Meh, you're only as old as you think you are, right? My take on things anyway.

As far as better, no. Just been around them for a while. Guys like Aaron who have torn many cars down to the bare metal have gotten into a few more things with these cars then I.

I had an 89' LX with the exact same interior, black car also.

Looks like your car was in good shape overall. So you went to what looked to be a bone stock GT, to a blown 93' Cobra? I'd say it was worth the wait.

As far as my comment about the rear sitting a bit high, it could be a bunch of things, but nothing to worry about...........just a casual observation.

Any idea of the power the car is making? Shoud be around 400 I would guess.

BTW, welcome to the site. Relatively small group here, but a good bunch of guys with some knowledge after messing around with the Fox cars for 20+ years.

You know your Mustangs. The car was professionally dyno tuned and makes 389 hp @ 5400 rpm and 397 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm. The tuner indicated this was equivalent to approx. 440-450 net hp & 450-460 net torque.

How much power are you getting from the Novi and Kenne Bell set-ups on your cars?

Without a doubt!

Thanks. I have the stock seats, wheels, fuel injectors, etc. I was actually thinking of selling the seats because the Corbeaus in the car are so comfortable, especially in fast corners. However, it seems I'd be better off holding on to as much of the stock equipment as possible.

Is it a leather or cloth car? Definitley hold on to them if they are in good shape.

The KB car makes about the same HP as yours, but more TQ. The Novi car last dyno'd at 550rwhp at around 13.5 psi, but I've since upped the boost and added larger injectors and meth. Probably around the 630ish mark.

Opal grey leather. The seats are in pretty good shape (typical Ford leather upholstery wear issues) probably worth holding onto.
