Lets say you have $13K excluding a car. What can you make faster with $13K, a 87-93' Mustang 5.0 or a 89-94' Turbo DSM? (when you post, include the price of car, and the total price of the mods, and an estimate of how much hp you'd be making with the 2 cars)

i say the dsm. engines are cheap. 2200 for a race prepped one. there are many awesome turbos like the gt30, the red, the green, the fp30 that can do awesome things. all you need is 8-10 to do it right and be very very fast.

another agreed on that one.The Milkman said:
can you show me where I can get a race prepped motor for 2200 bucks. Buschur's site says 3000 for stage 3 shortblock. Who offers the same or more for 800 less? Unless you are refering to buying the pieces seperate.

for dragging a stang would be best. starting off with 5 liters is pretty nice.

yeah, and then with a tt kit on it. oh man. but the thing is it needs slicks to go fast, a huge cam, and a huge carb ( expenisve efi modification), with a dsm, being in the mid 11's it can be really streetable. good mileage is essential too!

I've never heard of them....has anyone heard of them or had any major work done by them? Do they do good work? Do they campaign a car?TheObiJuan said:
I'm not interested in saving any money if it will cause me headaches later. I want a motor that can take abuse.....like the one I have now.

Carb? what are you talking about? Why would you switch an EFI mustang to carb? only to modify it back with "expensive efi modifications" Fact is there are mustangs with 1k horsepower using stock efi with mods. A turbo mustang is very streetable and in fact it is recommended to use the stock cam or at most 1.7rr with stock cam. There are mustangs with stock motors running 10's. And they are doing it with far less money than you posted in your original question. I love my talon to death but its way outnumbered in this scenario.

I can't see any of their other products. I click on it and its just a white page that won't finish loading, black boarders with a banner at the bottom. The first link to the engine is ok but they have no link to a home page or other categories.TheObiJuan said:
Any V8 mustang with FI. I have a friend with a 96 stang (4.6l) that has twin turbos. That thing is bad ass. They aren't huge turbos so they spool QUICK. Let's put it this way, he can walk off from another friend with a supra TT converted to single (T66). The supra does catch up on the top end though. They're gear limited as well.

i did not say switch. they said a 87-93 and i did not read that at first. . well those are nice and all, but a lotare carburated. by expensive mods i meant bigger injectors,bigger maf, intake manifold, and fuel pressure regulator. i did not say that a dsm did not need these things too, but that they are expensive. thats it.
send me a link where this stock efi, and i mean stock as in from ford is pushing 1000hp. that is impressive, and what mods are needed to that you mentioned. other than throttle body, injectors, fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel pressure regulator, and ecu modifications. with those mods what is left stock on the fuel system
oh well, they are both awesome vehicles, one is for the street and one is for the strip.

I wouldn't go that far ......DSM's have ran 8 and 9 second et's and continue to do so today....thats pretty darn respectable out of 2. liters of displacement. But yeah the Stang has just been one of those big brawlers on the track for a long time.rosman4u said:

most mustangs that run 10's and 9's are usually not driven on the street, if im not mistaken, mustangs end up having lots of problems from what some of my friends say, i might be wrong though
