PI heads and Intake, headers, pulleys, 75mm T/B and upper plentum

HMUSN · August 8th, 2007, 07:34 PM

suspension and brakes.

jbm5781 · August 8th, 2007, 08:34 PM

PI intake and cams, 70 or 75mm tb and plenum, u/d pullies

97Cobra · August 8th, 2007, 08:37 PM

headers, tuner, throttle body, springs, k member...how much you lookin to spend because I can keep going...

HMUSN · August 8th, 2007, 08:38 PM

I see it this way...

whats the point of go fast parts when
1.. your can't stop fast
2.. you can't apply the power to the ground

jbm5781 · August 8th, 2007, 08:41 PM

Point well said HMUSN...all the power in the world does you no good if you can't hook up

As they say "Spinnin ain't winnin"

But its always fun to go faster

ujslost · August 8th, 2007, 09:01 PM

subframes and rear control arms both upper and lower

UNOH98stang · August 8th, 2007, 09:22 PM

so would anyone have any PI heads and cams or bigger TB and plenum or anything else that would make me go fast?

HMUSN · August 8th, 2007, 09:27 PM

UNOH98stang · August 8th, 2007, 10:07 PM

yeah but you gotta get it up to the power to spin your tires...lol

my thinking is for every 3 performance parts you need one brake/handling/stiffness mod

97Cobra · August 8th, 2007, 11:43 PM

edit..depending on how much the power mod does for you.. if its a big mod such as cams, supercharger, heads etc just do one big mod then 1 brake/stiffness/handling mod...lol

MustangMatt96GT · August 8th, 2007, 11:43 PM

If I were to start with a fresh car, I would do my suspension and subframes first with sticky tires and a built rear end with 4.10s or 4.30s. That way I could use all the power I am making to its full potenial and then I would start modding the engine for power!

UNOH98stang · August 9th, 2007, 12:03 PM

so now all i have to do is buy the parts and make it happen i was thinking that i should do a chip or programer what do you think about that and also were can i find a good one thats not to much cause i still got to pay for college and all.

HMUSN · August 9th, 2007, 12:04 PM

tuners run about $380.00 man.

the top 2 are SCT and Sniper.

97Cobra · August 9th, 2007, 12:38 PM

but why program it before any mods are in it to program it? you will get more hp programing it after a few mods are on...

UNOH98stang · August 9th, 2007, 01:49 PM

what do you guys think about this proggramer?

HMUSN · August 9th, 2007, 02:54 PM
