RE: modded but still guttless! why?
no my cai does not look like that. it is a ebay brand, i could not see any harm in getting cheep metal tubing to carry air to my car. haha it was 45 bucks shipped!!
i dont have a computer to look at any code on my car, ill prolly have to take it in.
MY MISTAKE..... IT WAS A DYNAMIC MUSTANG STICKER ON THE BOX UNDER THE KICK PANNEL!!!

RE: modded but still guttless! why?
I have highlighted the things that are making your car soo slow..also maybe you have a rocker that is slightly too tight....a 76mm maf with a 65mm t/b with make throttle response more crisp
ORIGINAL: vtecwho
ive had my 93 fox gt for a year now and love the thing to death but there are a few things that dont make sence to me.
first are the mods (gt40 upper and lower intake, msd 6a, accel, msd 8.5 wires, cai, FULL exaust, all chassis stiffiners and FRPP B springs, roller rockers, and #24 injectors, 70mm tb. and an "i love *****" sticker. haha) with those mods it still comes close to my friends 99% stock 87 fox with 200,000 miles on it. WTF
second, i was changing the spark plugs so i went to autozone to get new ones and i got autolites for STOCK 93 5.0 heads, took em home and they did not fit! i took them back and the guy asked me if i have stock heads and as far as i know i DID or at least untill now. haha. the plugs that fit are autolite 764s.
the heads i have look like they would be stock, they dont have the aluminum look like AFRs or anyothers of that nature. a mechanic even said the looks stock.
with all the bolt-ons why is the car still in range (power wise) of a stock 5.0??? AND does anyone know what heads take those autolites 764s??? because now i cant get different plugs with out knowing what type of heads are on there!!

RE: modded but still guttless! why?
there is a knocking in my engine, i think it may be a semi collapst lifter. it does it sparatically (spelling) tho. well, it sounds like a ticking anyway.
i did notice that in the hatch there were mounting holes with a distance from each other of what a nitrous bottle would resemble...hummmmmm. ive know about this for a while and the car still runs strong but may have contrubuted to the ticking!
