Default Slow takeoff

I just bought a 1993 Mustang GT. Everything is stock as far as I can tell except the air filter. I have very weak takeoff, what can I do to increase power? I can't even squeel my tires!!!! WTF

heads suck, car is overweight, motor producing 190 hp


BUT you have a 302.



Change your plugs, wires, dist cap , rotor button and coilpack ($20-40).
Now bump your timing up to 14* i bet ur at like 6 or 8 degress. try that its cheap. gears do that sluggish mess 2 lol
