dallas mustang does it for 300, would i need one with a cai, flowmaster 40's and a custom H pipe

Wouldn't hurt but definetely not required. I got my SCT chip and dyno tune for $375. Obviously its going to vary from state to state though. I would also recommend gears, 4.10's especially if u have an auto. If I didn't do so much freeway driving I would have them but when I get the money I'm still going to put them in anyway.

did you have any supporting mods? or did you just slap the kit on a stock GT? im seriously thinking about some nitrous about now. any side affects or precautions i should be aware of?

Gears, catback, 70mm tb, pulleys, o/r x, and a chip. I did the wet kit and sprayed a 100 shot all the time and my car was ok. Highly recommended is a window switch. With that you should be all set. I'm sure you could spray on a stock GT, cause mine just had minor bolt on's at the time. Just get a nitrous tune.

did you have the NX kit? how was installation? what does a window switch do? where did you pick it up? did you need anything like a bottle warmer or purge switch? sorry for all the questions, i just want to get as much info as possible.

Do a search on here or go here and they will have all the info you need :nice: You dont really NEED all those things...they are mostly for safety, but well worth it, trust me!
 
Gears will cost you more thatn $500. The gears them selves are cheap ($150), but between the install cost ($300) and the speedo compensator ($100) it is going to be expensive. Not to mention, now you have to deal with the fact that your tires will not be able to give you enough traction. The extra torque from the gears will make it had not to smoke the tires in first and second gear.

My suggestion would be:
1) Underdrive pulleys (UPR $110 or Steeda $200)
2) Timing adjuster (MAC $95 or Steeda $120)
3) Short Throw Shifter (UPR $100, Steeda $180, Poo5.0 $160, or MGW $180)
4) Lower Control Arms (Steeda $180, UPR $130, or PRO3i $165)

If you go with the cheaper brands (at the sacrifice of quality) you can get all of the above for around
$110+$95+$100+$130=$435
