    whats next?

    Have you hogged out the E6? What's the specs on the T-3? Cam? I would port the E-6 or get a header and do a good 3" downpipe. This won't get a lot of power but it will sure free up the engine and help with spooling. I think you are at the point where you need to spend a bit of money...

    what should i do next??

    I was under the impression it is running fine. Get an IC, that fuel pump and regulator. Priority 1. A stock T3 should not need bigger injectors than 36lb. Next I would do hogged out E6 or header Once again, forget the big cam and injectors, wth a stock head and turbo, you could...

    what should i do next??

    Hi 13's! Lookin at your mods you should just about be there man. What's goin on? Have you got an IC on yet? There's your power, in the boost and timing. Personally , I think auto-cross and drag are 2 different cars, but if you can do it, hats off to ya.

    TC springs == Mustang springs ???

    Well I would guess the back end would be up about 2" higher cause of the longer TC spring, and the front would be 1" because of spring rate. Disclaimer; this is only a guesstamate. I would not put money on it.

    what should i do next??

    Get the header. You'll love the early spooling. If you are auto-x'ing the Ranger Roller is right in that rpm range and cheap. Save the big cam money and injectors and put it towards a FPR and adj cam sprocket. Raise fuel pressure a little and play with cam timing. I dont think the LA3...

    TC springs == Mustang springs ???

    They are different spring rates for sure, especially the 87-88 birds. The rear would be up in the air because of length, the front would sit higher because of spring rate.

    '76 2.3L w/ turbo??

    ya, they did, but not much power. You could probably make more with a cam, Offenhauser intake, and Holley 4 bbl ;)

    Where can I find a 7.5" trac-loc type kit?

    Yes, Rangers had this factory "option" and maybe early Aerostar's, but later they went with 8.8" didn't they You should be able to get one close to home

    Where can I find a 7.5" trac-loc type kit?

    Be Ford specific too. I got one in an 86 TC but it would cost too much to ship it to ya. You've got good junkyards up there anyway in Kelowna.

    Gears!!!

    When you get the 4.10' s look at the width of the teeth. That is what I meant by shavings. They are narrow!

    Spark plugs

    Blaster coil and MSD6a, I wish I had the BTM but I think I need an SDS system and bigger injectors more.

    Gears!!!

    I think we agree buff, but what I'm saying is if you break it don't rebuild it, replace it! Or if you wanta change gears, just swap the whole thing. The gear selection and availability of 8.8 alone is worth it to me, not to mention when you get to 4.10 or lower the 7.5 fades away. 4.10's on...

    Spark plugs

    The only way to know if you need low temp is read the plugs. Plugs, like oil, seem to be a personal preference. I've even run platinums with no problems for over a year, but I have MSD components. But since you ask, I like Bosch,.... Coppers are good .

    Gears!!!

    >>is that the stock one for the 91 stangs? how long would i have before i break it << That's kind of a loaded question. How could anyone guess? :shrug: That's why you will get people saying leave it in there, it's good enough. It may never break on you and you will be one of the people...

    TIMING

    What about an adj cam gear? I don't know what cam you are using. Stock cam is pretty good to red line of 6000 so unless you want to bring it on early or late and remove rev limit? It shouldn't be your priority right now. With 19's you still need more fuel, and even more under boost so run...

    Gears!!!

    If you have an open diff (non trac lock) you are spinning the spider gears to beat hell. So in short, yes you are doing damage.

    Gears!!!

    As stated the spider gears usually go,........ from doing burnouts with an open differential. 8.8 has bigger clutch packs, spiders and more support, cheaper readliy available gear selections. I have yet to find a good cheap set of 4.10 or higher in 7.5" but 8.8, right here in my local hi...

    TIMING

    Well you need more fuel under boost too, but what computer you runnin? Mustang or LA3 from turbo coupe? Wich injectors? If you run the MSD with boost retard you could run more boost but you still need more fuel and could also use forged pistons if you want to see 10 lbs boost. Forget the...

    Getting exhaust tomorrow please read!!

    2.5 is fine for a tailpipe but you will need larger downpipe and mid pipes. The full setup depends what hp goals and turbo you are going to be running anyway. IHI or small T3 would be fine with 2.5 but i would still run 3" DP. Save your money for the turbo, you will just notice a power...
