Modify Your Mustang
No other car on the streets has more aftermarket parts available than the Ford Mustang. For those who want more performance, or a customized look for their car, the choices are endless. Most of my Mustangs have had some aftermarket modification, and others have had a lot. My blue 1992 5.0 LX is the first one that I had installed many aftermarket parts on. It had aluminum under-drive pulleys, an aluminum drive shaft, slightly lower ratio rear end gears, nickel plated equal length exhaust headers, Flowmaster cat-back exhaust system, higher ratio aluminum roller rockers, a phenolic spacer in the intake manifold, and several special trim pieces. These modifications, and my special tuning, gave it approximatly 30 more horsepower, and improved fuel milage by about 3 MPG. It was a fast and fun car to drive. There is a lot more about that car in chapter 8 of my book. You can follow this link to check it out or read sample pages. "Grab Some Gears"
