2.3 performance mods. Okay, I'm tired of asking and getting asked question on what mods can be done to the N/A for power! and here it is, now if you want more information go to www.stangnet.com or www.mustangforums.com

Junk yard parts that can be used

- 87-93 Ranger cams, 91-93 Mustang cams (2.3L engine, you want the followers as well)

- 90's ranger header (The header weighs 6 pounds, stock mustang one weights 26 pounds)

- 8.8 Rear end out of a Turbo Coupe (Came with 3.73 gears in the auto ones, 3.55 in the manuals)

- 5.0 front brakes w/ spindles (get 11" rotors)

- 5.0 front sway bar (4 cylinder - 1" 5.0 - 1 5/16")

- Rear sway bar (out of a 5.0 GT)

- MAF conversion (better MPG and HP) [91-93 mustangs have MAF]

New parts that can be used

- Cold Air Intake (can be made out of PVC pipe, or exhaust piping)

- Exhaust (2.25" all the way back and no cat if you can get away with it)

- Cam gear (these engines like 4 degrees retard of timing)

- Port the head and intake

- Bigger valves

- Stand alone ECM

- Custom cam

- New heads

- 2.5 Stroker kit

- MSD ignition

- NOS (be cation, to much will kill the engine)

- 255lph fuel pump

- Under drive pullies

- 1.75" to 3" header

- Light weight flywheel

- Windage tray

- Aluminum drive shaft

There are other things that can be done like bump the compression, and play with the gears, thats up to you, this is just what I have learned will work. Make sure that you are careful and make sure you know what your doing before you do any work on your car.
