Question 1995 Mustang GT 5.0....what would you do??

ok lets say you have a 95 5.0 5spd....already has exhaust... what would you do (performance wise) to squeeze alittle more hp out of it....mods cannot be extreme, bolt-ons are a plus. what do you say? intake?

thanks all! (this isnt for me, its for a friend)

god i sound like a n00b :bbb:

Gears, tires, spray. If he's not into the spray idea definately drag radials and a 3.73 gear.

Does exhaust mean he/she has an off-road h-pipe and shorty headers? Those are nice power adders.

Gears are a nice bang for the buck. Different roller rockers, intake manifold, tb, and larger MAF should also give it some more power...but they aren't exactly cheap. Getting it on a dyno to mess with timing will also be beneficial.

in this order subframes, short shifter (either tri-ax or pro 5.0), 3.73's then worry about horsepower mods

Very good point. A good set of subframes should be the #1 priority. I think Fordspeed was running one hell of a deal for subframs & install.

Gear (not technically a bolt-on) is #1 bang for the buck. #2 CAI.#3 BFG DR's
