Mustang Configuration- Power, Torque, and Speed

I would think that the only way to truely do that would be with some kind of veriable timing. Kinda like vtec only domestic,more expensive, and not as reliable. I feel dirty now.

So on a more serious note, Definately gears, but if you go too low then you won't have much top end. 4V would be the way to go and you would definately need a power adder. You would probably want a forged bottom end. A kenny bell sounds nice considering they make full boost at 2k, that would be good for the bottom end and the 4V would be good for the top. Having it bored a little to increase ci or have it stroked.


The easy answer is forced induction. SC, Turbo or Nitrous.

as to Krly79 comments of gears, maybe 4.56 would cut max speed, 4.30 or 4.10 will only get you there to the top speed a little quicker, mostly in the lower gears. Once you get going , gears keep you in a better power band.
From a roll, at 55 mph, I don't think acceleration is much if any better than before gears. I am just in a different gear and rpm at the same speed.
