i absolutely love my Mustang. When my husband bought it for me for our anniversary, it was the car of my dreams. BUT...i don't know anything about it really, i put the key in and drive. (Blissfully!) Thankfully he's more of a gear head than i am. We've been looking into replacing the original 2bbl carb with a 4bbl (she's a 289 automatic w/ a new dual exhaust). So now i'm learning about CFMs. What can a stock 289 handle? How do i find out what the flow rate is with the current carb? If i drop a 4bbl in, aside from replacing the manifold, what else do i need to do? He talked about perhaps changing the ratio on the rocker arms to avoid doing anything with the cam shaft, is that an option? (i hope i repeated that correctly!) Also, while i'm here, is one brand of headers as good as the next? Patriot and/or Flow Tech particularly? What do the experts like and why? (in other words, how do i choose???) Thanks for the opportunity to ask my questions. Everybody's gotta start SOMEWHERE, right? As much as i love driving my baby, i want to drive FASTER!
