i'd go with finishing the exhaust,K&N, MAF, then port the lower intake, then if there is money left go with some more boltons/ pullies, fan or something like that ...........


also have someone who knows what they are doing advance the timing, and adjust the TPS, these are free HP ........

i am in the middle of the same thing i am just starting to put aftermarket parts on. i am starting with headers, h-pipe, air intake. looking to do alot more after the car is paid off and not a daily driver. if you car is going to be a daily driver i would not recomend doing alot to it. just make it breath and it will be happy. also an electric fan works nice i have one and the car stays nice and cool.

Not goign to be a daily driver, so I am throwing gas mileage out the window. I know down the road I would want to do heads and full coil over suspension, but for now I am lookign for thigns to just enlighten the proformance of it.

I was talkign to Chris(racingtheburg) about doing the 5 lug conversion and he said that he read in a Ford mag that the 4 lug is just as strong as the 5, is this true?

Yes Graves, we are still at 66th and 118th. We just moved to the back of the building.

TheShow50h is correct, we can usually install a set of 3.73 gears for under $400 out the door.

As with all our sales, cash talks.

The mods that I think are good "starter" performance mods that I have been very happy with have been......

Steeda Tri-Ax
Underdrive Pullies
14* Timing (Definately makes a difference)

And even tho they really aren't much of a starter mod.....1,72 roller rockers made a big difference and I was very happy with them.
