I remember when a good bud of mine bought a 87 5.0 5 speed LX..which was also a speed density car(which were faster than the maf guys many times).

He bought it because it was the strongest of the number of 5.0's he tested and it was by far the fastest(spanked the others).

Went to the track..it ran 14.4@97 mph...stock...he was all excited.

So he went and bought a pulley set for it, h-pipe, cai and was going to change the timing to 14 deg.

Guess what...the pulley he bought...same one on the car already...the h-pipe...already one...the cai, already one...and the timing...already set to 14 deg.

But he told a many it was stock before he knew it was modded.

Unless someone bought the 5.0 Stang new...who knows what it could have?




how could your buddy not tell he had a couple of mods on his car by just looking at it???

i mean a cai is pretty obvious,as is an hpipe,and for that matteran ud pulley isn't too hard to recognize...and btw i those are hardly mods,he might have added about 10-15hp max with those mods,probably 0 hp for the cai,which on a stang is mostly for looks..

and btw yes the speed density cars were a bit faster STOCK,but with any serious mods(heads,cam,intake)a swap to mass air is necessary or the car will run like chit..
