I got my 88 GT Conv for the look. Frankly, around here in the Greater Cincy area you do not see them much anymore. Just CRUUUUUUUUUUUUZ down the street and be cool. That said my 94 ex cop car Caprice with little modding (Computer reprogram and a cold air intake) would do eat my new Stang toy. But the 5sp, the conv look, FUN FACTORS!

It looks like its already lowered. If you are serious about trying to make 400rwhp then you need to decide how you wanna do it. All motor, Nitrous, turbo, or supercharger.

All motor, people will **** themselves when you drive by. Supercharger, people will hear you coming, and people will respect it. Turbo.... unless your BOV releases... nobody will have a clue...

with Nitrous... you can sound alsmost stock.. and still be deadly.... sleeper style

Ya kinda late for me to chime in but those little Hondas on average weigh about 2200 pounds. That means if they manage to drop that B16 engine with about 200 hp stock (and there is one), they would have about 11 horsepower to the pound. That means we would need about 290 horsepower to hang with one of those. I'm sure alot of you guys already have that, but those little B16's can really handle alot for their size compared to what our 5.0's can handle for there size. Needless to say, I hate ricers. But a Honda that can easily hang with my car would not quite be considered a ricer in my book.

Thanks for the advice, i heard that gears feel like 50 extra horsepower.
Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the car...once you get it. It looks awesome! Yeah, gears will feel like you gained 50 hp...particularly if you advance your timing at the same time. Jump on that deal before someone else gets it. But check the car over really well, as it looks like someone has gone really fast in it before.

looks like you've got MAF too unless i'm seeing things wrong
Since he's from Washington, the car may be a Cali 88, unless someone converted it. I like Cali 88s.
