out goes the 04' Cobra, in goes the 93 LX H/B
I have been a member of this forum for many years now and had a 2000 GT, then sold for a 2004 Cobra, now sold that and now I just purchased a 1993 LX. Always loved the older 5.0's and this was too good of a deal to pass up. Mods listed below with a short video also....motor is built for boost and I am thinking ProCharger or Vortech down the road. Let me know what you guys think. Car has run an 12.5 @ 111mph pre heads/intake and new MSD stuff, made 310/335 before the TW heads and intake went on and was not really tuned. I am thinking with a good tune maybe 350/375 and possibly get in the 11's.
