Can any Experienced StangBangers help a Beginner???

StangDan · 06-04-2001, 06:13 PM

I'm 18 and I have a 93 GT, but I also have limited cash flow seeing how I am in college. My only mods so far are a AOD to T-5 conversion, MAC cat-back, MSD 6AL and a slu of autometer gauges. My question is, I have about $1,000 to $1,200 bucks this summer and I need to know what to get. I want to get into the mid to high 13's. Can I do this with $1,000-$1,200? What should I get, to get the biggest bang for my buck? Cam? Intake?. I know gears are in order seing how as I still have the factory 2:73's but what else should I get? I figure you experienced stangers can help me. Any input is appreciated, Thanks Guys !

i have a 90 GT with a b303, 70mmTB, 1.7's RR, pullies, CraneFireBall ignition, full exhaust and stock 2.73's
It runs mid 13's
So 1,200 bones will get you there, granted your a good driver.

1st off. Ditch the 2.73's for 3.73's, then get a nice set of long tubes and an offroad h-pipe. If you can try to get an intake and maybe a mild cam. But a CAI and some pulleys and a C&L mass air meter will all help. I understand the budget, just get the gears and headers 1st. They alone should make a huge difference.

Get 3.55s if your on the high way a lot (otherwise 3.73s)(200+200labor), headers (250+do it your own damn self!), gut your H-pipe (broom), intake (300?), mass air/TB (couple hundred). Someone will be able to tell you whether its better to get the intake or MAF/TB.

Remember that someone here will be able to answer ANY question you have.
