Ford Mustangs! Mustang Max.

1988 5.0HO Mustang GT

Written by Trey Dixon

It's the long, hard journeys that bring the most satisfaction. Just ask Damon, owner of this 1988 5.0HO Mustang GT that started out as a pretty cool car, and has evolved into a machine that any Mustang enthusiast would envy.

For Damon, the project began in 1999 when he became the third owner of the Oxford white beauty. The mileage was good for an 11 year old car at 75,112. At purchase the pony had a slight dent in the rear hatch which allowed some rusting beneath. Also, the passenger door was a little difficult to open and allowed some leakage, the passenger side front quarter panel is bent, and the Flowmaster exaust tips are crooked.

In 1967 the first big-block Mustang was introduced, the S-code 390 which was rated at 320 hp. This Mustang was not able to compete with the hot new SS 396 Camaro , so in 1968 the 428 Cobra Jet engine was introduced, giving the Mustang true muscle car status, but then why stop there? In February 1968 when Bunkie Knudsen arrived in Dearborn he brought with him some strong ideas concerning the Mustang. He believed the popular pony car was a good looking automobile, but that there were a tremendous amount of people out there that wanted a good looking automobile that could perform. He also knew that the Z/28 Camaro, created with SCCA Trans-Am road racing in mind, could handle and stop as well as it could accelerate. Big block pony cars were faster, but left something to be desired going through the curves with all that weight up front.

Ford Super Chips: Are They Worth It?

Your Ford Mustang is a true pony car. A coupe with class and no other car on the road is like it. Heck, GM abandoned the Camaro and Firebird while Mustang sales continue to surge. Could it be that Mustang owners know a good thing when they drive it? You bet! Still, maybe you have considered ways to ratchet up the performance. Even with a V8 installed, perhaps you could squeeze out more power from an already potent engine? If that is the case for you a superchip may be right. However, are they worth it? Let’s take a look at these little technological wonders and see if a super chip is what you really want.
