1 save the stereo for your other car
2 why would you buy a factory replacement flywheel
3 i would get a anderson powerpipe

Pioneer "PREMIER" head unit - alpine is better or even kenwood excelon
Kenwood door speakers - they suck
Pioneer rear speakers - theres better ones for the price
Rockford fosgate tweeters suck and you should get your interior speakers to match and you should get a highs amp
MTX amp and 12 inch subs - i would say rockford / JL

Steeda strut tower brace - useless.....well kinda unless your a vert


the biggest concern - brand new t-5....for that price you can rebuild the one you got for cheaper and make it stronger

and that sure is a whole lot of money to make around 250 hp to the flywheel

im not saying your list is bad im just bored.....nice list....

i dont think a lot of the stereo comments are very accurate......and i do know a few things about stereo equipment.....my stereo in my truck will do about 150 decibals and thats only running a 2 ohm operation on my amp.....and i am running a premier head unit which i think is just as good as any....i would put kenwood right there with it and alpine below those two......there is nothing wrong with kenwood door speaker.....fosgate does make some really good amps but i wouldnt say they have the best subs.....jl is about as good as you can get for the most part on subs.....yes pioneer arent the best door speakers for the price

[White Thunder]

we are coming from the same point of view maybe i misworded. i love kenwood excelon decks.......not a big pioneer fan whatsoever. I have a rockford bd1000 and 2 T1's if that aint good i dont know what it is and i know i can go above a 150 (not talking shit) your right jl is great but there amps aren't as good.

my biggest point was to get matching interior speakers and a highs amp

what are you running

[Devine]

Sounds like a pretty good deal, already got a good bit of the common maintenance out of the way. Those IACs are like $70, ticked me off.

[Alan]

Hey,I just wanted opinions,but you know what they say about opinions!!!!!

[White Thunder]

lol like i said good list but buying a new t-5 is a bad idea

[Alan]

I'm still up in the air about the nitrous,I've read alot about both kits(wet or dry) I guess I'll make my own mind.Who is Whitethunder and how old is he,If you read this Whitethunder answer on your own.

An Anderson Power Pipe in his case will not be a good idea. He is using a C&L mass air meter and those meters do not work well with the Power Pipe because the mass meter is mounted in the fenderwell at the end of the pipe. C&L meters use different tube sizes for calibration. If it is mounted at the beginning of the Power Pipe the air velocity will not be great enough through the little tube to give accurate readings.. Chances are the car will not run right. As a matter of fact Anderson Ford recommends not using C&L meters besides the reason I told you and also because of there erratic sampling curve due to the inherent air turbulence inside the small sampling tube. All other mass air meters are calibrated electronically the way they should be for a more stable sample curve for the cars computer to work with. By changing sample tube size they use volume and velocity of the intake charge to measure and the sampling curve is not as smooth and harder for the cars computer to work with.. If you get a Anderson Power Pipe for a N\A car you have to run a Pro-M shorty meter. Also besides the Power Pipe that meter works best with their Programmable Management System which I have also along with the Power Pipe so I have the Pro-M.

Who said anything about buying a new T-5. It looks to me it says "New TREMEC 5 Speed Transmission." I dont think that is a list of parts he is buying but stuff thats already on the car...

[ryans88gt]

I agree that I wouldn't put a C & L MAF at the end of a pipe. You will almost certainly have idle problems.

[Alan]

The mods are were on the car when I bought it.

im running a premier head unit(9800bt) i have jl tr's as my door speakers and rear speaker......i have the fosgate 1000 bd running two 12" kicker solobaric L7s in a super bass pro box.....i havent had it meter since i put dynomat in the roof since the subs are firing straight up but the last i hit was 149.2 and im just running a 2 ohm operation on the amp so i have a lot more power that i can let loose.......i really wish i had a pair of jl w6s to replace those subs though..... i wasnt disagreeing with a whole lot of what you said i just think the pioneer headunits are actually pretty good pieces....they have about the best tuning options that i have ever seen as far as equalizers and sub control.....i can control the frequency goin and level of the front and rear speakers separately and control the level and slope and frequency of the subs plus a lot more....i like kenwood and jl stuff a lot though......and i guess we have officially jacked this thread
