![]() I know most have you have seen this before, but since I'm new have a little pity. What should be the first modifications on a SN-95 302, with a budget of about $2500, N/A w/ AODE.

![]() either 3.73 or 4.10 gears, torque converter from good company, and shift kit. That should be close to $1000 right there. then you can add power to it and be able to use it.

![]() Shift kit, pullies, catback exhaust system with an x-pipe, or h-pipe, will get a good sound, and a little power.

![]() I would recommend some traction bars or may some upper/lower control arms to help get some of that power to the ground...

![]() What brand of intake provides the most power (how much also)? Also are there any ram air kits that have an air by-pass valve that prevents water from entering the intake manifold?

![]() You dont need to swap your intake until you swap heads, and cam also. I would suggest like a bbk cold air kit or just the filter in the air box also.

But a "american thunder" catback is a deep sounding "2 chamber" muffler setup with tailpipes, so that, and say, a bassani x-pipe would be loud, but if your down for all out, cant hear what your soft voiced girlfriend is saying, nor hear the radio exhaust, get offroad h-pipe, and 1chamber flowmasters, your neighbors will hate you. remember, you might need cats for emmissions testing if they do that there.

![]() Loud for an x-pipe combo would be some brand of longtubes, dr.gas x-pipe, dynomax race magnum mufflers. I use bassani equal lengths bassani xpipe and dynomax ultraflo ss catback. It screams when you drop the hammer. Though not obnoxious in the lower rpms.
