|  is it worth my while? I have a 1994 Mustang Gt with a 5.0 L HO Engine. I was thinkin of putting new headers, exuast, cams, and pulleys into the car. Would these performance parts be worth my while and does anyone have any recomendations for any brands that i might want to put in that would work good with this type of setup.

| I'd say go with new exhaust- Headers/x-pipe/flowmasters and a set of 3.73 gears. It'll sound tough and be noticibly faster. For the money I'd probably go with BBK shorty headers/BBK x-pipe and Flowmaster 2 chambers/ 2 1-2" tailpipes.

| IMO as for cam, unless u add matched intake and heads, i would not bother full exhaust, gears, and pulleys sound good to me and would not have to be changed with future mods

BBK headers, BBK off-road H-pipe, and your choice of cat-back. I'd also throw in a set of 3.73 gears, 4.10's if you've got a auto. -Josh, aka the tireburner

| Bagh, cams are overrated, I trapped 120.30 on a stock cam  Get a new Intake instead, easier to install IMO

| "Ride: Want one? 5 bucks please  "Lol if you were local I would probably buy a ride or two. I wish I would have stayed with the stock cam. The E cam sucks balls.

|  Go with a long tube 1 1/2 header, off road H pipe, and Quikflows. Race pully at the crank, K & N filter, Also start taking weight off.

| Stay away from the cam on your 1994 unless you want to get a chip to go along with it. The 94/95 computers suck balls, mine was nothing but problems until I bit the bullet and had a chip burned for me. Do the exhaust route for now, but stay away from the cam. Just trust me on this
