Tässä ote
http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2000 ... dex2.shtml sivuilta, artikkelista käy hyvin ilmi, ettei itse koneeseen tarvitse tehdä mitään päästäkseen alle 15 s varttimaililla. Kyseisiltä sivuilta löytyy monia muitakin artikeleita uudenpien ja vanhempien Mustangien virittelystä. Mutta kiinittäkää huomio alustamuutoksiin ja asiohin joita tehdään koneen ulkopuolella, vaihteisto, perä ym.

88 LX 5.0, AOD
A bone-stock AOD mustang can be expected to run 15.0's, 14.90's if you are lucky. Knocking off over one second without touching the long-block, power adders, or slicks, isn't easy but can be done if you make the following modifications to other areas of the car. Even though the electric fan and pullies help free up power on the street, they actually served no purpose during the 13.94 run because we eliminated the belt. We've listed the approximate costs and ET reductions in brackets.
With a T5 manual car, you obviosuly don't need the shift kit, but all the other mods can get a manual car into the 13.70's with good driving.
3.55's gears, minimally, are a must.
Estimated gain, 2 to 3 tenths. ($150 + labor)
Trans Go Shiftkit is needed to speed up the AOD, and to hold rpms to 5000.
Estimated gain, 2 tenths. ($110)
Free-flowing Dynomax exhaust and shorty headers.
Estimated gain, 1 to 2 tenths. ($500)
Performance Suspension Components upper and lower control arms resulted in low sixty-foot times on 225-60R15 radials! Estimated gain, 2 tenths on radials! ($530)
Remove air intake silencer, add new air filter or K&N.
Estimated gain, <1 tenth. ($free - $50)
Remove accessory belt (or short belt), ice intake.
Estimated gain, 2 tenths. ($free)
Drive it like a rental. (Priceless!)
