Hey guys ive got a 94 GT with Several Mods already on the car when i purchased it. So far its got the bbk cold air intake, trickflow intake plenum, bbk headers, borla exhaust, bored to a 308 with forged internals and a custom mild cam, also has the MSD ignition, and a high flow water pump. What should be my next step? Should i get heads or go with gears next? any suggestions should be more than appreciate. Everything i just stated was someone elses project im just picking up where he left off...

Gears will get you a difference you can feel rather inexpensively.

Sweet i was thinking that as well. Now the heads are still stock after the engine was bored out and with the new cam, will that make a difference? Shitty part is that i dont have the paper work on the cam

I saw some trickflow heads on summit racings website for $2700 that came with their own cam and everything else. Wasn't that bad of a price

You really need to decide what your goals for this car are. You have a 94 GT, if you want to build it into a sexy monster, then yes, second mortgage the house, sell children, rob banks, whatever it takes, but if you are just looking to cruise around and have a good time, ughh.....

I guess I am saying, 2700 is a lot of money to spend on a car you probably only paid twice that for, unless you have big plans for the car.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way.

No worries lol, my goal is to make it quick and sexy lol. I tried uploading some pics but not sure if they uploaded right. I'm open to any suggestion so. I won't be trippin unless its something really immature LOL.

1LOUDGT · October 1st, 2011, 07:05 AM

How much money do you have to spend?

94Stang5.0L · October 1st, 2011, 07:19 PM

$3000

1LOUDGT · October 2nd, 2011, 07:26 AM

So everything else on the motor is stock? MAF, throttle body, injectors, pullies?
Any suspension work done to the car?

Injectors I believe r stock same with pulles and MAF, throttle body is BBK, and suspension is stock no work as far as I know.

Id say with 3000, throw on a used SC/turbo, gears, control arms, Subframe connectors, and find a set of used alum. heads. And still probably have some money left over.

Right on, do u have any ideas on where to pick some of that up? Im not a big fan of ebay. dont really trust what im getting from that site. bad experiences but thats a whole other story

lol

If your engine is running well I would do suspension next. You can update your shocks, struts, lowering springs for about $450.00 including isolators and another +/- $100.00 for caster camber plates. Find some used wheels 17 X 9/10. I think the 05 Bullitt’s will fit your car. They are an 8” rim but you can put a pretty fat tire on the back and craigslist is inundated with them. Then short throw shifter, 3.73 gears and bearing kit. If you have any money left over get an aluminum drive shaft. If you join Corral they have a nice classified section.

No keep the Cobras. I was just offering an inexpensive option to stock wheels. I left out sub frame connectors in my previous list.
