i did a charity event today and paid 30$ for 2 runs and the cash whent to joy junction. a local charity
it's a 88 hatch 5.0 mustang gt with
-cold air intake
-mass air conversion
-off road h-pipe
-flow masters 44's
-alum drive shaft
-short throw

all mods were done by prior owner except the h-pipe and flows.
the eng has 218,000 miles on it with no rebuilds. it has a stock 5-speed and stock gears

i did 2 runs and got 185.65hp and 248.22torque
then on the 2ed run 186.4 hp and 246.15 torque
i post pics later

How do you guys think it did? i think it was prity good condicering how stock it is and it's age.

what would you do next?
i have a set of 3.73's waiting in the wings

Pretty good for a near-stock 5.0 with 218k miles on it. Check the compression on all cylinders (first do it dry, then repeat with a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder). This will tell you how much compression you might be losing past worn piston rings.
The 3.73 gear would be a very good mod to do regardless of the health of the engine.
