    Weakest link(s) of 2.3l?

    it sounds like you are incorporating the old supercharger/turbo debates... in which case i could mention turbo lag and that roots blowers reach full boost at 1.5k-2.0k rpms (the later being p/p'd, a well flowing intake/air delivery, and the first being our stock engines (V6 for me)). a roots...

    Weakest link(s) of 2.3l?

    Thanks for the info guys. Wouldn't it be interesting to put a small eaton twin screw blower on it after fabbing a new intake? :) We are working on a V6 mustang design and though the m90 may be too big, i'm sure we could find another source of used/recycled smaller displacement blowers. Hmm...

    3.45 vs 3.55 vs 4.10???

    well, i'm at 2,500rpms by 68mph exactly, but i'd have to say about 3,000 for 80mph. as to the power adder statement... i barely shift into 4th in the quarter mile, so i have PLENTY of room to grow. especially with slicks and a good launch it'll cut down mph and never have to worry about...

    3.45 vs 3.55 vs 4.10???

    3.45's, 3.73's, and 4.10's are available for the 7.5 rear end, which is what you have. 3.55's are only available for the 8.8 rear. If you are concerned with highway gas mileage a LOT, get 3.73's. If you don't mind getting ~22-24 mpg or so highway then get 4.10's. (I have 4.10's in my 5...

    Weakest link(s) of 2.3l?

    hey man, i'm just trying to learn, we all have to start somewhere. i know nothing of imports and almost as little about 4 cyls in general. Does the 2.3l mate to a T-5, or what manual tranny do y'all use?

    Synthetic oil, when to use???

    You can start using it right now... Just make sure you flush all the conv. oil out before you put synth. in.

    Weakest link(s) of 2.3l?

    I'm sorry, I couldn't find another thread dealing with this, though I'm sure there are others out there. What is the weakest link or links to the 2.3l? Pistons, conn. rods, what? When does the block crack, and what size are the head bolts, 7/16"s? Heck, are they opposing 4 or inline 4...

    7.5" rear - capabilities?

    here is a mostly factual/informative article with some bias on my side. (most people don't need 7.5's in a v6) http://v6stangs.addictgamers.com/viewtopic.php?t=1380

    track launching?

    it sounds like you need better rubber if you're on the edge like that of always bogging or always spinning. my old 15's were that way when they were bald. i'm not sure how it happened but a similar thing happened. if you're a 5 spd, try slipping the clutch out instead of just dropping it...
