So I just bought a '93 GT..

It has 140,000 miles on it, but it in pretty good condition.

It's got a..

BBk Cold Air Intake
24 lb. Injectors
Magnaflow exhaust
shorty headers


I'm looking on sites like 50resto.com and americanmuscle.com for ideas of what to add to it as well.

I'm thinking of..

BBk Underdrive Pulley kit
Throttle body? but I don't know what size would be good
Mass Air Meter, but don't know what size again..


You guys have any more suggestions or comments on what I think I need? I'm new to all of this, but really excited.. I'll try and post pictures in the next few days.

I'd really appreciate the help!

The MAF and T-body are useless upgrades until you do cam/heads. The stock ones will flow enough for a stockish engine. I would get gears and some full length sub frame connectors. They will make a HUGE difference in how the car feels. Much tighter and the ride gets much nicer as well as better handling
Post some pics of it so we can check it out! Also an off road H-pipe will wake it up some more and give you a wonderful tone with the Magnaflows. H-pipe=deeper tone, X-pipe=raspier racy tone. As far as hp they are the same, maybe 1-2 hp more for the x-pipe but the H-pipe makes better power down low (so I have been told)

24# injectors on an otherwise stock car??

Do you have an aftermarket MAF or a chip on there as well?

ok...some edits I should make..

The guy said there was a new AFM, but it says Ford on it, so I don't know whether that is true or not..

The exhust has a sub-frame connector on it, I just talked to a mustang guy and he said the ehaust had it, but I don't think he said anything about a H-pipe.

It does have gears (sorry, i forgot) they're 3.73

I dunno why he put the 24's on..from reading around it seems they're useless for me now, so I dunno...

Also, where should I look for cams/headers? Any suggestions on what kind I should look at?

Whats an AFM?
Why is there a sub frame connector on the exhaust?
Why do you want different headers? Are yours rusted?

your gonna want a x pipe with those magnaflows, trust me. get some sub frames, a shifter, lower control arms, and youll have a fun little ride.

Sorry, typed that up wrong...I'm doing like 5 things on here at one and did the wrong initial. Just meant the Air mass meter.

and I mean intake, not headers :/ I read around to try and get some off of v8 explorers?

You mean Mass Air meter.


Yeah same thing, but people generally call it MAF here

If the car has bigger injectors then it needs the matched MAF to run right. Can you give us a picture or ten of the engine? Because it must have a cam or something (not to imply I can tell if it has a cam by a picture but if it has heads and a plenum then more than likley it does)

The car has an H-pipe from the factory but is very restrictive. Sub frame connectors connect the frame, not the exhaust. Look under the car and see if there is a bar welded to the sub frames running underneath the seats.

The intake you are referring to is a plenum and its called a GT40. It is a good plenum. Really though you need to know EXACTLY what you have before you start modifying it. You can really mess it up and you could also be duplicating parts that are already there.

Get some pics of the engine and under the car and we can help. Take the wheels off and snap a shot of the shocks/springs and the rear control arms. Take some pics of the full exhaust too.

You sound very new to all of this and I would suggest just searching on here and learn about the parts first.
