What cheap bolt-on can I make next?

[Gautam]

Hi,
Ok, here are the specs:
- 1989 5.0L w/ 65K miles
- mild cam (not sure on specs)
- 3.55 gears
- C&L 73mm MAF w/ K&N conical routed to fender well
- Mac cat-back
- 14 degrees initial (gonna get it done this week)

What I want for now:
- N/A doing low 14s (or high 13s)
- Budget $100-$200US

Just bought the following gauges:
Autogage 5" tach w/ external shift-lite and Autogage 3-in-1 gauge set (oil, water, amp)..

I am considering getting a used Pro 5.0 if I can find a good deal, but apart from this, what mod should I make next?

I was thinking of getting a MSD 6AL w/ Blaster 3 coil but not sure what kind of performance gain I will get with this or if its necessary with my mods.

Oh yea, top of my list are UD pulleys but with this I will probablly need a better alternator (130 AMP one)...

Bye!

Can't get around it, underdrive pullies are your best bet for the price range you state.

An aftermarket coil won't do much if anything for your ET and with such low mileage on the original, I wouldn't bother.

A new PRO 5.0 is around $200. and a good investment, so I would still consider it.
Again, not a huge et drop with it, but it could drop a 10th, compared to the factory shifter.

With the '89's low mileage, 3.55 gears and the few mods you now have, low 14's should be easy. Underdrive pullies would have you there for sure and possibly high 13's with the shifter and a good tune-up.
