Hey, mustang lovers. I am new to the whole car world, as i only turned 16 eleven months ago. However i quickly realized my passion for cars, but specifically mustangs.
I got a 1989 GT 5.0 HO from my mom. And, I sell programs at the local baseball stadium, so I am lacking in the funds department. I was hoping to look to you all for some advice. My car is all stock, with the exception of Flowmaster 40 series exhaust, and i am looking for your opinion on the best possible way to gain horsepower on my daily driver, with as little money as possible. I want to some day turn this car into a dragster, but for now, I just want to be able to put out some good horsepower while remaining being able to drive it daily and remaining to have some cash in my wallet. Thanks alot!

Well, that is a difficult question. More horsepower usually costs money. You can do things like timing that will give you a couple ponies but nothing like what it sounds like you want. The best bang for your buck that you can get is gears. I would recomend either 3.73 or 3.55's for a stock 5.0.
