Heddman long tube headers , straight pipes (w/ no cats) ,turbo mufflers ,Holley 600 cfm carb , Professional products power plus intake manifold , MSD Pro Billet Distributor , $60plug wires ( can't remember name but best the hotrod place had), bosch platinum II plugsElectric fans , no smog or A/C pumps . </P>

you dont really need the msd distributor and $60 plug wires or for that matter bosch platinum 2 plugs for that engine, should have gotten a cam instead, save money and use the stock distributor and wires you arent running a high demand enigne and stick with some autolite plugs or rapid fires, i havent had much luck with the platinums, car runs better with autolite coppers!

Well I originally bought rapid fires but they didn't fit. The plug threads on my engine are alot longer , so when i went back I had to get the bosch ones. As far as the distributor and plug wires , I got them because at the end of next month I am having a cam and Aluminum gt-40 heads put on. I figured since I need a new distributor anyway I'de buy the best I could. My engine was EFI originally and the stock distributor shot anyway so i had to buy a new one. So it might not be high demand right now but it's about to be. And it won't hurt to have the MSD distributor or good plug wires .

Yeah thats what i was figuring. I wish i could squeeze more out of it. I'll just have to wait until I get the heads before I can get some decent power. I have to find out what the biggest cam I can get in my engine is. it's from an 88 cougar so I can't put a very big cam in it. I just haven't found out which I can put in. I want an E-303 but i don't think I can
