Re: more power

Try a cold-air intake, longtube headers (if emissions are no concern) and a cat-back exhaust next.

Re: more power

Jet Hot makes very high quality headers. Call them up and ask about their longtubes. K&N Intake, I suggest magnaflow or Hooker car back exhaust. Like the magnaflow better tho. Then once you get all those done, time for a nasty cam and a good tune

Re: more power

Maybe we should ask how much $$ you have to spend. Cause you probably don't have enough to start looking into a cam before you finish your bolt on's. Stick to a CAI, and cat back exhaust. You should be able to get both for 400-600 depending on what you get. If you still have $$, set aside about $1000 for some Jet Hot LT's and an ORP, and new plugs and wires. After you do that, you can still do a tune to get more power. I got 21 RWHP from a tune, right after I did my headders. If you have that much $$, then start asking about a cam.

Re: more power

f-bodys including me dominate mustangs at the 1/8 mile track i go to.You might also want to install throttle body air foil which helps smooth out the air intake and increases the velocity of air going to the engine.You really wont feel a big difference in power,but it will give you a few extra ponies for 50 bucks.One mod that wont cost you anything is a tb coolant bypass.I actually did it on mine just an hour ago.lol.It did give better throttle response.

Re: more power

Well now you're talking. Get all the bolt on's that I said earler, some ported heads and a cc306 cam. And also get some 1.6 RR's.

If you have $$ left over, you might want to look into some suspension work. LCA's really helped out my traction.
