Everybody wants more power, and a supercharger is a glorious way to achieve it, but it also carries a $3,000 price tag. So what performance steps are there that deliver more bang for your buck? Glad you asked, because Mustang & Fords offers you a bunch of no-buck and low-buck power and performance tips. Taken alone, you probably won’t notice any single improvement. But added together, they form the little details that add up to allowing your car to run a tenth faster or more consistently in the brackets.
Honestly, our low-buck price range goes from free to a couple of hundred bucks. For example, we suggest buying used small-block aluminum heads. They might run $300 to $500, which is only one-third to one-half as costly as new. In our book, that’s cheap. Some tips require removing parts while others are simple do-it-yourself projects, and we give you leads on where to locate these parts and services. Read and consider the tips that might apply to your specific application. Then, like eating M&Ms, start adding these improvements one at a time. You’ll learn that you just can’t stop at one.
