Re: Extra HP & Torque

yeah my 90 can beat a 5.0 off the line . he might run me down but right off the line the mustang cant make the torque from a dead stop where as like say a 4.9 makes it torque down low and a mustang makes it some where in the middle of the rpm band . now a moded 5.0 could probably have high torque all through the rpm band . and the same would apply for the 4.x engien if we had as many bolt on and after market parts available to us as they do about the only thing we can do to make so serous power is to put a turbo on but then the trans becomes the weakest link and theirs just about nothing we can do about that other then make you own CF disk and molly shims and make the switch for bands to chains and put in a shift kit. now they make a shift kit bout thats about it . you figure in the cost to make all of that its just aint worth it unless you just have money burning a hole in you pocket
