No Bottom End
Ok, my mustang as it currently sits seems to have a huge bottom end decrease in power..
I know the 150,000 miles has something to do with this but want a low cost bolt on.
I CANT EVEN PEEL OUT! [
] Ha.
(kind of post-whoring right now but new to the sight, have a lot of questions)

RE: No Bottom End
Haha, naw, kept it lightweight.
I guess the car not being able to peel out could come in useful when racing it, but its annoying to go full throttle and feel like a 6 cyl, then i hit about 30 mph and car kicks in.
I was thinking about gears but im 16, dads only response is "why do you need to go fast" ha. Also, heard they put the gas mileage to about 12 mpg..ouch.
I stopped on a wet road today with friends and said im gonna peel out, car took off, driver..embarassed. Ha.

RE: No Bottom End
I'm not sure a stock 94gt will burn out... I drove a few and they seem a little weak, at least compared to a fox. I just wouldn't aim to burn out, only worry when you think your not making the power you should be, then start trouble shooting. Check up on your ignition for a good spark, that could be hurting your power..

RE: No Bottom End
also with 150k your compresion probably isn't fantastic. Go through and do a whole tuneup, distributor cap/rotor, fuel filter, air filter, get some Techron fuel injector cleaner (comes in a black bottle), oil change, try 20W-50, that might help it run a little smoother too.
