Default Bolt Ons

I just purchased my 93 LX 5.0 a couple months ago and since then ive put on flowmasters, 4.10s, and a shift kit. What are some other bolt ons that i could add to my stang that arent really pricey but i could add some good HP?(example: supercharger$$$$).

i have a 1990 LX 5.0 it was AOD, my first mods were..4.10's and off rd h-pipe and n20, i dont recomend n20 untill u get more shit and ditch that AOD...id say a off rd h-pipe,catback kit and some longtubes, that should cost ya bout $700 for all depending what brand and if u choose HTS coating or not, and it should make a very noticable differnece, u didnt give a price range ud like to spend so im just working off of what i consider good mods for the $....if u have a larger budget than that, id say also get a MAF and CAI, as for the CAI in dunno what brand...i use a MAC and its ok, but ive heard Densecharger is a really good one. MAF and CAI will set ya back bout $425 depending what brand ya go with. if ya have any more questions catch me on AIM and ill talk to ya bout it...

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

tb, MAF, set of pulleys, short tube headers if you are going n/a or sray, long tubes if a blower is in your future, intake, heads, cam........up grade fuel system, then some juice.

also mix in some suspension work somewhere along the way.

true, your mass airs are horrid, they are like 50mm with a post throught them..... id say do the mass air before the TB or both at the same time.... hey you know you can do some free mods like adjusting your TPS , advancing your timing, hollowing out your cats, weight reduction.....and such

my car is remotly fast and im runing stock tb, my maf is 72mm which is quite larger than stock...i totally forgot bout the free mods,good point..i have my timing at 14*,i had help doing it cuz i didnt know how but it only took like 10 minutes to do so id say its worth a shot. the only bad thing is if u run under 93 octane u wont be able to anymore(i never did anyways tho) cuz ull detonate.
