Not the most qualified guy on this message board to answer you're post - but I came to an immediate question before anybody responds. What's your end goal for your stang? Straight-line racing, daily driver, weekend warrior?

do you plan on adding a power adder? nitrous or a supercharger both would benefit from the tb and maf meter it really just depends on what you want out of the car but both work great on a mildly modified car if you want to keep it naturally aspirated go with heads and intake and the tb and maf meter there are 1000's of possible combos you really just need to know what you want to do with the car.

thanks for the info.your ideas get me thinking of what I want the finished product to be.The only thing that stands in the way of modifications is ,my wife likes to be able to drive it,and she thinks all this stuff will take that away.the only good thing about that is I got the ok to start another car which would not be a heavy weight convert.Maybe on my fourth mustang I will finally get it right?anyone know of any drag strips in southern wisconsin?Moving, need a place to race.
