RE: 91 5.0 with Mustang II performance???
You guys are not going to believe this but I will tell you anway. I ordered a C/A/I and it came in today. I still had not found the source of my slowness, that is until today. I started taking the intake piping apart and removed the air filter completely from the housing. When I pulled the air silencer out of the fenderwell I found a friggin plastic Rainbow bread sack stuck in there!!!! Can you believe that? I am curious how the car was running at all. So between removing the plastic sack and installing the CAI, the car now feels like a complete beast.
Anyway, just thought I would share.

I got 2.060' 14.6 @ 92 times last year on street tires and stock engine - 5speed 3.73s. Now I'll probably get worse 60 foot times bet way better overall times unless i get DRs.
It sounded like something was hindering your car, glad you found it.

Put new shoes on my girl, black cobra 17x9 cobra R's with chrome lip. Also installed a Transgo AOD-HP shift kit. Wow did that wake things up. The shifts went from ooooooooooommmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to Whammmmm. Its nice cause you can still cruise around with it and its not neck breaking. When you put your foot down it seems to hook harder and you get that lurch forward with a head snap. My front struts have seized up on me for some reason????? It looks like a good time to drop her in the weeds. Next up FRPP C springs and AGX adjustable struts/shocks. Also ready to install 3:55 gears.
