IMO i would say start porting from the top down. upper then lower... and so on edit* after the gears t-lok and shift kit that is __________________ K&N CAI, GT Takeoffs w/ Flowmaster super 40's

get the tuner now, get it from trick tunes cause they are amazingly easy to work with and are compitent tuners...

then gears a Traction Lock ... the rest, throttle body, injectors... things like that aren't really worth it unless you are going to go with a power adder... or you do some engine work... might i suggest saving the money that you would spend on that and see if chris torres can hook you up with a set of CNC heads and get a nice cam

However, way down the road I would like to throw in a Super Charger and I heard a UD Pulley hampers the pulley on one....

if you want a s/c then ud pulleys is a bad idea
bigger injectors arent needed unless your force inducted or running a big shot of nitrous on a built motor with a dry shot

65mm throttle body i'd get a ported intake and inlet to match
the 3.73s is a good idea
as well as the t-lok

I got the CAI installed tonight, and that plus my new wires I cant really see a performence change, but I can tell a difference in the overall sound and feel of the engine. Plus hearing that Shwoosing sound from the passenger side while driving sounds bad ass. I think im gonna go with some new gears first. I would get a 8.8 rear from a gt... but none of the junkyards around me have mustangs in 99-04. Atleast none that I have checked. Would it really make that much of a difference between the 8.8 and 7.5 rear end with gears? SlideFox... I do not have a sound clip atm. However im taking some pics of my recent mods and will grab a sound clip from you. I can say that I love the sound. Its not annoying loud, but it is noticeable. The other problem is, that when I get into mods like cams, heads, and so on... I have no idea what I would be doing. What mods to add hp could I do myself? Which would I need to take to a shop? Thanks in advance for the help __________________ 18" Chrome Saleens w/ Nexen Tires O/R H-Pipe w/ Flowmaster 40s Mach1 Grill Delete MSD 8.5mm wires Cold Air Intake 10k HIDs Coming soon!
