Ok, so this winter I am going to be doing some modding. I have decided to stay with the stock internals for now mainly because my parents wont let me build an engine in my garage lol.

I have decided to go FI, I still dont know what though. I think that is going to depend on whatever pops up for sale when i have the cash. I should have enough for something mid to late december.

What do you guys think? Any other mods your would suggest?

[plak424]

sounds like a decent combo, this is where I'd like to take my car in a few months after i graduate college and hopefully find a full time job

[Codeman]

Dang sounds like you have a lot to do. And since you have the LTs I would recommend a SC unless you are fine selling them.

[ESG-642T]

has that package arrived yet snake?

Yeah im leaning towards a procharger D1SC kit

not yet, probably some time this week

If you go turbo, can I buy your LT's? Can't wait to see what you do regardless.

Sure, although im sure shipping would suck and im most likely going to go procharger or vortech. Unless a super good deal pops up on a turbo kit.

Also just bought one of these for my gauges, im thinking boost and wideband. Would i really even need any other gauges?

[Rich J]

Wait to see whats going on with TMA? I also heard JC is going to be making kits relatively soon.

[southfour!]

Also what gauges would you guys recommend? I have Mach 1 gauges in my cluster



the carbon fiber is coming out, it is cracking and i dont like it anymore.

[Rich J]

I think the gauges look fine without carbon fiber. As for gauges, maybe an A/F gauge?

Thats what a wideband is

[Rich J]

Oh oops

[mcqueen]

What's the intake spacer all aboot? I thought that the gains were minimal to none with the Windstar already installed?

[rfcsoulja]

Nice build list bruh. . . .I'm suprised esg recommended the 218/226 .5 108 cam.

[Mr. Red Pony]

lol knowing him, he probably didnt, SF probably asked for it :p

[walt1120]

get cobra gauges but get rid of the red SVT on them. with the cam and ported heads youll be shifting well after 6k so the crappy v6 tach wouldn't be the best IMO the cobra goes up to 8k i believe

its a street car, and im not swapping out the mach ones, i had them custom made. plus getting rid of the SVT and making it work in the sixxer would cost too much.

[mustangmike!]

Where did you get your gauges custome made from ? And what do they look like at night ?
