Default Couple Questions... (Need Your Opinions!)

Hey everyone, for those who remember me, i havent been active on the forums in like 6 months. But im back! Im finally getting a new job and will be able to afford modding my 92 5.0 again =) !!!! So couple things on my mind about 5.0's... I have gone retarded and need some of your guys opinions and answers.


1. What do you guys think about rear window louvers on a Fox? If anyone has pic's of them on a fox please post them. (Ive never seen them on a fox)

2. What do you guys think the first 5 performance mods should be done to an almost stock fox. (Full exhaust already done)

3. Twin Turbos or Super Charger for low end speeds? 1-100 Which Brand would you go with?

4. Which Rims do you guys like on Fox's? (add year, color, and size that you would personally go with) I was thinkin' black Cobra's R's ...



thanks in advance =P

what do you think of the louvers? u like? then put em on

what kind of first 5 mods ? engine, suspension, etc?

what kind of budget?

and check out the rim websites where you can see what each set of rims look like on the car virtually, then decide what you like.

imo the first thing that should ever be done to your car is rear suspension, and a gear swap. id leave the louvers off if it was my car but if u like them thats up to you, as for other mods, heads/cam/intake is the best money you can spend. i like my supercharger but then again i like the turbo setups as well. as for rims i like the cobra R rims on the foxes

trick flow twisted wedge heads, custom cam, intake of your choice, as for boost, if you wanna do it right, and have the money get a hellion kit ($5,000) its a steep price, but will last you with almost anything you want to do.

suspention, make sure your trannys gonna hold, gears, etc

btw in case it came off that way, i wasnt trying to be a jerk, i was more so stating that when it comes to customizing your cosmetics, do it how you want. for every 5 guys that think its cool there are 5 who wont...and for the power adders i agree 100% with P.S.I.cho . heads/cam/intake ... post some pics along the way too!!
