non power adding parts

03 R Code · November 27th, 2006, 01:58 PM

Is a lightweight drive shaft really worth the 250 clams that I would have to spend on it. Also I know the electric water pump would free up some power but I don't know how much those cost, or how to install one....

I appreciate any help.

In your application....no.

You would be better served to spend that money somewhere else.

Even with the water pump?

I've got the nitrous installed and gears, I guess the next thing would be head work and cams. I need some headers in a bad way too.

Cheapest I have seen the water pump is at www.rpmoutlet.com-$299.99. for a claimed 11HP. Not much is to be gained from bolt ons. My '99 GT Mustang convertible ran a 14.42 stock on a Passport timer as I do not have access to a track. 4.10's, JLT CAI, UDP's, 75mm BBK TB/Plenum, PYPES catted X-pipe and a custom tuned SCT got me a best et of 13.95 and trap of around 102 also on the passport, same road to try to keep it equal. It's fun to drive but like I have been told it's only a 281 c.i. motor. Mark

Not worth it. Save up and invest in non bolt on work. Trust me.

That's an understatement! The 4.10's and tuner were the only things that really did much. I was pleased with the JLT CAI though. Exhaust, UDP's and TB/Plenum were not worth the cost as I got no perceived nor measured HP but since they are only good for around 15HP combined......

Sweet99 makes a valid point, I asked everyone on here a thous. times what was worth it and out of the 5 things I've done so far...

the 410s and the Xcal 2 (Tuner) were the best things I've touched. A little pricey but... well worth it, you can feel the effects of them.
