    How would this perform?

    Ok, so I was talking to this guy in my neighborhood about my car when he made a suggestion. He, by the way, is a mustang guy as well only he is running a supercharged 306. Anyway, he said he started with the 4 banger and moved up. He said he has the tools and parts needed to turbo my car...

    Throttle response?

    Do you mean the 65mm swap I have read about? Also, is that knocking normal when you bump up the timing too much or what?

    Throttle response?

    Can anyone give me some ideas on how to increase my throttle response on a 2.3 NA? It looks like I am not going to be able to do a turbo swap for a while so I am just going to tweak my NA. Already found a ranger roller cam with lifters and am going to make a CAI. Also going to do some porting...

    New wheels!

    Umm....So what happened to the old ones? I know this guy (me) :nice: who desperately needs new wheels. Nothing is uglier than the stock 14 inch lx wheels. Just curious.

    Cam question.

    Ok, so I want to upgrade my 88 2.3NA to the Ranger Roller cam. I was wondering what else needed to be changed during the process? I need to replace my lifters, so do I need to use the stock ranger lifters or is there another recommended style? Also, I was looking at Racer Walsh and noticed...

    Chilton's question.

    Mine is EFI not carbed. I may have misunderstood you but I thought you said mine would be carb. If not just ignore me.

    Chilton's question.

    Well, I was in my driveway a couple of days ago messing around with my car when my neighbor comes walking up. He hands me Chilton's for 1989-1993 Mustangs and says I don't need it anymore, do you want it. So I said sure. The thing I am wondering about is my car is an 88, the manual is 89-93...

    Engine noise and Idle question.

    Ok, so when I first start my car in the mornings, cold or hot weather, I have 2 things happen. First until my car has been running for about 10 minutes I get this lifter tapping sound. I thought I may have to pull the valve cover and set the spaces on my lifters but why would this only happen...

    The most I can do to my N/A, no turbo or nitrous.

    Yeah, I am going for what James said. This is my everyday driver and I am not going for race speeds, just want a peppy work car. So, as of now I am planning the cold air and exhaust. I will have to find a tech article on porting the head, but I would like to do that. Also will look into the...

    The most I can do to my N/A, no turbo or nitrous.

    Ok, like the title says, what is the "most" I can do to N/A engine without going turbo or using nitrous? I have been able to find random threads about different things but I was hoping to just them all in a good list. I have noticed a lot of guys here have all their mods in the signatures and...

    What to do with $500?

    Well, I am in the process of selling my Jeep. 1980 CJ5 $3500 in North Carolina(shameless plug). Anyway, I am allowing myself $1000 of that price for my car. The first things are wheels(ponies I hope), a paint job and a higher flow exhaust. If I shop wisely I might be able to get all that for...

    Temperature question.

    Okay, over the past week I noticed that when I turn my car on my temperature gauge goes to the middle, half way between hot and cold. It does this as soon as I start my car, not after its been running or anything. I double checked the wiring but nothing is messed up there. I am guessing my...

    What should I pay for this?

    Hello all, well I am currently an 88 LX guy but have a good lead on 1996 Cobra. The guy selling it is the orignal owner, has kept it garaged, it's black and has about 8,500 miles on it. The car belongs to a co-worker of mines husband, and she told me to come by and look at it and make an...

    I need more horsepower!

    Ok its driving me crazy. I have one friend who drives an 04 Lightning and another who drives an 04 mustang GT. When I hop in my 2.3 it just makes me sick. So.....what can I do with limited money if anything? I always check Ebay and found a T3 turbo and exhaust manifold for $50. I know its...

    Throttle body swap?

    So am I correct in assuming that this will only make a difference on a 2.3T and not N/A?

    Throttle body swap?

    Ok, I searched the forums but didn't find anything. Am I going crazy or can you swap a TB from a mid 90's stang on to the 2.3 n/a? I thought I read that someone did that but forgot who. Is this for turbo only and if you can do it to n/a what kind of gains do you get? thanks
