I'm getting a salvaged 1980s mustang gt engine soon and i would like to know some cheap and easy ways to boost the horse power to 300-350.

HACKGT350

ok that doesnt help there were a couple different gt engines in the 80s what year was it out of

87ttopGT420

yup need to know exact year...not much help

queeque

i dont know the exact year but it should be 1986-1989 and the max amount of money i would like to spend on getting it to 300-350hp would be $1,000

HACKGT350

your not getting to 300-350 on 1k my friend as for the engine if its 86 your gunna need new pistons if you want go put a cam and heads on or your gunna smash your valves.

queeque

damn... the car im putting it in is a 1988 so i would like to get 1988 engine, would the valves still smash? how much hp would a new cold air intake give me?

dude i have well over $3000 in bolt ons and i bet my car just makes around 300hp...as for a cold air intake your looking at 20hp maybe...if its and 86 motor dont waste your money get a 87 -93 5.0ho and as well as you'll need a 89-93 computer and mass air and so on and so forth $1000 you might as well put that into something else

[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]hahahaha oh man im sorry but thats too funny. your not gunna see any gains maybe 2-5 hp when they say you will see 25 50hp on tv they are fukking with you its all lies you wont make that much ever

queeque

ohh damn well then im not gunna waste any money on that then. how much hp would new dual exhaust give me with a H pipe

HACKGT350

you might see about 10-15 agian not a lot of power gains out of them but in the end they all add up. dont bother getting the cai just get a k&n cone or what ever filter you want thats not paper. think about getting junk yard gt40 heads and upper and lower intake and then get a cam to go with them
