[cobrastang1995]

hey everyone i jus bought a 1995 mustang cobra that has a few basic mods done already intake, headers, h-pipe, , i was wondering if someone could advise me to what should be my next few mods, i would also like to put a 75 shot of nitrous on the car as well

The usual list of bolt-on mods consists of CAI, larger MAF, larger TB, headers, H or X pipe, catbacks, and underdrive pulleys.
The next stage is HCI (heads/cam/intake). The Cobra items are already pretty decent but with an HCI, you'll gain more HP higher up the rpm range at the expense of some low rev torque. HCI requires other supporting mods like computer tune, higher-flow fuel pump, and tranny upgrade.
Your choice of parts will depend on where in the rpm range you want maximum torque, your desired redline rpm, and your budget.
You do also have the option of forced induction (supercharger, turbo, or nitrous) but remember that the risk of the production block splitting increases as you near 500rwhp.

+1... I am doing NOS too, and i will be running a 100 shot, finish up the engine parts first then move to the jucie. you'll be running good! oh yea and do gears!!! I just order mine and havent even begun to do engine work, gears make a diff!

[Mustangfan99]

larger tb and cai are a nice cheap way to gain some power.

[95opal]

Gears and some N2O!

[95blackbeauty]

Gears. Cai. Ud's.

[nikbait]

Would an underdrive pulley work with a motor that has had a hci kit installed?

[94gt5.0]

Nobody said cam? Underdrive pullies would work, yes. CAMSHAFT. A cam install will significantly increase your horsepower.

[nikbait]

What's the best cams for a mach?

But only if it's done in conjunction with higher-flowing heads and intake. A bigger cam on a motor with stock heads/intake will not perform to its full potential and you'll lose torque lower down the rpm range.

So I know I posted this some where for someone else but I think it's good basic info...

You only lose torque because the powerband is shifted by the cam... it's more than made up on the top end. No, it won't perform to its full potential, but the performance increase will be worth it.

[nikbait]

What would be a good hci for a mach?

[Mustangfan99]

4.10 gears and a tune will do you nicely.

[nikbait]

Yeah, and less expensive too What about wanting to put a SC on a mach? what is needed to do to the engine to prep it for a SC?

[8t6gt]

3.73 gears FTW

[nikbait]

So let me get this straight, I should put 3.73's on a mach before the SC or 4.10's?

[8t6gt]

If you can aford the SC well then hell yes I would do that first but if not gears are a goo first mod

Get the S/c First.

[nikbait]

Hehe ok, so what all's involved in installing a SC on the engine? What, if any mods have to be made?
