Funny.. most 5.0s I have encountered will hand my little prelude hoopter ass to me.

Bolt ons? Turbocharger, of course.

5.0's are quick my dad had one a while back and it could beat my prelude vtec that has racing clutch,header,cold air intake, cat back, cam gears, and pullys, and the 5.0 we had was stock but it would be a close one i think

well i have over the winter to work on my car, so if anything you guys could help me with would be great, i really need to show this mustange ass whos boss...so that would be great..thanks

Maybe a good computer chip that would be nice don't know how much it would add but something.

Also i have a friend that has a mustange stock and i beat it and i only have a SI below are mods. But he said he had bent rods or something so.....

Okay guys, this is big...i am thinking about a cam, i only have money for one...so what is involved in installing one cam...into my 95 vtec lude? I need to know what i am getting into before i do it...so any experienced dudes want to tell me that would be great...i need to see this mustange in my rear view merrior!!!
thanks

you didnt know how to race then. the lude vtec has a faster stock 1/4 mile time than a GT 5.0. the 95 lude gets 15.1, the GT gets 15.2. a skilled driver in a full quarter mile will take a GT, in stock versus stock. my biggest tip for beating that hunk of shit is to learn how to race. if you can do that, your mods should be even more of an advantage.

Your car has two cams. Usually you don't install just an intake or just an exhaust cam. I don't even know if you can buy them seperate in aftermarket form. I'm assuming you have...500$? I know it sounds dumb, but get nitrous oxide if your car can take it. If all you wanna do is waste a Ford in a straight line, thats all it's gonna take. A 40 or 60 dry shot should work nicely. Good luck.

Yes i know what you mean, i am really trying to stay away from that NOS, so if it comes down to it then i may go for it, but is there anything you can think of that will keep me N/A, and that will give me some hp without rebuilding my head too much..i am really iffy about this cam idea, because it takes LOST O $$$ which doesnt grow on trees...so if you experienced luders could help me that would be great...look above at what i have..thanks

hear ya go man, don't go to the track next year. put aside $250 a month till next year. then you will have $3000. then go buy a turbo, and whoop that ford's ass

[vtec_lude]

Ummmm..could i have some info on NONE turbo mod's please..really need to get some ideas!! thanks

[dbebesi]

you know, you could change your gearing (slightly) by putting smaller tires on it when you race. some 14 low profile soft rubber slicks. i've seen it do wonders on rear wheel drive cars. but then again, i've also seen it rip apart rearends.

first, strip the interior and toss the spare in the basement.
then maybe work on the cams and pulleys like others have said. upgrade the ignition too.


and...working on your driving skills wouldn't hurt either

[pikkagtr]

yeah if u really wanna hand a 5.0 it's ass, there are few alternatives out there...i mean cheap, other than FI ot nitrous

Buy a flux capacitor.
