ok, i'm trying this again, my first post was in mustang talk, not tech, some one put wrong thread, which i assume meant i was supposed to post my intro and questions here, in the tech section. i could/nt really tell a difference between tech and talk as the talk is usually about tech....lol....maybe it's just me, to much grease under the fingernails over the yeras has made me mental......go figure.
new to forum, love cars, particularly fords, have always owned older ( 79 and older ) cars, but always wanted a 5.0 and wanted something newer, so last week i purchased a 91 gt with aod. i origunally wanted a stick, but the car was nice, price was right, and i really don't mind automatics after their built. i was going to get a 5 speed and mod it a little and leave it alone, but since i have an aod, i'm going to have to mod it a little more to get it where i want it.
the car has subframe connectors, k&n in stock box with silencer removed, msd blaster coil, under hood brace with corresponding brace underneathm and 3,27 gears ( i have 373's on the way ). equal lenth shorties with h pipe and cats into flowmasters(what else...lol)...
i have done alot of research and am getting my stuff together with this efi stuff, but had some questions to ask. my ultimate goal for this car is to have almost perfect drivability, run mid to late 13's on the engine with the aod, and the air conditioning intact. i must be smog compliant as well.
has anyone used any of the power pluis performance manifolds or tb's i see so cheap???? the manifold is kinda an edelbrock knock off i believe.
next, i need to know how big o parts i can put on this thing relatively stock ( heads and cam and computer ) and not have driveabiltiy issues. for example, i know a 73 mm maf, and a 65 mm tb with the 19 injectors would be ok, however, if and when i upgrade the heads someday, i may wish id gotten a 76 maf and a 70 tb. can i use a 76 and a 70 on it like it is or should i err on the safe side and go smaller??? also, if down the road i need to replace my injectors, can i run 24's on it or are those to big with the stock cam and heads and computer??? i'm trying to not have to buy parts twice as i go along. any coments appreciated........

...some people have actually lost a .1 or .2 at the track going with 410's from 373's...
)...keep the 65mm TB...better throttle response and it is good up to 400hp...
