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.

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. ------------------ 4.10's,long tubes & 75 shot...Goes 12.50's Check it out at http://www.burnouts.stangnet.com 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).
