1993 Ford Mustang LX (Powerdyne)
So this is my first and only V8 Rwd car. I bought it from the original owner 4 yrs ago and it had 110K km. It currently has ~145K km. It is mint and I enjoy it.
At the time it had:
-Powerdyne PD10 blower making 5psi,
-3.55 gears,
-Cobra HD clutch,
-alum DS,
-JBA shorty headers,
-fuel pump
-FMU
I took it to the track (Race City - 3600') and I think it did mid 14's at 96mph or so. I can't remember but it wasn't that great, and I was still on street tires.
I then made a CAI and installed:
-Flowmaster Force II Catback
-Pro-M 70mm MAF
-FMS 30lb injectors
-TwEECer ECU,
-Auto Specialties 7" Crank/Blower Pulley (6.5psi at 5500rpm)
-High cooling 2 core rad
The car made 335whp and 358tw on a Dynojet
I took it to the track on street tires still and managed a 13.71 at 102mph
Next I bought a used Edelbrock intake manifold and 75mm TB.
I had the car redynoed and it made 318whp anda 340tq on a Mustang Dyno. Notice the boost curve in yellow.
I picked up some MT Sportman Pro tires for $100 and traded my original exhaust tips for some rims to mount them on.
I went to the track and got my first 12 and first sub 2.00 60' time. The air conditions helped quite a bit, since my mph was up since my last time there.
I went back to the track some months later with no changes to the car, but on a very good night for air conditions. I let the car cool down and when the car launched on the first pass, I knew it'd be a good one. When I got my timeslip on the return route, I thought they mixed mine up with someone elses. at 12.62 at 108mph! The 1.745 60' time I got blew me away, I don't know if I'll ever get another one that good with these tires.
If things come together this year, I'll be putting some aluminum heads on and be going for the 11's. My fuel system may not have room for more power, so a new fuel pump and bigger injectors might be req.
