im stuck, i have 1500$$ for the stang and i dont know what to buy.
my current setup-
1988 lx
1979 357w, c4 3800 stall
crane fireball 2 cam, adj rockers
D00E heads, Ported to match offenhauser 360 intake and bbk swap headers
HEI conversion
holley blue label w/ regulator
8.8 w/ 3.73s
holley 750 dp
upper and lower control arms
sub frame connectors

my set up is nice now.. she pulls hard, i was thinking A sniper kit.... my block is a stock bottom end but new, 300 miles on it.. how much juice will it hold...
and does a converter make noise when its going bad..
when i get on the car it sounds supercharged.. any suggestions would be great... i like my ankles where there at... so if its converter id like to know...

any other ways you guys would spend the money let me know... and yes i will be spending some on a lap dance or 7

put 100 shot of nitrous on it youll be at 400 horses then. But i looked over your setup and i dont see why your not at like atleast 350 to 375 as it isunless you got a stock intake on it. In that case get you a highrise intake hook up 100 wet shot and and if you want to be pushing 400 id invest in some tires and i dont know what kind of heads those are but my cars getting a carb'd conversion right now and im puttin GT 40 ported heads on them and with my 302 custom grind cam high rise intake the heads and long tube headers with a holley 650 double pump supposed to be runnin 350-400 myself plus im gonna put some nitrous on it as soon as i save up for the kit.

i believe that the 750 is a bit to much right now....maybe take it down to 650 would get you better response and a slightly better torque curve...

also, what revs is the car pushing? at what rpm are you shifting? I would buy crane double springs just because valve float is something you dont want. Also an edelbrock air gap intake would give you some much needed HP up top.

also some m/t et street drag radials...my car changed its behaviour completely over just changing those two tires in the back, I got 255/50/16 on pony rims

a used nitrous system from ebay will cost you about 250 shipped and it will certainly hold a 125 shot without problems

hope this helps a bit...

the intake is a dual plane offenhauser 360. it specs out at 8800 rpm.. so i figured that would be enough intake for awhile... and it will float the valves at around 7500rpms... i did it once by accident... im shifting at 5500.
i have a set of hoosier quick time dot's in the rear.. lovem at 8 psi.. i can get the sniper kit for 329$ new from my dads work.. pops is a manager at advanced auto.. DISCOUNT! the heads on my car now are 1970 D00E 1.84 1.54 valves, with some bowl work and intake and exhaust gasket matching... nothing serious but enough to notice a difference. im just stuck on what to do... im thinking 150 shot for now... and get her to the track.

for the buck i would spray a 150 at it. the carb would be fine especially at the track

nitrous for sure!

your running a 351 with a stock 351 camshaft ?? ?? ??


If so, thats quite alot of power, your missing.

My starts/ stroker kit, better camshaft.or better heads and camshaft.


Either should by you a tremendous increase in performance.

I would not use nitrous on those old heads unless you have hardened seats
