Don't even think about boosting if you're trying to be cheap about it. There's nothing cheap about doing things correctly when it comes to car building. You get what you pay for, and that's with everything.

Not too much is cheap about a mustang. If it has mustang in the name add a fist full of $$$$$$ to it.

Forged. The 87-92 were forged from the factory.
