I hate mustangs. I DESPISE them. My goal is to be able to destroy the majority of 5.0 liters and the newer 2005s+. please help- I must show the thousands of mustang drivers around my area that rotary power reigns supreme!:rock:

i was thinking about FI- that new esmeril turbo kit looks great. I am thinking about a turboXS exhaust and an AEM Cold air intake. perhaps a racing beat flywheel, not sure if new headers would help though

What do you want to know?

Look in the major horsepower forum before you ask any questions. There are tons of threads on making power. Might wanna start lurking around.

And hope the mustangs you meet have zero mods.

The XS is loud...the Esmeril looks good...

If you get a turbo kit...you will not need the AEM...so dont waste your money...

Headers do nothing...

if you go now, esmeril has a deal on their kit. they are good people. if you want, i will PM chris (esmeril guy) and tell him to come in here. most of the mustangs you will see wont be modded except for exhaust, at least in my area

lol thats funny- you must live in melbourne florida like i do LOL. all the mustanks in my area all have exhaust, or are v6s. anywho, i am also interested in tuning my setup to be reliable, as well as having ample power in all my gears- dont want any blowouts or detonations :banghead:

so i would love some suggestions on building up my engine before FI.

yeah, that'd be cool to have chris fron esmeril give me some tips :D:

oh... um well, im sure you at least understand the finer points of the rx-8 if you post here... when i speak of the mustang, i of course am speaking of people who would discredit the rx-8 simply because it doesn't go as fast as a mustang in a straight line.

and while im at it, ill skip the L5 and jump the gun by putting in a viper engine...

i plan on smoking mustangs with the 13B, after all, it's what mazda decided to put into the 8, so why go against the grain?

its like putting salt on your meal at a french restaurant, it would insult the chef :tear:

trust me, i take no offense to what you say about mustangs. i love my 8 WAYYYY more than the stang. the only reason i have it is cause its convertible and women love red convertible mustangs

outside of our tolerance of him...himself, or anything RX related...unfortunately no...he's less like "the little engine that could" and more like "the little little ass-pain that could"...

if you want a mustang killer just take it to an autocross track. you will smoke them. mustangs are HORRIBLE on the track. if you want a stoplight king, once again, you bought the wrong car

I park next to a 2006 mustang at work everyday. He has a Paxton super charger on it and will about kill anything a RX8 can toss at it. The car, kit, exhaust and so on add up to about 35k$.

No, they're not. The previous gen SCd Cobras are extremely fast on the track. Granted, it takes a lot of suspension work...but their aftermarket is huge and race solutions are plentiful.
