weaksauce

fixed :D

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

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

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

wow, thats superweak, oh well.

i have a set of 3.73s...

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

The whale tail robs your power

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

lol where'd u dyno it?

ahhhhh the multicolored crusader

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

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.

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

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 :)

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

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.

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.

oh well. heads/cam 306 what?

at least it sounds good :shrug:

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

haha!


ford FTL once again :lol:

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.

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

347 stroker FTW!
