I bet your luck would change with a little help from TFS or AFR. I see this all the time, all kinds of mods but yet, stock heads.

your average fox is a high 14-16 second car. they are not fast stock or lightly modified these days.

And you solution is to buy a DSM You know they make less power stock than our 5.0s!?!?! (1st gen anyways)

Here is what IM thinking... what makes people THINK Dsm's are fast? Put whatever that is on your mustang and actually BE fast

If you dont know what im talking about... well.. I dunno what to tell ya

I was going to say the exact same thing. Good set of heads & cam plus a little power adder would be a hell of a jump in power.

You need heads, With the mods your car has, if its 5spd you should be in the mid to low 13 second range, somethigns not right.

Heads, or for a little more money, throw a 6lb blower on it. That will wake it up!

There's also nitrous. It's kinda cheap untill you start filling up bottles like a crack head. 150 extra horses should put a smile on your face.

I just bought a 98 5.9L Jeep Grand Cherokee. I know I can hang with stock 5.0L's. And it's a grocery getter.

I second third forth fifth you needing a set of better heads, you are choking your engine with the stockers.

Sounds like something is holding you back in you'r setup, I also see you do not have a cam and you have stock heads. If you have the money and don't want to tear you'r engine down.. get a 255in tank pump.. a blower, a good tune, and be done with it! (OTHER OPINIONS MAY VARY! DONT FLAME ME!! THIS IS MY OPINION! LOL)
