alright so i lied... ive had the car for about 8 months now, and so far, all that is done to it is the 5 x 10 k&n filter, platinum spark plugs, flows
(h-pipe), (i know this is not important much) 2 12's on a 2000watt amp (with leds ^.^v), new front pins, firehawk gt tires, a little suspension work although im not sure what has been done previously.

just wondering what cheap things i could do to the car. i was thinking a whole new top end (twisted wedges 2.02 and a trickflow top) then maybe a solid roller cam (i know they are a pain to maintain but i want my car to cause orgasms to the ears). if you have any other suggestions about what to replace/clean, let me know =)

i am really new to the mustang world and would like to learn alot.

get new headers, an intake manifold, and a camshaft..those are cheap buys that improve your car.

[tehdwarvenn]

hmm any recommendations on a good deal on a solid roller cam? i heard the diff between a solid and hydro and i love the throaty chug of the solid

[notsoslow50]

jegs or summit racing...you can always find deals.

[notsoslow50]

they run you a little more than a hydaulic i believe

[tehdwarvenn]

What do you mean run me a little more? And can you please explain the difference between the solid flat and the solid roller? cause the rollers are $$$$$ =( thinking about getting flat now...

[tehdwarvenn]

i was looking at this product

[notsoslow50]

when i say run you a little more i meant more money..if you want a roller just save up for it..if thats what you wanted get it..just remember you get what you pay for..rollers have more lift and duration than a hyrdo one and increase cylinder pressure. but if your jsut looking for a street strip cam jsut get a hydro one man.. i dont know what you are trying to get out of your stang but a solid cam might be too much and uneccasary.

[tehdwarvenn]

alright thanks for your insight. to tell the truth, i almost know nothing about cars but i do learn well. i hope you dont mind all the questions. another question.. what causes the car to chug? is it the lift, duration, or the shape (flat, roller)?

[notsoslow50]

i think its the duration when your at idle..im not exactly sure

not extensive, but it should help your general perspective

yes it is the duration, its how long the intake and exhuast stay open, its the overlap..

i would not recommend to convert to a solid roller or flat motor if you do not have extensive mods to it and a cam wont really do crap to a motor with stock heads!!!buy the trick flow kit

+1 solid roller is not a practical cam for the street..why go flat tappet when you have roller stock..rollers better..and if you have a stock roller block the conversion from roller to flat tappet is a biznach

[Iownastang]

solids are fine for the street,its just the point to put it in an almost stock motor
