1987 5.0

[godfather]

well im new to the fox 5.0 and herd that there are some things i cant do to this car being it's an 1987...why?
i would like to get another 50 hp or so out of it
and here is a list of things that was done from the previous owner

Auto,mac headers,2-1/2-2 chamber flow master's, trans kit,
55,000 miles on the rebuilt engine and trans 3:55's

This car belonged to a certified ford mechanic in central Florida
for the last 10 or so years as a daily driver

thanks for your help
:beer:

How much are you wanting to spend? A good HCI package will make 75+ rwhp.

not over 1000.00 bucks...what is a hci

No mass air flow car that is what i was trying to say

It can't be that hard to switch from speed density to mass air. By the way, HCI mean heads, cam, and intake.

 

[blownfox]

Heads cam intake.

Only having a $1000 budget only leaves you bolts or used heads and intake.

gears will help out a lot 3.73
short belt
under drive pulleys
Off road h or x pipe
cold air intake (plug the coolant lines going into the EGR plate)
E-fan

Get a mass air conversion before you go with heads and cam.

that's the magic word ( speed density )

i forgot to mention it does have an H' pipe but factory
air box/filter
how much power will the cold air and elect fan give me
15 or so hp?

and how much does the h pipe give me with my headers listed above
(shorty headers they are)

if this car is stock 225 hp and the mods i have listed what wilL it have when i add CAI & ELECT FAN

THANKS:rockon:

i found this:

The problem with Speed Density is, that by changing many engine components you will adversely effect the volumetric efficiency. Speed density can detect some changes with it's MAP, TPS and ACT sensors. It can not detect that you have changed the volume of air coming in and out of the engine. A Mass Air sensor directly reads the mass of air (number of air molecules). By doing this, it can detect the changes in the volume of air, in addition to it's pressure and temperature. This metering process allows the computer to adequately adjust for increased airflow resulting from the addition of throttle body, upper/lower intake, cylinder heads or camshaft. Converting from Speed Density to Mass Air will allow your engine to reach its full potential and is an integral part of any performance
build up.

so this means i cant do shit till i add this???

that bums

how bout i go carb on this car
