang for the buck depending on what's in there. My white car went from a 2.75 to a 3.73 and it was like driving a new machine.

You change a gear in the transmision for the spedo and it's very simple. You don't have to pull the transimission or anything. It's 10 minutes max.

mustangdan · May 25th, 2007, 08:09 PM

yeah but my issue is the c4 tranny. it already screams at highway speeds. so i dont want to go to low in gears.

B Mad · June 10th, 2007, 07:47 PM

I run 4-11's with a C-4 tranny. She goes like a raped ape out of the hole, but she's at around 4500 rpm at 65 mph, If your not comfortable with that, you might want to rethink gears. Higher gears don't make a good cruiser. Heads, a mild RV cam, maybe a good intake, might be a better choice.
