Need some ideas


We'll I've had my mustang for 5 years and some change now, and its just hit 22k miles. Sad, I know. Well I've been bitten by the mod bug once again. I've run out of ideas for mods, I was thinking maybe going with some longtubes, or maybe some ported heads and intakes. I wish I still had the money to go with a 4.2/4.3

Heres a little video of the car so far. I'm open to appearance mods as well.


Edit: Video still being processed on youtube, should be up soon.

nitrous couldn't hurt either.

I ran nitrous on it from 11-15k, only went through a few bottles but its scary being a broke college student. Was hell fast tho! I've wanted the MGW short throw but I havent felt like upgrading until I feel it in a car. The owner of MGW used to sponsor some mustang forums I read, and he used some of us to test the shifter and I know its a high quality piece.

I'm thinking of doing the heads, going to take a month or so of saving, but it'll be worth it. Maybe I should just grab a nice 4.2 crank while I do the heads. If the engines torn down that far, why not increase the stroke. Theres a few other pieces required, but theyre pretty cheap as most can be taken right off the 4.2.

As for a tune, theres plenty of local dyno shops that do amazing tuners. I think I'm going to take it there and get it tuned, maybe as a christmas present.

Nice car. +1 get an x-cal. It is always good to have even if you do want a dyno tune. Second get some P&P heads and intakes from CRT. BTW that cam sounds great!
