wow i finally have some money for mods

RAGE_5.0 · 10-24-2001, 06:42 PM

well i have some money for mods and plus it is almost busy season so the money will be rolling in
i was thinking a
65mm edelbrock tb with egr $225
mac 2 1/2 offroad h pipe $110
mac 2 1/2 catback $270
3:73 or 4:10 gears $190
rebuild the trac lock (how much does the kit cost?)

then after those
i will add upper and lower control arms $230
steeda triax shifter $190
a set of welds or pony rims $450-550
nitto drag radials $320

with that stuff i should be in the upper 14's i would think
or for this kind of money do u think i should go for a rebuild and some nitrous?
summit sells a rebuild kit for the 5.0 does anyone know if it is any good?
wut do u guys think would be the best for around 1500 give or take a few hundred
i have a hard time making up my mind on this type of stuff and i want the most performance for the money

the rims weren't included in that figure

Ever think of a 331ci kit? About the same power as a 347 without the ring life problems. Just a thought.

with those mods that should put you in the low 14 second range or if you can hook up and are a good driver high 13 second range.

a stroker would be sweet and i wouldn't mine having 1 down the road but right now i think the small stuff like gears and exhaust would be batter because i would have to use stock heads cam and intake.....i really need an aftermarket exhaust because my car is to quiet and i need to rebuild the trac lock and wouldn't mind adding 3:73 or 4:10 rear
those things are for sure going in anything above that is unknow to me.....i can't just add nitrous because i have 122 000 miles and i think it wqould send the engine up in smoke or else i would add and 80-125 shot

would a 331 would be alright with stock heads cam and intake untilk i could save up enough for the systemax kit from holley?

The heads aren't even big enough for the stock 302. Heads are the 2nd best bang for buck, right after N20. I'd get h/x-pipe, shifter, mufflers, heads, intake.. how much you spending??

RAGE_5.0 · 10-25-2001, 09:13 PM

well around 1500
intake $500
mac h pipe $120
mac catback $280
steeda triax shifter $190
richmond 3:73/4:10 gears $200
_______________________________
total $1290
it is final and it still gives me around 200 dollars left to play with
thx for the advice guys
