help! gutless!
ok I know this is going to sound very vague...I bought a 1994 mustang GT automatic and it is slow as all get out! I have recently put under drive pulleys, equal length ceramic headers, cold air intake, and bigger throttle body(70mm). The car was slow before all this but, these parts only changed noise and absolutely no noticeablespeed! I've taken it to a ford dealership twice and a local shop 3 times and that cost me a LOT of money (got me no where) so I need as much help as possible please! I stomp on the gas and it just has nothing! I had the transmissionchecked out andaccording to them it was fine.a 4cylinder stock civic beats it off the line! Horrible!!! All I need is somewhere to start please!! Thank you! OH and the mustang only has 55,000 original miles!! im so frustrated!!!

Get gears first, 3.73 or 4.10 choose your poison, next get a good set of heads and an aftermarket intake manifold. You should wake your car up good from these upgrades. I did all of that for about 1200 bucks and picked up good power from it.

what are your plans for the car? if your staying on the street and need to pass cali emissions i would stick with beefing up the 302. I'd say gears, suspension, and HCI... then see how you feel.

alright thanks I think I'll do that ! I heard that the 1994 gt's got a crap computer... could this be causing me problems? I thought i could maybe replace the computer with a fox's?
