(do sn95's have a electric fan stock?) if not then ditch the stock fan and go to a electric(taurus junk yard fan would work great), bump youre timming if you already havent, 65mm tb and spacer, do a good tune up, nice wires and a new cap and rotor with some new plugs and change the fuel filter. you could probably do all this stuff for under 300 bucks and i wouldnt be surprised if you saw 25hp at the flywheel from it. Just my $.02.

From a stock set up, when advancing timing, where it at stock stetting, and how far should one advance it, in a 88 GT!?!?!?!?

stock should be about 9-10 degrees advanced, you are good to add anywhere from 3-4 degrees before jumping to mid grade or premium fuel.

there is no particular setup, you see, we dont even have the wiring to run one, better yet, an alternator that can handle one..


You will need a 3g alternator upgrade, a 12v fan relay kit, and a fan out of a Ford Taurus Station Wagon or aftermarket. that will set you back $175

What about my question on the timing bump up of about 3-4 degree. Doing that really make a noticeable diff in a stock 5.0?
