104 autolite plugs work best for most mod'ed 3800's.
if you get everything working right and if you have no KR ,with the 2.5", FWI,some exhaust mods, and mild cam... you could possible run mid 14's maybe low 14's if you loose some weight and launch it well.

would going straigt to a 2.5 inch pully blow my motor its all stock changeing out the t-stat and a fwi when i can and the autolites and new plug wires mine are gettin preety old i figure new ones will get it back performing right other question where/what is a good 180 stat

honestly i thought i could go straight to a 2.5 but im not im going with a 2.6.

things that you should do to run a 2.5

FWI

autolight 104s

180 t stat

opened up exhaust(high flow cat, 2.5 tubing any high performance muffler)

and wire as u stated that you need

as for a good 180 t stat i got mine at advanced auto for like 10 bucks its a stant

k cool those are all things i plan on doing to it too just now the pullys moved from first to after i do all those

stant makes a standard tstat and a heavy duty one. they are both blue and yellow package but the heavy duty one is more blue than yellow and vice versa

i was looking at mustang cobras and i see alot of people change the pullys to smaller ones. can i do that to my 95, if so were can i get one and do i have to do any other mods to put one on.

sure can check out pulley boyz or ZZP

do a 2.5 max, with autolight 104 spark plugs, and a 180 t stat

next time post this in the series 1 section ur still new so its ok. but if u have any question this is a great bunch of guys and we will help you out the best we can. welcome to the site

Okay, so i checked out Pulley Boys and there are several different sizes listed for the series one. All i want to do is pick up some more power, and be able to hear that sexy whine that we all love. My question is; wat is a pulley size that will pick the power up enough to tell a difference, but wont hurt my dependability or mileage too much. my budget is around 2,200.00 for upgrades so an intake is in the works utilizing a down pipe from a powerstroke- it makes the perfect bend to the fenderwell- and exhaust too. (any tips for an actually decent sounding muffler will garner praise from me) Also, will i need to flash my PCM after i do the swap or is there even a company who flashes the 95's? since nothing else seems to be available for series ones. Once again, I got plenty of dough to spend on this, so no suggestions are out of my budget.(hopefully lol...)

well you have a 95 riv with a series one...... GREAT CAR..... but unfortunately there isn't the aftermarket that there is for the series two......... the only place that i KNEW to get series one stuff was AT [url]seriesoneperformance.com[/url] UNFORTUNATELY the site seems to have closed down..... im not up to date on my series one modding guide but im sure other 95 owners can chime in here

Start with the biggest dia SC pulley that you can find, just a little smaller than stock. Anything smaller, you want a scan tool for detecting knock (KR). If you see zero knock at WOT, you can drop another pulley size.

you can get a pulley from ZZP and pulley boys
