No offence to any 98 GT owners out there, but the 96-98 GT's were the biggest performance dissapointment since the Mustang II's rolled off of the assembly line. I wouldn't feel all that proud to have beaten one of those if I were you. I saw a V-6 Camaro run neck and neck with a '97 GT once. Not a respectable couple of years for Mustang performance at all.1Slow5oh said:Ive beaten a 98 GT 5 sp.
In a word...Yes. What your car needs is Torque. 3" is fine if you're moving a lot of air through that engine with either forced induction or displacement, but it's big time overkill for a stock 302. By going so huge, it's murdering your low end torque. Even with the 4.10's it's probably no where near as potent on the bottom end as it could be. Not only that, but I'd think you'd be a lot happier with a higher stall converter than you've chosen. A 2800-3000 stall may be more to your liking and will still be every bit as streetable as stock! I'd even go as far to say if you weren't going to build the engine much beyond that, then to go back to the stock 2 1/4 and run a set of high flow mufflers or an O/R H-pipe or something. Besides a cat back exhaust on a near stock engine isn't giving you a lot of extra power anyway.1Slow5oh said:and what difference does it make if the exhaust is 2 1/2 as compared to 3??? i know its a little overkill for a 302ci engine it isent going to bring me down that horribly.[/
Since you were in a bad mood that day, I'll keep it civil. As stated above, I wasn't ragging on your ride, but meerly telling you why you got beat and how to prevent it from happening again. Bottome line, you've got too much car and not enough power to be running a 3" exhaust. I'm sure it sounds great, but it's killing your power. Whether you choose to change it, it's up to you, but now you know.1Slow5oh said:Yes well thank your for this. I dident ask for power adding advice. I dont have the money for Anything right now accually. And im not going to add smaller exhaust. Its not a fast car in the first place. But it keeps me happy for now. Being im more worried about MX. Im sorry you wasted your breathe.
Well, your signature states "Lakewood trac bars, Moroso 3 way adj. shocks, Taylor Batt Box"....which to me sounds like you've beefed things a little in the chassis and suspension end? Which again, like I said is good, but still heavy.1Slow5oh said:I dident say anything about chassis mods? so what are you saying here
