I drive a 1989 Gt Convertible Stock with flowmaster 40's,You heard right i wanna know what I should expect from synthetic vs my old oil, I.e Leaks, burning. Also I'm getting K&N Fuel Injection Performance cold air intake, i wanna know what i should be expecting it I.e hp gains, engine noise (the meaner the better) ect..

I wouldnt do that, save up for HCI kit.

The stock 5.0 HO and non HO, are of obsolete performance and efficiency wise of today's standards.

And if you read this and have been thinking of a HCI or Motor upgrade for years, but have not done so, shame on you
