6 months ago, I purchased a 1995 Mustang GT 5.0.. I have since put in a 4:11 rear, SLP loudmouth catback exhaust, Pacemaster off-road H pipe, BBK shorty headers..Holley 3/4 Raching Camshaft, 42 pound fuel injectors, SLP full intake..BBK intake manifold..removed mass air flow sensor..75mm Throttle Boddy (BBK).. Just wondering what you guys think of it...

1) you dont need 42lb injectors without a supercharger or some MASSIVE stroker kit.......and why did you take out the maf ?? doesnt it run kinda sh*tty w/o it ?? thats for the computer to read how much fuel to give the engine for the amount of air going thru it and you dont need that big of a tb yet......its probably hurting your performance more than helping it......but, other than those 2 things, seems decent enough to me...

No, to be perfectly honest, it runs great..my Uncle is a mechanic with a 69 chevelle with over 650 horse, and he told me to take the MAF out, so I listened to him..umm..wondering why you said I don't need that big of a throttle body yet??

well, if it runs great w/o the maf, then, dont worry about it. the VERY biggest tb youd need would be a 70, and thatd be pushing it too. you dont have enough engine mods that you need that much air goin in. youd be perfectly fine with a 65mm tb. i think theyre good up to @ 350-370hp....I THINK. then you need to step it up to a bigger one, but, all you need is a 65mm, but, i mean, its your car. if youre happy w/ it, then leave, and if youre gonna do more engine work later, leave it......

Oh Okay..thanks for the insight..I actually do plan on doing more engine work in the near future..just waiting on the money..am extremely satisfied now though..just wondering..what do you think about the exhaust?
PS- i never knew how much noise and gurgle a camshaft adds..Damn!

No my Uncle did it for me..i use him for advice and the installs..saves a lot of money, always good to know people.. lol
He does have that monster he calls a Chevelle so I listen to him
I've heard its not a very difficult install. Did you notice a serious power difference with the cams? I know it would be different between your car and mine, but did u notice a lot?

Yes definaetly. To be 100% honest I didn't know that much about cam shafts untill I talked to my Uncle. All I knew was that better ones got more air and gas in.
Then when I bought my Stang (after yelling at me for not getting Longtube headers) my Uncle told me to get a new camshaft. I asked him which one and he said he'd take care of it. I left it with him for a weekend and picked it up on a Monday morning.
After standing there with my mouth agape for a minute after listening to the idle, I nailed it out of the parking lot and was, first of all, mesmerized by the scary, scary sound it adds. But the pick up difference is very noticeable and combined with the basically unrestriced exhaust, and 4:10 gears makes for scary acceleration and overall speed and quickness.

Sounds like it's worth it. Did your uncle buy you the cams and put them in for you? Is he freakin rich??

DEFINAETLY worth it!!! Haha..well he is rich lol..but he ordered it for me and I payed him back..but he doesnt charge me for install so that's where I save. But, yes it is definaetly worth it and you should jump all over that first opportunity..if not for the power and speed for the sake of the noise!!! I feel like I'm driving a nascar now with my exhaust..Hell with any exhaust the cam has to sound beastly..the amount of gurgle is what really makes it.
But, it depends on your taste of noise, personally I like the raw gurgle unrestricted sound..it just spells power to me, along with "Do You Really Wanna F*ck With Me?" to all those ricers..but yeah don't worry about the noise it is definaetly a power and speed upgrade..a lot of bang for your buck

btw, about your exhaust, ive never heard of Pacemaster, but, theyre probably something like Pacesetter, and they target more for the import crowd, but, if it works it works, and as for the headers and catback: BBK is good and so is SLP, so, exhaust sounds fine to me. but, exhaust is more of sound preference since diff companies sound different

They have far superior grinds for cams these days then the old 3\4 inch cam. That is old school!!!
That it is my man!!! That's what I was going for, the classic muscle car ballsy type of feel to it. When my Unlce told me to get a camshaft I took out my 5.0 Magazine and he threw it out and told me to let him take care of it..I listened and it has payed off lol..Whatever works works...

Yeah, sorry that was a typo..it's pacesetter..yeah my friend told me about them (he's got rice) and when I went to the website they had off road h pipes for 95 GTs so I got it..I am very pleased with it..talk about unrestricted flow..
You are very right that exhaust is a sound preference and I wanted the mean gurgle sound and with my set up, that is exactly what I have..just wondering what you guys have as catbacks, and if not SLP, why not? sound preference? too loud? jw
I'm still stuck on trashing the MAF sensor. I am pretty sure the car wouldn't run without it. It's the only way the computer knows how much gas to give the engine. Do you mean you replaced the stock intake with an upgraded unit. Somehow the MAF sensor has to be in there somewhere.
agree with ^^^^^^^^ there's no way that engine is running at it's best without the MAF sensor sending the signal to the computer. it might be running in the "limp home" mode is the sensor it gone, but no way is it running the best it could without it.
