you can get both heads and headers man
Parts - Corral.net : Ford Mustang Forums
half my build was from this site, love it

[flyin ryan]

-3.73 gears
-remove the padding under the carpet in the hatch area
-delete any goofy shit you don't need in the engine bay
-buy some used weld draglites and put some mickey thompson drs on the rears
-practice launching the car with different air pressure in the rear tires
-off road x or h pipe
-bump timing up and run 91-93 octane depending on your area and timing setting

I am in the same boat as you. Bought my first 5.0 about 3 months ago. So far I have put a cold air intake, MAF, BBK shortie headers, X-pipe, and flowmasters. I went to the track on friday and I gained a full second, both runs were on street tires. Not to mention it was 109 degrees when I made my best run. My base line run was 15.4, I ran 14.45. Not too bad for a vert with over 100K... I just bought a 306 short block with a x303 cam. Heads will be ordered next week. I am shooting for low 12's with the combo.

^^^^^^^^^
Niiicccee..Im very curious how much of a difference ur gunna feel with that 306
but hell yeaah if u get that shii to run low 12's!

Which will make a fantastic drag car, but will suck balls if you ever want to take your car through the twisties or if you're into high-speed stuff.

LOL and your basing this off of what the weld wheels suggestion? perhaps but the kid said he wants to race and win. Never said shit about taking an off ramp at 160mph while getting a handjob from a tranny so why mention this?

Im sure he's able enough to take the 15 minutes to unbolt his lighter weld wheels and bolt up his ponys with the killer 225's on them and go Tokyo drift on all his boys

[ReverendDexter]

You're making the assumption "race" means drag, and yeah, that was based off the suggestion for Welds and DRs.

[brad0502]

that is true, not a corner carver. The only turn I am interested in is the left hand turn to pick up my time slip.

Soo the next thing on my list will definatly be headers and gears.. how r the 3.73 gears?

Thats all good but for his advice you needed to take all of it not just parts. 24lb injectors, and 76mm MA will not do anything for you right now. They are supporting mods that go along with the rest of the stuff that he mentioned Heads,Cam,Intake. It is stuff you WILL need but you don't want to put on right now, you should aslo get an AFPR and 255LPH fuel pump. But if you put these things on without the top end kit you are going to have to get it tuned or you will be running too much gas.

[fogged306]

Should've listened to 93hatch. Now you've spent money and the car isn't going to be much faster at all. If you bought a new h-pipe and you had stock headers on there, then when you buy your longtube headers you'll need another new h-pipe. The ones for the shorty headers don't fit longtubes.

nitrous slicks win... ha ha jk

Yea I decided im just gunna order the bbk shorties nxt payday..n forget about the longtubes :/ soo hopefully by this coming up weekend ill have my 24lbs injectors,76mm mass air,and a bbk cold air intake..Im goin to order the headers this friday..
should I wait and get them all installed at once?..lol srry if thats a dumb ? ha

and what about my top end??..im so lost on wat to do for it..suggestions yall?

[FastStang91Lx]

In other words..... DO NOT PUT THE 24's IN WITHOUT HEADS or you are gonna NEED A TUNE! You can't just throw more fuel at something that doesn't need it. The TFS Street or Track top end kit would do you wonders and would get you in the horsepower area of NEEDING the 24's. Either way... a tune is best no matter what.

But now you might get to tell hatch in 90 days that you wished you would have read before shopping

[91sleeper]

With a 24# MAF the car will run fine with the 24#inj A tune would help but not ''NEEDED" you are not going to have any performance gains by using them and I wouldnt run them unless needed. Leave the 19s in it and send the 24s back if you can or sell them. But if you are dead set on them then might wanna get a adj fuel pressure reg.

LOL yea u might be right about thankin hatch..haha..but nah its all good I assume im gunna need them anyways down the road..
anyone know where I can get a good top end kit and wat they range in price??
and yes if a tune is necessary I have no problem gettin one..my car really needs it.

[FastStang91Lx]

I'm a TF guy, so I like the TF kits, which can be had at summitracing.com or you can piece together whatever you like using any brand of heads... but beware of the "cheap" heads out there. Research all heads before purchasing.

My buddy has AFR heads on his car and likes them, so each to his own. You can't really go wrong with any set of good quality heads.

[StckFox]

gt40 top end, cheap and effective for your baseline application

[91sleeper]

^ you can buy better for a lil more money. I would skip that step and save a lil longer and get some trick flows or AFR

[flyin ryan]

24's on a stock car will help you go slower..
