I would look to get a bigger throttle body and egr spacer. At least 75mm to match that maf. Will help with the sc down the road.

I removed the EGR and blocked it and put in a delete plug to keep the CEL out. Air pump and all associated hardware is removed/capped too. I don't need the EGR spacer with the cobra intake correct? Any recommended throttle body?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I like accufab. Best on the market. Bbk is more affordable but it has a whistle to it must people don't like. On the up side you will sound like you already have boost.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

I don't run an egr spacer on my eddy intake.. I do use the 1/2 inch plate to hold the throttle linkage.

I forgot the cobra has the internal egr. No need to run a plate.

The Crane sticker has to add 20 hp on its own.

That was added by the PO. If that's all it took to add 20 hp I'd paste them all over the car

I put all my stickers on my compressor tank and my toolbox. They are both about 400 hp each...

FYI, my comment wasn't directed at you, and yes, you can run a T5. My intention was to battle misinformation that seems to be showing up often lately with new member's posts. Most people know that you can get away with a T5 with a warmed up engine if you treat it right.. However, to the uneducated, the general statment "A T5 will handle 400 hp" is false.

Sorry for the interruption, I like your car!

That's an accurate statement. My 347 has 400HP. I've had no problems on the street because the car won't hook on street tires. Dragstrip is another story. 50 passes if i am lucky. I started with two professionally rebuilt T5s before I learned to repair them. If I rotate them out at least once a year before they get too loose so far I haven't suffered catastrophic failure. Tremec manufacturers them and I believe they are rated for 300 or 325 torque on their website. That's about right IMO. .

New member here and looking for some input. I bought an '89 hatchback a while back and have been having a lot of fun with it. Car is mildly modded and I've done quite a bit of upgrades to it myself. I would like to get to about 400hp eventually. The car is just a weekend cruiser I like to take out and have some fun with.

As it sits these are the current mods: B303 cam, Y303 aluminum heads, 65mm throttle body, T5 trans.(being rebuilt or replaced this winter),adjustable fuel pressure regulator, 30lb injectors, 3.73 rear end, sub frame connectors, aluminum radiator and contour electric fan, off road h pipe with warlock drag mufflers, all new brakes, 130amp alternator upgrade, SC wheels with 245/45/17's up front and 275/40/17's in back and more that I'm forgetting.

My question is, what is the best way to get to my goal? I'm thinking supercharger but being in the middle of North Dakota, dyno's and tuners are not easy to find. So I'm open to suggestions.

Oh, no worries I enjoy the input from everybody. Back when I owned my first two Foxbodies, the internet, parts and information wasn't nearly as easy to find. I like the fact that you and other enthusiasts are around and willing to share information with others like me. That and I'm a little older and have a little more expendable income and a nice shop to work on my hobbies make this Fox way more fun than my others

What I read is "opinions not welcome, the sheep are always right". Whatever dude. Sorry something you disagree with requires you to put on the blinders. Good luck, your money not mine.
