What does a 93 octane tune mean?

What does a 93 octane tune mean?

The higher the fuels octane rating, the greater the fuel’s resistance to engine knock. When switching from an 87 octane tune to a 93 octane tune you can expect to see an increase of 10 or more horsepower on top of the gains you are already getting from an 87 octane Bama tune.

When did the SVO come out for the Mustang?

All SVOs used the Mustang’s 7.5-inch axle housing; the stronger 8.8-inch housing didn’t come along in V-8 Mustangs until 1986. The 8.8 is a straight bolt-in replacement for the 7.5–rear disc brakes and all. That said, there are no real problems endemic to the 7.5-inch rear.

What was the horsepower of the Ford Mustang in 1986?

1986 Ford Mustang 1986 Ford Mustang SVO Power rose to 205 horsepower and torque rose to 248 lb-ft in mid-1985 and stayed that way for the 1986 model year SVO. This was the last year for the SVO, with a total of 9,844 SVO’s sold throughout its three year history.

What kind of tires did the Ford Mustang SVO use?

WHEELS AND TIRES The SVO ran a flush-faced 16 x 7-inch all-aluminum piece with slotted edges, a -5.625-inch offset and, in a first for the Fox-bodied Mustang, five lugs. The wheel was unique to the SVO and never trickled down into any other Ford products. All stock SVO tires are 225/50R16–the widest tire fitted to a Fox-body to that point.

What kind of brakes did the 1984 Mustang SVO have?

As a consequence of the brake upgrade the SVO had five bolt hubs and axles instead of the four pattern used on lesser Mustangs. These fade resistant brakes provided enough clamping force to bring the SVO to a halt from sixty miles an hour in a scant distance of 158-feet. Not until 1994 would Ford adopt such a setup on the standard Mustang.

What was the Ford Mustang SVO in 1985?

The 1985 SVO only had a few minor changes during its lifetime. The 1986 SVO continued to have the charcoal front and rear bumper moldings, double split rear spoiler, single hole grille, and single offset integrated hood scoop. The Competition Prep package was again offered as an option.

What was the horsepower of the Ford SVO in 1986?

By 1986, the SVO was pretty pointless. It was down 20 horsepower on the newly refreshed, fuel-injected 302, but the price tag was still considerably higher. It certainly brought the right hardware to the fight against its bigger engined sibling but it wasn’t enough to drive sales success.
