0949er - i will have the vortech, obviously. a 75mm TB, SR Plenum, MRT Catted H, and SSS Adrenaline, then the tune. With that, I'm ok calling my performance mods done. I'll do a couple more suspension and braking mods, but not engine mods (not related to power numbers, but I have lowering springs and paired shocks/struts and SFC's as well).

And yeah right, you wish you are done modding. You still gotta add that intercooler.... and then who knows... cams....

haha, man, im sticking to my guns on that one. what do you think ill end with?
i want to upgrade braking and suspension next and then im converting to a black or dark gray interior because im not a fan of camel. also want some racing seats.... like ive said before, im trying to build something complete, not just one aspect and its tough. u gotta have limits.

Nicely done... You made out great for that price! But you did have to spend money twice bc of the intercooler AND the discharge assembly... Should have only picked 1!
It's amazing how somebody can probably just fab up an intake pipe and discharbe pipe and you can save like $500.. Too bad we aren't fabricators
What injectors did you get for $75? 03/04 cobras? Did ya get the harnesses too? That's another 35 bucks

I actually purchased a complete kit for $1,900 and then I just spent a few hundred for the DIY intercooler setup up with the vortech mini race. So all and all I think I had a intercooler V-2 S trim setup for about $2,300.

hes got a intercooler... just hasn't hooked it up.
I dont wana guess numbers, but you will def hit over 350... that's about all I wana say. Not too sure how it will go w/out many other supporting mods.... but I think that T/B will help u more then any other mod you got.... since you can physically push more air in now
what kind of injectors are they?
