Winter build up

Posted by: tri-valleyracin

Well i put my mark on the road for a month or so and drove it around but it needs a good overhaul. My dad bought a 95 bronco xlt that will take the place of my mark over the winter. well lets just say the mark will come back as a mustang killer. i plain on FRPP headers and 2.5 all the way back to flowmasters out the back. i am going to replace all the stuff that is worn. i will have good $ coming in from my new job and i get a good discount on car stereo partsalso. i will be putting gears 3.73s or 4.11s and hopfuly a few motor mods. im looking to get around 350hp-400hp rwhp out if it when im done. hopfuly a supercharger. or i might atempt and N/A motor but with some major work. i also think i will be doing a brake swap.

Not sure what reaction time has to do with what tires you are running but good look with your build up. I suggest nitrous with a good nitrous tune from Torrie at the Fast Parts Network.

tire do play a roll.if spinning off launch the r/t will be slower than not spinning and getting good traction.
