Hey all, new member , Bill , here from South Eastern Pa. Been lurking here for a while. Finally decided I should join Lol
I own an 86 Mustang Gt convertible. Bought it as a roller in 2010, took me little over a year to get it back on the road Been constantly evolving ever since. This one has been deemed a keeper. Owned a lot of hot rods over the years but this car checks all the boxes and has become part of the family.
Some details : Engine is a .030 over 302 for 306 cubes,XX block, all forged internals, 9.25:1 compression, FMS iron heads with chevy valves ported and polished, E303 cam advanced 4 degrees, Holley Systemax intake port matched, 42 lb hr injectors, 75mm t-body, Kirban adjustable regulator, converted to 89 A9S pcm and 80mm MAF, Powerdyne supercharger pulley’d for 8-9 psi, UPR power pipe, Astro T5 trans, Spec stage 2 clutch , BBK shorty headers and off road H pipe, MAC 3 inch pro dumps, 8.8 with FMS posi and 4.11 gears, Anderson Motorsport PMS series 4 tuning it, Cervinis cowl hood, converted to 95 Mustang 5 lug front brakes and 5 lug axles and ranger drums in back, Hurst shifter, Monster tach with shift light, boost gauge , AEM wideband ,Anthracite Bullits with 235/40s up front and 275/40s in the back. I know there is more I am forgetting.
plans for this year, install my sub frame connectors, convert to 3G alternator and go with Megasquirt ( probably Microsquirt due to limited funds ) Hoping to learn more about tuning here.

Pete, it made 412 hp and 377 ft lbs on my old intake set up. Hadn’t been back to dyno with this intake but don’t expect a huge gain. It has run a best of 12.24 at 116 with me snoozing at the tree and spinning tires badly. It’s just a very fun street car.
