  • To Kill a Mustang

    Could be a nice little book title eh? Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could give me a few recommendations. I'd like to get my 3.8 running fast enough to take 5.0 Mustangs. I was trying to figure out the most practical, cost-effective approach and was't sure where to start. Right now I'm bone-stock and could eat plenty of rice, so on to bigger things. I'd definitely appreciate any reasonable recommendations here, budget-minded ones that is :-(. Being 17 doesn't provide much income...

    intake and exhaust first off..... everything else builds off of them. then gears, cam, head work....theyre prolly next in line, depending on what you want to do.
    where in Pitt are you? if you want a hand, let me know.

          Greentree/Crafton, I know exactly where that is. Been there a good number of times, and isn't that far at all.

            and i'll give you my cell #. if your not running on any timeframe December/ January I'm doing headers and either going to true duals like Dominics set-up or going to a 3" system. I'll sell you my flowmaster cat-back cheap and install them for you if you're interested in bargain mods.

                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
