95 Probe GT & 2000 Mustang
-
www.roadraceengineering.com used to sell the aem stand-alone system with 3 different prices.
- $10k if you want something to amaze your friends that will help you build a 10second car
- $3500 if you think that this is the only way to make xxxhp
- $1400 if you are concerned about how to adjust your fuel pressure on the fly, account for large variations in altitude, etc
the questions weren't that simple, just stuff i pulled off the top of my head. basically, if you were buying the stand-alone because of fast and the furious than you deserved to get raped... but if you had some idea what to do and weren't just jumping on the bandwagon... see where i'm going with this?
caleb knows what's what, he'll help you figure out what to do if you ask him the right questions. BUT, if you go in (any performance shop) saying that you want your base model mustang to smoke your cousin's viper, have 2 15's in the trunk, convert it to a 5spd and still be reliable enough to get to class enery morning... he's going to send you away with a scary price (and if you are stupid enough to buy at that price, he'll be happy to take your cash).
do some reading to compare superchargers to turbos on v6's, figure out some realistic goals and what kinds of prices to expect, then go in with some intelligent questions. i guarantee that you will be talking to a completely different guy and getting different answers.

Thanks, I will read up on as much as I can online. I have an 89 Honda Prelude as my dd and my fiance has an explorer as her dd so the Probe and the Stang dont get drivnen that often. I want show and go for the stang, If I can hit 12 or 13 I would be happy, nething better than the 16s it does know.

I'd have to say don't ask us what you should do, you definitely need to do the research, just because one guy on another forum did this huge swap or this turbo, or this tranny, doesn't mean you can easily. Buy a "5.0Mustang and SuperFords" and/or "muscle mustang and fast fords" from Cashwise food get yourself an Idea of what you want, then ask if people have had any problems with the swaps. I want the most hp out of a 2 barrell carb, it's pointless to a lot of people, so is doing anything to a v6. stop asking the questions, immerse yourself in Mustangs for a few months. I've been immersed in mustangs for 10 years or so. and that was without those nice publications. You WILL find out what you can or can't do. Make up your mind, and above all, don't listen to too many import guys, they do know a little about mustangs but what is their core knowledge? Imports. Thats their thing. SO Research, comprehend, understand, and then get feedback about problems. Then join some mustang forums and learn more. I'm not posting on this thread anymore if there aren't any better questions. You have my advice.

Thanks CCR I am subscribed to Modified Mustang already....guess its time to subscribe to a few more. I used to be into only looks and what not that why I have the tails and neons...the only other thing I want that serves as appearance only is a body kit. Is anyone else here a member of the Norhtstar Mustang Club?? I recently was invited to join, so I did....just wonderin if any of you guys are in it?

Headlights on the other hand can be changed and look better, just depends on whether or not you want to. Right now im considering dropping $$ into my headlights even though its a waste just because im sick of the fogged drivers side headlight and both of them have screws missing from the accident so they sit at awkward angles and i cant see shit at night out driving. Leave the back end alone though (wing/tail lights)

I was thinkin of takin off the side vinlys and puttin the stock mustang decal on, also I was thinkin bout puttin Steeda interior trim pieces in.....headlight knob door locks, etc.......wat does everyone think of that??? Does anyone know what shows look for in cars to win prizes????? Like HIN and SCN? or even tintmasters and autvations and stuff like that??
