For a CAI go for one on EBAY. Same thing, all it is is a tube and filter really. So same performance gains for $30 less.

Well get gears first then exhaust:Mac Lt's, O/R H pipe, Flowmaster catback. Then get your CAI and then a tuner. That would be a good base to start off on and you will have quite a bit of money left over to do what ever with.

[N29468]

O yea and a Spilt-Port intake.

ok awsome guys and for the Cai why does my K&n thats on there have so much wirering and a nother tube into it? with the cai should i just take all that out will it mess up anything? and also how much do u think the labor should cost for the gears and tlok to be put in ?and how much should the labor cost on the H pipe and flowmasters to be put it as well? any rough guesses so i dont get riped?

[Powernewb1]

oh and also whats a good sight to pick up the h pipe and flowmaster 40s at? link maybe?

[N29468]

well gears and tlok install will be 250-300 and for the exhaust i bought my flowmaster catback from the muffler shop and it was 400 for the price of the catback and the install of the catback and the hpipe.

[N29468]

Also if your just doing the hpipe and the catback you could easily do it in your driveway. The only reason i had mine done is because i couldnt find the catback anywhere. Im not sure what your talking about on the CAI but when you install the CAI you will be taking out the entire tube. Heres a link for the install of some parts including the CAI..1999-2004 Mustang Parts Installation Instructions at AmericanMuscle.com

ok so i was looking at this tlok at american muscle http://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-28spline-75-lsd.html that would fit in my 96 correct? and also is that a good price?

[rfcsoulja]

with 3000, I would go with gears and a t-lok as well as cam, heads, and ported upper/lower intake.

+1 on the H/C/I and gears...........go for gears and tlok then a tuner so you can tune in your gears otherwise you will have a speedo thats off, then a cai for cheap the the heads, cam, and intakes and maybe a tb oh and the splitport swap, that alone would make the world of a difference for ya

[Powernewb1]

ok so awsome that gear and tlok link looks great for that price ill deff go with those so where is the next best place to find a tuner and which one also which head and cam and where do i get those and how do u know they will work for my car? my main concern is i dont really know a hole lot dont want to buy anything for hundreds of dollers to find it wont fit hehe

[poindexter18]

First mod should be a split port swap. It's not on the list but is a 40 HP upgrade for you. Silly New edge guys always forget they start out a step ahead of us sn95 guys.

Buy the SCT tuner from american muscle because if you do you will have free tunes for like. For cams look at RPM, SSM or you can conntact Chirs or SSStang. Also buy the Haynes manual for our car. Also for gears make sure you it fits in the 7.5 rear end, 28 spline (I believe)
