hey there. i own a teal blue 1995 mustang. it's got white boss shinoda decals, with a 5.0 HO GT engine. stock it makes 215hp and 285 ft lbs tq. i bought it with a dynomax side exit exhaust system which supposedly brought in 5 more ft lbs tq, and 15 more horses.
my questions:
what can be done to increase the performance relatively cheap? i know 'cheap' and 'performance' don't go together, so ... help? lol
also what is camming? cams?
all in all i'm tired of everyone staring at my car, and when a ricer pulls up, its everything i can do to keep up with him.

ChevyIINova answered Tuesday July 15 2008, 12:20 am: Well, first off a car that can't breath, can't run. Upgrade the stock air filter with one from K&N. Next, consider headers along with the exhaust system on it. Also upgrade your ignition, such as what MSD offers. As budget permits you'll want to replace the stock intake and TB (throttle body). Check out Jegs.com for parts. As your budget grows with car, replace gears.
Camming, cammed or cammed out, means a car who has had it's stock cam replaced. If you change cams make sure the top and bottom half can take it.
Rip all the extra crap you don't need that weighs the car down, such as the spare tire, back seat and front passenger seat. There's tons of stuff you can do to go faster but it'll take me a year to write it all down!
I'll race ya!

I almost forgot to add, SAFETY FIRST! Can't have power without beefing up the brakes and suspension. That should be the first thing you do before adding power. Also depending on how much power, replace the seats, get a harness and roll cage. [ ChevyIINova's advice column | Ask ChevyIINova A Question ]
