N.O.S. Wet sys. 600$ and get the power you want. No brain-er. My bottle lasts a long while and I get mileage and dependability. You can always mod from there.

I'm not taking this car to the track any time soon, I don't need a whole lot of power, I simply want modest power gains with bolt-ons. I will probably supercharge or add nitrous in a year or two when this stops being my daily driver, so that will come later, but definately not now.

Now who can tell me what a K member is, and what the hp/tq gain differences are between shorties and LT?

Kmember




It goes here




Hope this helps some

I think I got it. If that's the part I'm thinking about, then yes it scrapes like a son of a gun. Will that tear the long tubes off or damage them, or will it just cause aesthetic damage?

The k-member is the cradle that holds the motor in. The Motor mounts bolt to the k member.

I decided to park my car on top of a speed bump last night and take a close up look. A normal speed bump will not cause my car to scrape, however the larger speed "humps" will nick the K member. The really nasty speed bumps near schools and hospitals will get me, but I can avoid those. With some careful driving, I'd say long tubes are a go. Time to start putting money aside.

I would at least consider chaging the gears to 373's. That is not an outrageous set up and it certainly made a difference in my car. At 80mph i'm pushing 2700 rpms.

Just curious why can't your daily driver have a supercharger setup? Have it installed and tuned by a pro and run 9 or less pounds of boost.

[BD5034]

It's not just a daily driver, it's a commuter car, a LONG commute. I already spend outrageous amounts of money on gas - I don't want to make it any worse. That's why.

I'm on my third mustang with LT's and they're low, but common sense and careful driving avoids any issues. My car is lowered and I still don't have issues.

Oh, and of all the mods to get for a 2V I think gears are the first one to do. Best seat of the pants mod out there imo.
