What Next?
 
Well in another couple weeks I will be putting 1-5/8" full length headers on, along with a short h-pipe, and 2.5" american thunder exhaust. I will also be getting 3.55 gears installed and subframe connectors, and a Fenderwall CAI. I was wondering what you guys would do next? My engine has approx 109860 miles on it, and everything is stock still, except for a centerforce dual friction clutch and a K&N filter. Also as soon as it get's warm out I will be doing a complete tune-up and advancing my timing to 13*. I'm not really sure where I should go from there? I was maybe thinking of an S-Trim, or a SysteMax II kit. Although I don't have enough money for it, I'm just trying to plan out. I was also reading in a 5.0 Mag and they tested a SysteMax II kit, saying they would recommend doing it with a low miles engine? I was also thinking of possibly getting an Explorer intake from a junkyard. But again, I'm not completly sure where I should go from there.

U sure u want to put on 3.55's? why not 3.73's?

3.55's would be better for me, because I have a decent sized commute to school and work. I go back and forth to school about 3 times a day, monday - friday.

Man go with 3.73s, i just put mine in and they are incredible. I know that you are looking for economy and i would give you some numbers but i can't stay out of it. I've researched alot on gears and a few people actually say that they have seen better gas miealage? Don't know if it's tru. I know i went from 2.98s to 3.55s in my old Fairlane and never felt a difference JMHO, As far as everything else i'm in the same boat on what to do next. How about a shifter, My pro50 is awesome-Good luck

maybe I will get some 3.73's. Still not sure yet. Already got a Steeda Tri shifter. I've seen the Pro-5.0's, and for myself, they're somewhat to short. Hey, aren't they guarenteed to never miss a 3rd gear shift?
