Hi Guys,
It's been a very long time since I have logged on here as I sold my sn95 5.0 over a year ago. Anyways, I'm back as my friend just purchased a '99 GT and has cash to spend on upgrades as the stock power isn't cutting it for him anymore.
We have a general idea of what we want which is:
-Cams
-TB
-intake mani
-Headers (shorties preferred as for ease of dropping tranny)
-x-pipe
-3.73 gears
-a tune (SCT diablo etc)
-Clutch (thinking king cobra but what stage for the power)
This is just the basic and I was thinking would put him just over 300whp tuned on pump. We were going to go all out and do heads etc but decided to tone it down for now to see how he liked just the "basics".
The car now, as far as engine mods goes, has just a h-pipe back (after the h-pipe) exhaust and from what I can tell is flowmaster and a K&N filter kit. It's only got 30,000 miles on the clock so it's a nice fresh engine to "wake up".
As the modular mustang is new to me as far as mods goes I was wanting your guys advice on what we should get in each category.
He is looking for a good mid to high range power so the cam grind would need to suit that goal. I was thinking a 270ish--280ish grind but then again these engines are new to me so thats why I'm coming to you guys.
We want the best options and price needs to be somewhat reasonable but if the difference is that big then he's willing to spend the extra bucks. Quality over quantity is what is wanted.
Looks forward to your advice and hope to hear them soon. Once we get a good definative list we will place the orders in fact he wants to do it now lol but I wanted to make sure we get the best bang for the buck so to speak. Also, if you think there is something missing for this list of mods please let us know. (i.e. fuel upgrades, larger MAF etc etc.)
Thanks guys!
Take care,
Josh
