man u can buy lt's for sn95's and up and sn95's come with 10 less hp do to the intake manifold and they are slower casue of the weight. but jsut like ne mustang the heads intake and exhaust strangle it u fix those and it wakes up big time.

If you wondered why they went to a 4.6 from the 5.0 it is because of this...the engine compartment is smaller on sn95 body style and the headers and exhaust are packed in there...I THINK this is why you can only buy shorty headers....and there is MAJOR restriction in the exhaust compared to the 93....but i could be wrong....but yes iv noticed this with my 94 too

Clean your MAF!!! give it a tune up. When frist got my 95 it was a pig then I learnd about the MAF, once I cleaned that It felt like a v8 should feel.

Thats a good point the 4.6 is wider....just what someone told me once why they went to the 4.6......that raises a ? why did they ever go to the 4.6 im probably a little late on this its probably been discussed before...

8 (m*) = 2.73:1
5 (e*) = 3.27:1
6 (w*) = 3:73:1
y (z*) = 3.08:1
f (r*) = 3.45:1
The * means traction lok. look under the AX code in ur door jam. This is coming right out of the 1994 ford service manual on page 05-00-2. Hope this helps...

On the 94-95 They came with either 2.73 3.08 or 3.27 Depends if they were ordered that way from the factory.

Sorry for the newb question but how can I find out what gear my 95GT has?

My mustang feels fast cause its the biggest engine car that I have ever owned. (Im coming from a 99LX 4 cylinder contour,daily driver)

I believe the 3.27 was only for autos as an option and 3.08 for the manual.
