:shrug: ok, guys. i will have a little bit of $$$ on friday. like 400-500 (its onle enough for like one part, but if i put a game plan together then i can plan out the rest) i was wondering what should my next mod be? i am really kicking around the idea about the NOS setup. so if i do get a NOS kit i will have to have a custom tune done, if i don't then i will still get a custom tune done, just not a NOS tune. if that makes sense.
The way i look at it. with out getting into heads, cams, supercharger or headers. i don't have much left right?
it will either be, gears, MAF, Xcal and or NOS.
i just spent a bunch of $$$ last month so supercharger is out the window.
but if i get the NOS kit then i was told not to go with the MAF, but to leave it stock.
i guess i could also do a short shifter.
I really want to get some more HP out of her. i would like to hit at least 300 RWHP. is this possible with a N/A engine?
have i missed anything? any ideas? any other bolt on's worth my time or $$$ ???
should i pick up an NOS kit, then an xcal? i could have the shop tune it then. but i'm still a little worried about the NOS idea.
Its still under factory warr (only 22k miles on her). and i would like to be able to put it back to almost stock quickly if need be.
so far i have a densecharger, CAI, BKK 70mm t/b, trickflow plenum & spacer. Mac pro chamber, mac cat back and frpp aluminum driveshaft.

Your not gona get 300 hp NA with out doing something major such as heads, cams, nos

that's not n/a silly :p

anyways, i say gears and a short shifter, get rid of that sloppy ass stock shifter. then you can save up again for heads and cams :nice: are you looking for good track times or just numbers?

yeah pretty much done that's just what I keep telling myself, welcome to the mod bug. But what you said get gears, 4.10's you'll love'em. Shifter is nice I prefer the MGW but I am biased. cams, heads , intake, blower, n2o, suspension, system, ext, mods, brakes, chassis, oh the list keeps going. But since you didn't list any I strongly rec, subframe connectors, and gears next. That way you'll put the power down acc. quicker. If you shop you should be able to do both for 500.

Yeah, but then he's gotta pay for the installation and i'm sure all gears, subframe connectors and install will be over 500

Yeah your right I guess let's see mustangtuning 189.95 with free shipping, Master bearing kit 80, install 200, Subframes on ebay 60 delivered weld them in myself. for a grand total of 529.95. Then again I cann't bat my eyelashes and get cheaper installs, or "discount" parts at steeda either. :D
 
The xcal and predator will both do it. Or you can get a speedcal from dallas mustangs for like $60-$70.

since you'll prob drop the money on a xcal or pred later go ahead and get it now then do the gear change.
