tuning help

[94Gt5.0]

i wanna do the tubular from end for my car but i got a ton more i gotta do b4 i can get there... where did u get to motor in ur car? ive been really wanting to find a wrecked newer lightning n pull the set up outta that n put it in my car... i kinda wanna stay away from using spray but i wanna go faster lol...

Id stay away from a L-swap, even though it is wicked cool looking. They are SUPER heavy motors, and there are alot better platforms to get imo(termi setup). The motor in my car I bought used for a real good price off of a friend of mine who went bigger/better.

Which car are you talking about modding, the orange one or the new one?

the orange one... the red one is kind of at a hault cuz i bought the orange one... ive been thinkin about just putting a procharger or supercharger on the orange one and build a motor for the red one... im puttin my c4 in the orange one till i can get some money to buy a good 5spd tranny and put the c4 in the red one... the red one i want to be more of a drag car that i can still drive on the street and iwanna b able to pretty much drive the orange one daily in the spring/summer

Nice! Id just leave the orange car alone as much as possible(I know its hard lol) and build the red one up nasty.

 

[mustanglx89]

lol yea.. i got alot of the hard work on the red one done... is got the manual steering rack, frames connected, its got an 8.8 under it... once im outta school ill have more money to throw at them

Yeah being back in school definately pinches the wallet! You ever run the red car?

I chipped my 331 setup with Motorvation. Pretty decent company. Runs alright for not being dyno tuned, although its something I want to do come spring time if the funds are there.

I looked into that but it was damn near $400.
The car seems to run ok the little bit I drove it without a chip or tune. Maybe Ill get it tuned eventually if I decide to keep the car but selling it is something Im strongly considering for next year.

Maybe prices went up.. Id just get a dyno tune for that money!

no i havnt gotten it fully together yet... my dad bought it for me as a 4cyl when i was 16 n i slowly started buying things for it but i didnt get a half way decent job till a year ago but i cant get alota hours in with school... but i gave the 306 to my dad for his mustang but we got a 289 that i might throw together and put in my car till i can build a motor for it... im very undecided on what to put in there... i keep going back and forth with a 331, 347, or a 351w... its to hard to decide lol...

Do it right the first time and build up a 351W based motor. You wont be disappointed!

 

[mustanglx89]

i was kinda thinking of strokin a 351

A properly setup 408 n/a will put you into the 11's/10's all day!
