Any moron who actually thinks a Mustang Gt can beat a Corvette needs to stop acting like they know anything about cars. Go back to baking cookies. Don't care if your a Ford or Chevy fan, a Corvette was designed to compete with exotic supercars( check what the C-5 did to the Ferrari's), while the mustang was meant to play with Camaro's. Besides, last time I checked, you couldn't get a Corvette with a V-6 as a base engine. Smarten up ford weenies.

You need to educate yourself... that drive has a couple of serious shortcomings. If the shift cables are not working perfectly the drive likes to jump out of gear under load which is a $2000+ repair when it happens....\n\ngo here and start reading:\n\nwww.hastings.org/~stuart/cobra/index.html\n\nYour boat's engine is a 2.3 liter Ford - the block and head and internals are similar to 4 cylinder Mustangs of the era....everything else on the engine is marine specific.\n\nGet a manual and learn how to winterize it properly and change points and fuel filters etc...

1/500th or less. You can check this out by looking at an auto supply catalog, finding out how much current is drawn by the fan under loaded conditions, determine the current draw (presumably at 12 volts), and find the wattage.\n\nThis can then be converted into horsepower by multiplying watts X 0.00134.

Are you talking cubic inches or horse power or both\n\nIE you can get 408 hp from a 400ci with the right cam heads intake and carb.\n\nYou can also bore out an engine block to increase the cubic inches, IE bigger pistons and rings.\n\nAnd as the previous poster wrote you can make it a stroker motor

Yeah, sure those "high performance brakes" will give you an excellent boost in horsepower. Wtf? Add a few stickers, and a really large exhaust pipe, and you'll be drag racing before you know it!\n\nAttempt to reduce the weight of the car, and add performance add-on's to the engine and the exhaust system, so the exhaust can flow faster and more efficiently. The "add-ons" will help you produce more power, but weight is an issue.

I have a 72 monte (currently in restoration) and the new ones are CRAP compared to the old ones.  I have a friend who just traded in a 02 ? Monte because the trans was starting to slip.  I love chevys dont get me wrong, but if the stang is a V8 it is better as far as construction and life after miles is concerned.  As for the women thing, I see a lot of chicks driving mustangs, so if you get the stang you better trick it out if you want to stand apart from the ladies.  The monte has sexy lines, but the mechanical soundness is a turnoff.  (Dont pull up on a girl and try to talk to her if she cant hear you over the rattle under the hood) Go old school, chicks really dig that.

if you want to you can bore that other engine out, it will kill the life span of the engine, but you can get a 350 way over 500 hp. or you can get a blower or a new fuel injector with a stronger spray.

usually the easiest way to get that kind of power is either\n\nturbo charging your car, or adding nitrous.  \n\nboth have its strengths, and weaknesses.\n\nalso both will need modifications on your car to make it \na. run right.\nb. run so your engine lasts.

don't waste time and money on a weak ranger axel. search the internet and area junk yards for a used ford 9 inch rear end. ranger axles aren't very strong especially next to the 9 inch. the 9 inch was standard in older mustangs\nbut the spring perches are probably not the same. or find a 8.8 inch 5 bolt out of a newer mustang which should bolt right in. the 9 inch is the strongest 5 bolt rear end ever made which is the best choice for high horsepower.\nhowever they are hard to find used and are expensive new or rebuilt. the 8.8 inch is easy to come by and is also a better choice than a ranger rear end. if you can reply to \njordan_00_slipknot@yahoo.com with a little more info\nwhether the 1990 has leaf or coil springs how much power you\nplan on getting to the ground and type of driving you will be doing i can help narrow the options down for you.\nas far as the brakes i'm not sure but you might want to\nconsider after market rotors calipers and pads if you are\ngonna have a good amount power when you are all done.\nhope to get a reply from a fellow mustang fan. good luck!

Mustang for sure.  easy to tweak.  whatever you get, throw in a nitrous kit in the trunk and you'll be flying like John Denver

you will have to match to size of the turbos accordingly because the higher the boost the more strain u put on the motor i would start by having a talk to a shop that only sells turbo and they will help u mach the turbo for u

buy a manual boost controller and boost gauge used on ebay, and crank that baby up, not too high tho or it will hurt the motor.  im not sure exactly what type of turbos are on a stock 3000gt, but i had my stock tsi turbo up to about 17 psi or so.

Change cam shafts, Put a blower on it, Turbo charge it.\nFree flow exhaust system.

you can make the turbo work off of a 1984 SVO Mustang.  Hard to get but it'll work.  Try ebay. Also, the guy's post below mine is crazy.  The 2.8 in the SVO can be easily tuned to run in the low 12's.

the only people thatve answered so far that has any clue as to what to do are mcneilbradley and mehotdude3 and it looks like me hot got his answers straight out of gran turismo....get a cold air intake.....full exaust....for inexpensive....depending on the car you could order a spoon gtr motor for certain imports like the wildly popular civic...or...for domestic just order a crate motor......blue printed and port and polished???? that really does cost around 10 to 15 thousand dollars.....600 hp crate motor...$5000 and a lot more results

At Mustang Racing Technologies we run a Novi 1200 supercharger on our 2005 at 8.5 psi.  We have no problems and have had it higher.  With current boost it is putting out around 400 horses.  If you are planning on more than 5 psi you need some serious computer remapping and fuel help.  CPR fuel rails, injectors, and an SCT tune are suggested.  Don't worry about the intake.
