My dad is getting me an 05 GT when I move off to college. I want this thing to be a BEAST. But, I currently drive a 65 mustang, everything is mechanical so it is very simple (speaking of the engine here). But when it comes to EFI computer controlled cars, I dont know dick. When I look under the hood of a new mustang, I get dizzy. So I have some questions, any of which can be answered directly. However, I would really like to find a techsite(s) that covers the entire engine and it's supporting systems.
So:
1) Do throttle bodies open and close like a butterfly valve? If so, is this the only thing that dictates the airflow to the engine? What is a small size throttle body? a medium size? a large size? Can a throttle body be too big?
2) What is a MAF's pourpose?
3) What is the deal with an upper AND lower intake? Do they perform diffrent tasks?
4) Are these cars DOHC or SOHC? Are there good cams on the market yet? Are there good heads out there yet?
5) What is the deal with injectors rated in lbs?
6) How strong is the shortblock? What is the compression ratio? Are there good forged bottem end parts yet?
7) How hard is it to work on your own car? looks like theres a lot of crap in the way of everything.
8) Is the aftermarket doing good? how is the price (realitivly).
Have you seen this site? http://www.turbochargedpower.com/ Movies at the bottem are awesome. The site says they're going to start making kits for the 05 mustang. I'm thinking about selling the 65 for a twin turbo kit on the 05.
Thanks
