Have you converted your car to Mass Air or is it Speed Density? What are the power goals you are looking for? How much are you putting down now?

 

[stangjunkie]

havn't dyno'd yet, prob around 320... the best way to describe this car is a weekend warrior, does mainly driving on nice days etc... it is my daily driver but never sees rain or winter use... My goal... i dont really have a specific speed or HP number just faster. as you can see i have a MAF so i have converted. so yeah i was thinking nitrous because its power when i want it and not when i dont but we'll see what comes up here.

Sorry, I guess I skipped over the part about the MAF. I would go ahead and get those subframe connectors installed. Looks like you already have springs and shocks so control arms would be a good choice to get the power to the ground. Personally I don't like nitrous but like you said it is power when you want it. The engine still have the stock bottom end? How many miles on it? I'm planning on a turbo, but that's just me.

I would start with the stroker. How many miles does your shortblock have. A new shortblock will be cheaper than the turbo or supercharger. N02 would be cool but depending on how strong or tired your shortblock is, I would get a solid foundation first.

Now ya see im cheap...
I was thinking i might Stroke it and just freshen up the bottom end while i was in there. Is this an option or should i get a new BOSS block or DSS or something? alot of guys can get 500 on a stock block and i dont think i want to go that much.
