[QUOTE="Michael Plummer, post: 1262370, member: 9170"] Lots of good advice already posted and the advice I'm going to give isn't any more right or wrong. It's just my opinion but it will require you to spend money. Q) what is the definition of slow tho in the mustang world? A) In my opinion, anything running 14's at the 1/4 dragstrip. On the dyno, anything making under 275rwhp. Q) Is it something where i throw bolt ons and im still getting beat by a honda on the streets? idk? A) It depends on your bolt-ons. The ones you listed isn't going to make a huge difference in the power department. Q) I would really love to build the car meaning the basic bolt ons but i dont want to waste my money in the long run if its not going to have the put you back in your seat factor. A) If you plan your modifications correctly then you won't waste your money. Q) I just want a flat out honest opinion about fixing up a 94 sn95? Is it really worth it? A) Probably the wrong web site to come asking that question because the majority here thinks it's worth it. Be honest with your goals, and I'm sure you'll be able to beat those Hondas and a few other cars out there too. Personally, I think 400rwhp is a lot of HP for a street car on a stock block. What's the easiest way to get there? You need to determine how sound your motor is now. Based on the information you find, it will dictate what your next move should be.
