HELP!!!
I have 88 saleen #335. i bought it pretty recently with some upgrades already on and have done a little so far i feel like i have a ton of torque and power and she sounds amazing but i am still getting beat by little imports with engine swaps and ####. I was wandering in wat direction i should go to start mopping the streets with these little ricers around where i live. here is wat i have done:
supposedly stroked to a 331 (no papers when i bought it) Mild cam saleen/vortech upper and lower polished intake cold air MAF conversion stock heads i think (choking the 331????) billet flywheel centerforce clutch aluminum driveshaft shorty headers h-pipe and flowmasters and i am guessing a fuel pump bc that #### is loud when i turn the key haha Any advice on wat i should do next??? i am thinking underdrives and adj. fuel pressure regulator. not to familiar with the tuning process on obd1 computers or even if it is worth it at this point. looking for reasonable advice, i know ill get the post that says boost the #### out of it!!! but i am thinking a little more practical here ha. thanx |

Post some pics of the engine. Stock heads on that 331 (if it really is) is a bottle neck. I would try to pick the previous owners brain for details and specs on engine (cam spec or type, compression ratio, rear gear ratio, etc.) Since there's some uncertainty as to engine displacement and parts, find a nearby mustang guru to help find out what you have. I could also dyno the car to base line it and see if what your putting down sounds reasonable for what has been done and also A/F ratio. Would be nice to know all the details before throwing any unnatural aspiration at it. Good luck.

TIRES!If you're getting punked from the dig......................if you're getting ripped from a roll you're running some fast imports (based on your "supposed" 331) or your combo is not what it was advertised as................need to find out exactly what you have before you go throwin loot around......

Forgot to put in my original post that i also have 70mm tb and egr spacer. Is there a quick way to see if i actually have a 331 crank. pull pan??? the guy i bought the car from didnt do the engine work and i have only done the intake and tb bc it was running rich when i bought it. wider tires in rear??? drag radials???? |
