Please help me spend money!!!
 

In a couple of weeks I am going to have about $400 to spend on my stang. The problem is, I don't know what to spend it on!! Here's what I have done to my car so far:

- Ordering X-pipe and MAC Flowpath tomorrow
- Steeda Subframes w/cross braces
- race crank pulley
- 3.55 gears
- E303 cam(came with the car)

I am considering getting a TFS Street heat or Cobra intake, but I have read posts that on a stock-headed car, you MIGHT get 10hp. Is this true?? I am also planning on adding nitrous in the future, or should I do it now?? I don't want to waste $400 of hard-earned money on something that is not going to make much of a diffrence.
I have read numerous posts dealing with this subject, but I still can't make up my mind!! If I could afford a set of heads or a blower, my problem would be solved, but I am a poor college student with a mediocre summer job. Please give advice!!

The laughing gas will definately provide the most bang for the buck.

The N2O is your best bet for speed with least cost.

I am always willing to help one spend money. Just send me half of it and I'll help you spend it. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

You would be lucky if you got any more than 7 HP.
Do the nitrous...get a used kit for about $250 and save the rest.
Save for the heads.
My car went 12.50's on a 75 shot and 4.10's.
You have a stick or auto???
If it's an auto save for the tranny rebuild.
You will almost be a 1/4 of the way there.

11's coming soon!!!!
Heads,intake and cam are all here

Nitrous is good, but cylinder heads are permanent. Can't you hold onto your money or is it burning a hole in your pocket? I'd try to save for heads. I too am a poor broke college student, and my mediocre job is Toys "R" Us. However, I've managed to get 4:10 gears, a centerforce clutch, and a used 6# blower. My car hauls butt now! Be patient, cause cylinder heads are the doorway to power( so are superchargers).
