1 get rid of TB spacer. For 1500 either do a split port swap or get 4.10 gears and t-lok

No need to get rid of it, just hold on to it.

In the last few days there have been alot of topics about this. Just go threw the first 2 pages of topics and get some ideas, then when you have a more specific question, feel free to ask.

if it is one of the smooth ones it is no problem, but if it is one of those wacky helix cut things it will cause the air to be turbulent when coming into the Intake and case a decrease in power and possibly hurt your engine

im thinking for around 2 grandish i can have my performance mods completed... depends on how much headers and new exhaust cost me, as well as gear and t-lok installation

Hell for $1500...do the split port swap and the gears and t-lok. As long as you stay with the 7.5 rear, then the gears and t-lok are pretty cheap. and you can get a split port swap from CRT for $800.

definitely go with the dual port swap. And if you wanted to you could get a windstar upper but you would need a new hood. Well worth the money though IMO. Then gears and t-lok and you're in good shape
