I am keeping as a daily driver also. Heres teh mods im going to do to it. If you see anything missing please let me know if i will need it . This is also going to be a street raced car.

- LT Headers 1"5/8
- O/R X pipe 2.5"
- 2 Chamber Flows
- Pro 5.0 Shifter
- 3G alternater conversion
- 70mm TB
- port/polish E7's
- 1.7 rockers

- Electric fans/water pump
- Underdrive pullies
- CPU chip

Good list of mods, pretty much a mirror imagine for our project stang. It shows you've done some good research. With underdrive pullies and electric fan - a 3G alt will be required especially if you've got a big stereo.

I would imagine with the cold air kit, bigger TB - you would also need to convert from Speed Density to MassAir.

Long-tube headers - my son and I went that route with MAC. We are still experiencing the headers rubbing the steering linkage on the drivers side. Not sure about BBKs if they do the same or not. If you want the headers to look nice over time - spend the extra $$ and get them ceramic coated.

I would also suggest doing some work to the rear to help with some traction atleast change out the stock bushings in control arms - or look at replacing the uppers and lowers.

Don't use the E cam or you will need to go MAF. Use a Crane 15511 cam and you'll make better power and it will work great with the SD computer.

well if i convert to mass air (guy sold me a conversion for $50) then would i make good power with a E cam. I want a huge street cam and i want to make about 270RWHP. is this correct?

Did you get the wiring harness for $50 or did you get the computer to?

If you do the MAF conversion (I second the question about whether that came with a MAF computer) then the E cam will work fine. I think with the right heads and intake you can make 270 RWHP.
