My 1998 3.8L Mustang-- Info( l l ) ( l l ) I have true duals with no connection ( l l ) soon to get X pipe ( X ) ( l l ) ( l l ) Mac Straight Shot CAI (or is fenderwell worth it, a friend said it's really hard 2 get the the air filter to change it after its in...) Mac Long Tube Headers ASP Underdrive Pulleys ( Are the waterpump underdrive and alternator underdrive pulleys worth ordering with the underdrive puleys?). JET Performance Chip (says it adds 10% more of the hp i already have, which is around 160 since I already put dual exhaust straight out the back with two flowmaster 40s). 4.10 gears (I drive alot of road miles so how much gas mileage diff is it between 3.73 and 4.10--- how much more do u lose having 4.10 than 3.73?). NoS 100 shot (what is the difference between wet and dry!!!!!!!?). Traction Lok Unit (Someone actually told me it'll slow me down more than help me when im racing... true..?) New throttle body (what size is best for me after i have all of this other stuff?). Thanks for the help whoever answers, please make any suggestions if you have any better items that will give me more horses than what I just listed, other than that, how is my setup looking for my 1998 3.8? Thanks again. |

good headers yes the extra pullies are worth it only get alt if you have charging issues though get the x-cal2 it is better and you don't have it permanently on the car you won't lose enough to matter get 4.10 get a 75 not 100 shot and get wet alittle less harsh on engine t-lok will do nothing but help whoever told you it will slow you down you need to smack with a v-tec sticker TB is pointless get a proted and polished one from here www.rpm-mustangs.com

You'll be happy with the underdrive pullies and a tuner. Diablo, Sct, Sniper etc. Traction lok will definitly help you. I went with a 65mm throttlebody when I put my cai on. I have the bbk fenderwell system, All you do is unscrew like 4 bolts to take the air filter out. It can be a pain getting it back in sometimes. I don't know enough about nos to help you there. If you get a good bit of money, you could consider a split port head swap and cam. With your other bolt ons this will make the most power

www.rpm-mustangs.com" ok so I looked on rpm-mustangs (i go there often neways) and i look at the TB and it says "half-shafted"... is there a full shafted one thats better or something... what does half-shafted mean. i know what ported and polished is, well polished neways, and i have a basic idea of ported... but whats half shafted also, thanks for recommending the x-cal2, im going to look in to it right now. thanks alot guys ur really helping me[/quote]
