'92, supercharged or not. The '93 came with quite a bit less hp & torque than the '92, however the '93 does have a nice clock & decent stereo system.

Technically speaking, there isn't a difference in true hp readings between the two model years. Ford just changed the way that they take hp and tq measurements.
With that said, my vote still goes for the 92 due to forged internals.

Definatly go 92.
Say decide to add some n2o later on down the line and the mixture happens to run a little lean.
You'll have some give to your pistons while you can wish those hypers goodbye.
Theyre just gonna melt

And roundman is definatly the guy to talk to about foxes[sm=smiley20.gif]

Practically the same cept the 93 has 20 less hp but they go away with upgrades. The pistons are different but better in longevity.



93 GT 5.0 Hatchback
BBK full length headers, BBK short off road h pipe, BBk 65 mm throttle body,Mac underdrive pulleys, 1 inch intake gasket, K&N filter, 76 mm C&L MAF, LOL and i like glasspacks =) soon to be adding gt40 intake

no HP difference they just lowerd the rating but still same HP. pistons major difference but hyper pistons can still handle the power. seen numerous 93 blocks making decent power with boost. look on turbomustangs.com and they are still running 93 blocks with those hyper pistons.

yes forged is better but can still get hypers to perform. same price for each car with same mileage i woudl go 92 now for some reason 93 was cheaper with less miles go 93

They both lost hp from the 225/300 ratings from both the cam profile change, the resonator in the intake in 93 caused loss, the MAF meter from introduced in 88 caused loss, & exhaust changes also caused power loss.
