Alright everyone...I pretty much know what I want to do for bolt ons just not sure which brands...I plan on getting headers, a cold air kit, and underdrive pulleys...Right now the car is stock except for a Bassani off road h-pipe and dual chamber Flowmasters...One of the questions I was wondering was if I would need shorty or long tube headers...Well thanx for the help ahead of the time everyone.

do 4:10 gears and sct x3 programmer first. cold air and pulleys wont do anything besides look cool. Then I would lower it and put some nice wheels on it
It's got different wheels on it than in the picture...It has a set of 17x8 Bullitt rims...and I have a useless SCT xCalibrator2 tuner that has a tune for a 2002 Mustang GT 5.0 stroker and other related tunes to that motor...Can you send the tuner back too SCT and have em reflash it?
eh... i favor 3.73 gears a little more just cuz i drive freeway alot. get 3.73, xcal3.
long tube headers with shorty midpipe.
if you get a CAI, make sure the intake pipe is not aluminum. aluminum gets too heated, defeating the purpose of the CAI. (i live in texas so its 100+ degrees, might be different for you).
steeda short throw shifter (get one off ebay, it will work fine and is a very easy install.)
no point in having more power if you cant grip the ground... maybe deep dish rears with suspension mods. hope this helps some.
The bolt ons that i could actually feel were the long tubes and mid pipe, gears, and tune. The rest probably helped a little, but i couldn't actually feel a difference.
Oh yeah...i felt the nitrous just a little too!

Woops...I forgot to mention this...My car's an automatic...So would 4.10's help or hurt me...I was reading another post that says 4.10's may not be the best route for an automatic...I drive 60 miles a day back and forth from classes...Tennessee is pretty damn hot around this time of year...As in quite a few 100+ days a month, so yer probly right on not getting an aluminum cai...Next thing would be are there any decent places around the Murfreesboro/Tullahoma/Manchester area that you'd trust to do the gear install...Don't really feel like being under the car for a few hours in this heat myself...I helped a friend of mine change his rear end and it was a *****...Oh yeah I've had quite a few people say to stay away from Delk Performance.
