i have a 89 fox body gt and i dont know what to buy a cold air or a ram air kit( help) and is it true that the 89 fox body have the best motors thanx
forged pistons went away in 93. 89 suspensions aren't as good, but 89-92 have the same motor. 88CA cars are also the same.meangreen92 said:The '89 is the first 49 state Mass Air car. It also has forged pistons. Ford quit using the forgings sometime around/during the '92 model year. '89s also don't have airbags, which are something many of us would rather not have anyway.
I would worry about a bunch of crap other than air (i.e. water, debris) being rammed into the air filter. I guess it depends where your ram air intake is located. I would probably only run the under-the-front-bumper ram air system on the track. (This is opinion).
I've got a "fenderwell" cold air kit on mine, and it works real well. The filter doesn't seem to get fouled/dirty at all. I noticed a power increase right away. Although, the dirtier the existing air filter, the more drastic the power increase.
