Good Evening all. Been a while since I've posted, but I try to read up here from time to time.
I'm getting close to finishing up the suspension work. Since shocks, struts, springs, etc. were 26 years old, I started with that and have it in pretty good shape.
Thinking of my options to get a little more out of the engine now. I'm not going to take this car to the strip. I love to feel the pull from a dead start and really have no interest in running 150 mph. That being said, just looking for some of you more experienced people to chime in with some experiences and opinions. I'm thinking of going with an intake from an Explorer because they are cheap. Curious if GT40 heads are a decent upgrade or not? Been looking around and it would appear that a set of GT40s are not that much less than some of the more popular aftermarket. Can/will certainly upgrade fuel pump, injectors, etc. I guess what I'm thinking is if I'm not trying to break some dyno numbers, would I be better served to go with above suggested intake, heads, and possibly a different cam? Or, would I be best to leave H,C,I as is and just add a supercharger? However, it kind of looks like most superchargers available for Fox stangs are kind of more for top end gains?
Other than 3.73 gears and brand new upgraded clutch, running gear is stock. 76K original, documented miles. I of course love this car and never plan on selling, if I can help it. While I appreciate originality I also love to customize and make things mine.
For those of you that have decided to stick around and read this long, I'm curious as to your thoughts, opinions, experiences if you have the time to offer them. As always, thanks kindly in advance!
