i sure like my mustang, rides comfy on the hwy, gets decent mileage and is pretty friggin quick, and my friend didnt complain at all riding in the back seat 4 hours, and he's 6' & 200 something lbs
(btw stinger, this was kelsey's stang)
esslinger is the ticket, find them
i've got a fairly large cam, and easy to find FMS A237 but its almost too big as it is and there are other running bigger now
however i prefer advancing this cam and bringing in more low end power (it'll do 6k+ easy)
esslinger billet aux shaft/bronze...
i knew a guy running 12's on a stock C3
anyway, yes the boost is prob where your power loss is at, turn it up, they ran closer to 15psi from the factory
get you some nice 3" exhaust and a K&N and most importantly a boost controller (but be VERY careful turning it, been there, 25psi once...
lol
why even bother with a V8?
my mostly stock untuned 2.3T smoked the same year GT
it has as much hp as a V8 and as much tq as a bolt-on V8, thats how it sits now....it will have more
plus it gets great mileage and cheap insurance!
what is your cam set at? straight up?
my mustang has
moderately ported head
ranger cam
ported E6
LA3
T3
3" exhaust
HUGE K&N
Starion FMIC
T5
thats how i got it...we're doing the MAF install, AFPR, better exhaust and tuning
then comes the water/methanol injection (not tuning...
