Forged Pistons
Up to what year did the 302 have forged pistons? Also how much more HP do the 87-92 302,s have to the 94-95- 302 Mustang GT?

Thanks, Whitelion

I'm pretty sure 88-92 was 225hp and the 94-95 was 215hp.

I heard they adjusted the numbers after 93 so in fact my 90 really had 215 as well

I know that the Fram oil filter is no good. What type of oil filter do you guys use on your Mustang?

Me as well. I was actually going to use Mobil 1 synthetic oil for the very first oil change on the '12, but after reading up on the Motorcraft I went with Motorcraft full synthetic and Motorcraft filter.

That's my plan as well. Can't go wrong with oem stuff.
