Whats the best way to make a fast, street 1996 mustang gt?
Posted by admin | Under Mustang GT Wednesday Nov 19, 2008Jake asked:
I owned a 1996 Ford Mustang GT that has a 4.6 liter V8 in it. I am looking to make it faster, but keep it a sensible street car. Besides intake and exhaust, what are other good mods that will make power without killing gas mileage or keep it from being street legal?

The BEST way is to supercharge it. I have a 2000 GT .Only it will cost $3500-6000,or more. Plenty of companies to pick from…Centrifugal type,and screw type.That’ll gain 40% or more HP so say you probably make 250 horse+ 40% That’ll put you @ 350 horse.. A less expensive way is to put a chip/program in it and you can gain 15-20 horse.The chips are usally around 300-600$
Supercharge
After market headers and matching exhaust system.
Better flowing heads.
Hotter Cam
Higher rear end ratio (3.55:1).
Underdrive pullies
Replace mass flow to larger size.
Or trade in for a Saleen.
Sell it and buy a 2001 and newer model or a 88-93 foxbody. The bodystyle in between those two era’s are really weak. Ford fell asleep behind the wheel with your year model mustang.
