What do you guys think of this kit? I just bought it for a good deal from someone over on mustangforums.com. Will it make decent power or what? Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys. I've been browsing for the past few weeks. Finally decided to post.
Suspension stock right? I wont be able to keep up till prolly sometime next year. I want to work on a good suspension for now.
To then properly lay down some mean numbers
Yeah thats true. Worth the extra, which you really didn't have to pay. Hah. But yeah, I'd upgrade the fuel pumps and injectors for sure. Have you looked into the GT500 pumps? I've heard pretty good things from them. I think I know someone who has one they need to sell if your ineterested I could find out. I personally would go for safer PSI and lower rwhp, but thats me. I haven't heard the best things with stock blocks pushing more then 450 to the wheels of course I could be just cautious.Ya plus it looks badass in the front grill

Ya i think i can upgrade to twins later on....um the nittos are really good on the dry when you heat them up but i still think mickey thompsons are better, but for the rain do NOT drive fast or hit the gas too much or you will be getting sideways

The Mickeys will be much better than the nittos at the track, but are not practical for a DD.

If it were me though, I wouldn't run the Nittos in the rain. Lots of people do it, but I wouldn't. I would just get some stock wheels and have some mickeys mounted on them.
Yeah I'll go check it out for you. I'll help a brother outYa talk him about the pumps because i think they are like $320 brand new. Help a brother out
. Like I said, under 450 is where I'd like to be at. And as it is I have NO idea how you were able to get into this Mustang. Hah, specially since your on your 3rd car in like 3 years haha. One of my cousins offered to get me a whipple and then pay him back slowly to avoid taking a loan out. It was so hard to say no...

Not sure if this has been stated on here yet or if it comes with your kit. but make sure you upgrade you Mass airflow sensor. i have 3 friends that used the STS kit on their F bodies.. made goood power but totally TRASHED their sensors due to not upgrading them from the start
