So far it has been my exhaust. L/T's Pro Chamber, and cat-back - all MAC. It really opened her up. Most people would probably say gears but I haven't got those installed yet.

Not trying to be a smarta$$, but an alarm! My car is basically stock-as-a-rock, but living in California and having my last car stolen, the alarm gives me the peace of mind to go ahead with other mods.

I don't really have any mods yet, but I love the sound of my Borla sidepipes. Gears, 01 heads and intake, under drives, and an H-Pipe are on the list but haven't happened yet.

The converter really lit a fire under my car's *** . I noticed more difference from that than from the gears.

THe very last mod I did was a offroad H-pipe. DAMN did it make a difference. ALmost more than the heads even. Maybe I had a clogged cat or something before, but it added like 50-60hp.

If your talking power, then gears are gonna be the biggest difference!!! by far. then the h-pipe, cause you do loose alittle low end when you take out that bottle neck. the gear will compensate for that though
my favorite was the tfs heads and the tfs intake  ------------------ Chris 99 GS-T  |

Converting from speed density to mass air. The computer can finally agree with my 3.73's now. It used to ping like a can o' marbles up top with speed density, and now I can do all the mods I want without having to worry about that OR the 'pooter. I guess MAF was the "gateway" to future mods. Now I'll have a ride worthy to street race this summer.

I would have to say it is my 3:73 gears. I
love my car in 3rd. It feels like it just keeps going and going like the energizer bunny. ------------------ 94 Mustang Cobra: off-road h-pipe, 3:73 gears, motersports underdrive pulleys, MAC cold air induction, MAC 1 1/2 inch lowering springs, K&N Air filter, Maximum Motersports caster/camber plates. Soon my steeda tri-ax shifter. 94 Thunderbird SC: only mod is a K&N air filter. But she runs very well and hard. |

The exhaust system, for sure... the headers, off roads and flowmasters... I just stand behind it when it's idling and LOVE the sound of it!!

Besides heads, I have to say my lower control arms. Huge difference in the way the car preforms both launching and taking a tight turn. Cheap too.
