Default any advice?

ok so i have a 90 gt with the basic bolt on's. bbk cold air intake, bbk headers, bbk H-pipe, dual flow masters, 3:73 richmond gears, posi rear end wit eaton axles. msd blaster coil, i have 6al ign box ready to go on when i want, b&m short throw shifter, a/c and smog are gone. (kits, did it the right way). im 20yrs old and cant say i have unlimited funds but for the time being all i want to do is get my stang to put over 300rwhp. im just wanting some opinions on what to do next. as inexpensive as possible.

Since I don't like spray (want my power to be there all the time, and be street legal), I would be looking at holding off and saving for some performance heads. You've done the bolt-ons.

Or upgrade to another car that is going to give you more of a base platform to work with. You have exhausted the cheap upgrade path.

you have no real performance power making mods, time to start spending some money for 300rwhp, larger maf, larger TB, heads cam and intake and to be safe an injector and FP upgrade, that'll get you your 300 rwhp.......well ported set of gt-40 heads, worked over holley systemax intake and maybe a tfs 1 cam with all the supporting mods and have a tune worked in and 300 rwhp should be yours ......pending on price of heads and cost of parts, if you find the stuff used in good working order 1500 -2k should be your investment minus the tune

Yea I've herd bout going to nitrous, but I want to keep it all motor, and getting another car is not an option. I've been wanting a foxbody mustang since I was ten and now that I have it no way its gettin away from me. Yea I've been looking around for what to do next and seems like H/C/I is the way to go. Jst gotta find the right combo. Any suggestions are appreciated to help me get to that 300hp mark.

NAWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha seriously though. nitrous is the way to go

my '89 went 12.50's with what u have and a 75 shot except i ahd 4.10's. so you should still go like 12.90 or maybe 12.80 with a tailwind

well heres where i can recite the best quote ever.......
there are 2 types of racecars:
ones WITH nitrous.....
and ones who NEED nitrous

im also betting you have NEVER been in a nitrous car, but to each his own

if you are ever caught without nitrous... you need to be d!ckslapped

extra bottles are $200 brand new and you can find full bottles not more than 2 years old at swap meets for $125-ish. with 100 hp jets and 3 bottles you can make 30 FULL 1/4 mile passes. now i lived in cali, but born and raised in motown and back here again. it's pretty dam hard to find 30 races in a single evening, that are willing to ante up.

so it is there all the time but only creating high cylinder pressures for 10 seconds or so at a romp. your blower creates heat all the time and increases cylinder pressure... all the time. so to nitrous guys... blowers dont make any sense with all that harshness on a motor when you drive it waaaaay more than u race it

as far as legality ? street cops dont know squat about DOT law for 1, you keep it covered and they need a warrant to search your car, and bottom line is... they cannot prove you have not been home since you filled up your bottle/s last and DOT law **REQUIRES** that a bottle under pressure be mounted for transportation. just because the line was attached so it didnt drag on the ground is gonna be pretty hard to prove otherwise when a new feedline is like a 100 bux.

you gotta be smarter than average swine brotha !!!!

just how on earth would that be cheaper??? and please explain how a fox body does not offer more of a base platform to work with?? It is one of the best and inexpensive platforms to work with.
