Yeah the guy I purchased the car from has a tuneup done recently. It runs really good thats why i'm not going to build a new motor and just work on this one. I think the 95 has 2.73 gears I'm not sure if that affects top end or not..

The 1995 can actually come with three different setups for stock gears with LSD. It can be 2.73, 3.08, or 3.27.

To check, open your driver's side door and check the sticker. On the sticker you will see the letters "AX" followed by a single letter. Tell us what that letter is after the AX code and we can tell you exactly what gears you have. If I had to guess, i would say 3.27.

Yea...Nitrous, Methanol and a Supercharger!

lol I find that so funny, you talk about your car like it has a "few mods" like it has a freakin intake and manifold on it lol

LMAO, never thought of it that way. I guess I'm too used to people around here where I live asking. When people in my area ask, I will also tell them I have a few mods. Sometimes it's followed by "like what?" So I just tell them that I changed some piping to alter the way the air flows. It makes the air cooler and it's more efficient. I also changed my pulleys. he object it to be honest, but to be vague, LoL. They will most likely assume that it's a CAI because it would alter the airflow and cool the air. Of course, in reality the air flow is being "altered" by 10 pounds of boost, and it's "cooler" because of methanol, lol. And the pulleys would be the ones needed for the S/C. So if I'm lucky and they're stupid, then they assume I have a CAI, UD pulleys, and flowmaster exhaust. I never mention the nitrous or the gears at all.

Man I love being underestimated, LoL.

LoL I guess you can do it that way... your car definetly looks like a sleeper. Im sure it doesnt sound like one but it looks like one lol

RE: Top End

I was trying like hell to keep the sleeper / stock look. The S/C is surprisingly quiet actually. Sure you get the whistle at idle, but anything above 1600 or so RM and it quiets right out. You can hear the exhaust, but it's not overly loud and not enough to make you think that the car has any *****. I'm shooting for a specific look. I want people to look at it with it's stock rims and flwomaster exhaust and say "Look at this idiot with a mustang. Doesn't he know they're slow? Just because you put flowmaster exhaust on it doesn't mean it can do anything."... That's what I'm looking for.

Of course, as soon as I hit the purge switch and two huge, loud, white jets of nitrous jet out from under the hood, I lose the sleeper effect, lol.

Here's a video of what it sounds like. This was taken about a week or so before I added the nitrous. You can hear what I mean though... it quiets right down when you hit the throttle.

RE: Top End

Yea, I wanted to kind of go for the same thing, thats why when I asked yesterday about running those valve covers I was really pissed because I will need a spacer and a cowl hood. I wanted to try to keep the exterior as stock looking as possible but I guess I mind as well go all out now lol

RE: Top End

Whatever you do, don't get platinum plugs. Just get some old fashioned autolite copper ones. As far as wires, are you just running a the stock ignition system or do you have anything special? I need to get an MSD setup!

RE: Top End

Since you're all stock, I'd just get some Autolite 25 plugs and some nice Taylor or MSD wires. You should be all set then. You also going to get a cap / rotor? How about a coil?

RE: Top End

Some people like to swap out the coil but it isn'talways necessary. As far as Cap and Rotor, I prefer MSD for that too, but nothing wrong with OEM for stock applications.
