hey guys.. I've been reading a lot of stuff on here about upgrading intakes, cams, ect. but a lot of it confuses me. Is there any websites where it breaks some of it down and explains a little clearer. I dont want to sound like a retard, but I just want to understand it all.. thanks

You can just ask on here and many knowledgable people cam respond to your questions. Use the search button at the top of the screen and you can find alot of answers. Look thru the tech articles at the top of the 5.0 section. If you can't get an answer just use the google and yahoo search engines. But like I said if you ask here people can give their experiences with probably most of your ideas.

Do you have a stang now or just thinking about it. If so what do you have? Post some pics.

I actually just sold my cavalier[&:] and bought an 88 gt. I have wanted a mustang since I was 12 when my older brother got one. I love it.. its pretty much stock and in pretty good condition. Just feels good to drop the bowtie[8D]

just make sure you let a professional do the gears...

It's a job that even I have not ventured into yet!

first gear is fine and you have plenty of it...tire size can control that
