I agree with M.M. Alexander here. I put ported J-302 heads, matched ported
and
epoxied runner Ebok intake, custom cam based on Crower 15512 cam, 24#
injectors, 190 lph fuel pump, adj fpr, 4:10 gears and many other goodies. I
have a
12.5 or better running car now. Faster when I get the chip and a good set of
slicks. I
would be plain puking if I spent 3500 for a $$$ roots type blower and only
saw high
13 sec passes. I will buy a new Mustang after my MP settlement but my '87
will be
the one getting the stroker motor and go fast goodies. The dollar per hp
return value
is nowhere as nice today with the new modular motors as the old 5.0 302
engines
imho. My old boss has a '98 Cobra. The car is a pig below 3500 rpms. My 302
revs very quickly from 2100-6500 rpms. Red line is 7000 with my cam. It is
sad that
my '87 can walk the dog on his car that costs big bucks. Someone better wake
up the SVO team soon and wrestle control of performance from the bean
counters
at Ford, or the Mustang will go away just like the camaro that is being
discontinued.
