fixed :D

it is a starting point i guess. wasn't that thing supposed to have a little work into it already?

[GP99GT]

ford motorsports E303 cam...thats about it really. but im starting to doubt even that

[Ian]

I have a 302 laying around that you could build up :wink:

[foff667]

wow, thats superweak, oh well.

[V]

i have a set of 3.73s...

[baddest434]

pretty weak numbers, ever do a compression check on that car?

[Savage_Messiah]

The whale tail robs your power

[enRo]

I think thats what my 86 TA wouldve dynoed at, running on 7 cylinders :lol:

[mtg6486]

lol where'd u dyno it?

[Savage_Messiah]

I think thats what my 86 TA wouldve dynoed at, running on 7 cylinders :lol:ahhhhh the multicolored crusader

[Bandit]

Damn my Honda puts out more HP..lol j/k but not about the Honda.

[r0nin89]

Wow I'm pretty sure a 5.0L stang should give you a 250hp base. They are definatly more powerful than an L98 out of the factory and thats like 230hp. Somethings up.

[GP99GT]

maybe its the dyno, i dont know. there was a pretty worked 80s regal there too, with a 350, cammed, not sure what else...only put down 250. ill mess with it through the winter, then in march at TTP we'll see whats up

[NJSPEEDER]

L98 was 235 for a few years then upped to 245. the best the mustang got was 235 rated in '87 that was actually rated lower in 89 when they went to a mass air system.
f-body > mustang again :)

[GP99GT]

the mustang was also lighter i believe...so it evened out

[NJSPEEDER]

the LX's were lighter than most f-bodies. you coudl option an LX to weigh as much or more, but most didn't get that treatment. the fox GT's were actually very close in weight to similar year f-bodies. between upgraded/heavier suspension parts, more power features, and the extensive body kit, the GT options did more to slow the car down than inspire the performance image it was intended to represent.
most mustangs also came with less gear than comparable f-bodies. where gm was dropping 3.23's or 3.42's into most formula/trans am/z28 models, ford was putting 3.08's and 2.73's into most of their V8 equiped cars.

[r0nin89]

Hmmm this makes me think the only reason I thought that was because the 5.0 is such a good platform to build on... I just remember my cousins 5.0 that I thought was pretty stock feeling as ballzy as my dad stingray.

[GP99GT]

oh well. heads/cam 306 what?

[Teds89IROC]

at least it sounds good :shrug:

[GP99GT]

yeah thats cause my muffler fell off last night on the drive home...halfway...so i took the other one off for good measure. open h-pipe ftw

ford FTL once again :lol:

[Teds89IROC]

the biggest hp mods my L98 had at the time it was dynoed was used leaky flowtech shorty headers (****) with a catted y-pipe (2" to 3"), maganflow 3" cat-back, MSD blaster coil, MSD wires, new factory heads, airfoil (probably not much hp gain) air pump delete and thats pretty much it. I made 210 hp,290 tq at the wheels and I later discovered this "spark enhancer" I had on there (got it fior free) was throwing spark out, so I'm sure that held me back some.

[BigAls87Z28]

5.0hhhh that sucks...Maybe if you left the stock drag lights and 4 inch cowl hood, you would be making REAL power.

[unstable bob gable]

347 stroker FTW!

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

Buy A Truck!

[Savage_Messiah]

trucks suck :)

[GP99GT]

the whole dyno thing was for a truck club actually. one guy had a twin turbo cummins dodge, put down 358hp and 950tq

[Savage_Messiah]

f'in diesels... thats some nice torque

[JL8Jeff]

Sounds like it's time to ditch the Ford and get an F-body! :mrgreen:

[Kid Racer]

well i dont know but it should be pushing more then that.... i mean the ford 302 is the size of chevys 350....for mustang and the 3rd gen camaros came right around fords power cause ford motors had a smaller stroke then what the 305 did....ima 99.9 % sure on that but ill talk to rona nd make sure thats right....

[NJSPEEDER]

from teh mid 80's through the end of the fox body generation in 93 teh most power any 5.0 mustang was ever rated at was 235hp and that was only teh cobra in 1993. the rest of the cars slowly eveolved from 180hp to 225.
meanwhile the LB9 (305 TPI) was introduced in 1985 and rated at 205/215 depending what source you refer to and the L98(350 TPI) was introduced in 1987 and rated at 225 which moved up to 245 by the end of the third gens in 92.
at that point the f-body moved to the LT1 and the 235hp cobra found itself 40hp behind the base Z28/Formula/Trans Am engine.

in summary, mustangs suck monkey poo through a straw.

all of the above numbers are brought to you by :google:

[Kid Racer]

okay....but the ford 302 is the size of r 350...teh stroke maybe the same as are 305 but are 350 is stroked more or something liek that but i do knwo that the ford 302 is teh size of chevys 350....

[NJSPEEDER]

the 302 is 302 cubic inches, the 305 is 305 cubic inches, and the 350 is 350 cubic inches. the ford 302 has a 4inch bore just like a chevy 350, but the ford uses a 3inch stroke as compared to the chevy's 3.48 inch stroke. the 305 and 350 both have the same stroke, but the 305 has much smaller bores.

[Kid Racer]

yes...
