More power

StangAddiction · December 30th, 2007, 08:22 PM

Im looking to make more power out of the stang without forced induction or goin internal... RIght now i currently have:

U/D Pulleys
Cold Air
FRPP 70mm TB
C&L Plenum
Steen Racing Stage 2 Heads
Comp Cams XE270 Cams & Adj. Cam Gears
Mach LT Headers
Mac H-pipe
Stock Catback

Im already planning on a catback, the stock one is a huge bottleneck, but other than that i really dont know what else to get to make more power. Any suggestions?

electric water pump should give you a few ponies

03TropicGt · December 30th, 2007, 08:26 PM

gears too thatll really wake the car up, 4:10s

HMUSN · December 30th, 2007, 08:27 PM

a tuner for one.
than I would get suspension upgrades

GTsetGO · December 30th, 2007, 08:27 PM

you pretty much have the bolt ons covered.

Nitrous out of the question as well?

i would go with some frpp 4:10 and a nice tuner, after you get gears deff get a tune and you will see a huge differance!

StangAddiction · December 30th, 2007, 08:33 PM

The car already has an SCT 4-bank chip and i've got 4.10 gears and built rear end and shifter...Sorry left some things out...

Im thinkin bout nitrous... Suspension's not totally out of the question either, but im really looking for power without emptying the pockets...

HMUSN · December 30th, 2007, 08:37 PM

you will feel more power if you do suspension.
what good is power if you can't put it to the ground?

StangAddiction · December 30th, 2007, 08:40 PM

Yeah im considering an MM Road N Track Kit... But it's a tad expensive...I dont really wanna go light on the suspension side if i do touch it though..

GTsetGO · December 30th, 2007, 08:40 PM

the NX plate kit is great. I have it on my car and I love it

SWEET2KSTANG · December 30th, 2007, 08:48 PM

c&l maf, w/p, aluminum d/s.

Get a driveshaft and upper and lower control arms. If you're hitting the track, tires won't hurt either. Hmmm shocks/struts and springs... The suspension mods are about the only thing you can do unless you want to do something major or get on the juice.

Yeah...not much else i can do...I'd raise the compression ratio for a little moe torque but im gonna be going with an SC or Turbo in the near future so..That'd be pointless. I think im just gonna go ahead and have the shortblock rebuilt. Im actually really considering a 5.4 swap if i find the time and money...Who knows?

KingChronic · January 1st, 2008, 11:43 AM

as others said. gears, catback, tuner, and maybe even a little spray.

marcd · January 1st, 2008, 12:46 PM

i would do the driveshaft with an alm flywheel. and some controle arms

TheBusher · January 1st, 2008, 03:02 PM

a/c delete, electric water pump, aluminum flywheel & DS, light weight and/or smaller rims, MAF, use all synthetic lubs (I would recommend Royal Purple), 4.10s, tuner. Suspension and tires will really help your launches.

Im not looking to lose my streetability...this is a daily driver...

Mach Boy · January 2nd, 2008, 12:41 PM

The only things from his list that would lose the comforts of a DD are the A/C delete and the smaller rim.

MustangMatt96GT · January 2nd, 2008, 12:58 PM

nitrous. I just bought a kit. also, get an aluminum DS and Flywheel. and then lightwieght wheels like Prostars.

04GTAMPA · January 2nd, 2008, 01:18 PM

What are your goals? good track times, street action, kick in the pants? You're pretty much borderline with what you can do without going internal or adding nitrous/supercharger.
