Cold Air intakes, 24lb injectors/MAF, 6AL boxes, shorty headers, throttle body spacers, doing either intake/cam/heads without doing the other 2. Under drive pulleys
I've done almost all of these in the past. Each one was stupid in it's own special way and amounted to a lot of wasted time. Live and learn

Tubular K member, what a waste of money. It's way more beneficial to put that money towards more hp.
Deleting back seat, stupid
Removing the A/C, stupid
Removing the PS, stupid
Msd 6al, does nothing except break
Drag springs on a car that doesn't see alot of track time. Makes your car handle literally like a boat.
All things i have done.
I have a few more that i have a distaste for, but at the moment i'm not up for arguing. Probably cut into my titanfall time.

IMO gears should be tayloring the power band and in between 3.08 -3:55, on the 3.08-3.27 side for power adders and 3.27- 3.55 side for high compression n/a motors.
...and deleting the A/C is a terrible idea

3.27-3.55? Where does that come from? Or are we just disregarding the possibility of different powerbands?

- 3.73's

- Gt40 heads/intake but stock cam with 1.7 RR
FWIW my car never had smog gear since I've owned it but I am contemplating going back. In tired of smelling like 93 octane.

I like my 3.73's. I don't regret putting them in. 3rd and 4th gear is a blast. Isnt that what these fox bodies are all about?
My car was bone stock when I got it and it's way better with the mods I've done. I strongly disagree that any of them were a waste.

Dont completely agree underedrives can give noticeable gains for little cash. Probably one of the best HP/$ mods possible, as long as you get a kit that normalizes the alternator speed.
Also the stock cam is nice, intake/heads need to be done, but you can get away without a cam change , especially if you want to do more street and keep your low end. Alot of horror stories about cam changes that have left people longing for more low end.

10-15 years ago before hci kits were widely available and affordable I think gears were a good option. Now that we can bolt 75-100hp on to our cars in a weekend on a variety of ways I think gears should be one of the last things done.
