Purestock 98 Mustang?????
 

How hard you think it would be to make a 4.6 @ 210 hp /5 speed run 8.90 in 1/8 mile and 14.00 in 1/4 in purestock trim? Just wondering.

From what I have seen Danny those cars can easily run 8.70's/13.50's with minimal mods.

Just leave with your right foot on the floor. It should be fine.

Well i bought a bone stock one today. probably run 200 mph with the gear that's in it .lol.It feels like a mid to low 15 second car as it is. I am gonna play with it a little and do mods as i go. X pipe and 391 or 410 gear are on the list shortly. Any cheap suggestions let me know. Thanks in advance

Danny,

I'll throw my .02 in here. Have a buddy that owns a 98 convertible. He's not a racer but is a serious FFFord enthusiast. It's a neat car. He did some of the same things, upgraded the rear gear, put a good exhaust on it, did pep the car up.

The bad he ran into. Apparently the 96-98 Mustangs aren't supported real well. He has had problems finding a tuner. He bought a nice one but it doesn't support all the functions for these cars. Another problem he has encountered, couldn't find a better fuel pump.

Dig in and do a little research. Have fun with the build.

Thanks for the comments, I just thought it would be fun with a stick car. Also heard it was more tuner friendly with a stick . Oh well i'm gonna give it a try and see what happens.

Sounds like a fun setup.

I think it would be perfect for PS.
Those 4.6 modular engines need to be revved to get up into the powerband, but with a stick that should make it a lot easier.

The factory T-45 trans is stronger than the 94-95 T-5 trans, ( or so I have read) so that's a plus.
4.30 gears minimum.
( I run 4.56 with my '95 5.0 setup/28 inch tires )

You might look into stepping up to 24lb. injectors and one of those handheld tuners.
Bigger pump in the tank is easy. Plenty of those around.
