If I had 300 to spend on a car with what you have listed. hmmmmmmm? I'd do at least a new throttle body (70mm) and maybe some kind of ignition upgrade. Maybe new high quality, cap, rotor, wires, coil. Or if thats done maybe a good box like a MSD or Mallory 6AL.

you didn't mention a stall convertor or shift kit for the AOD......those are the two things I'd concentrate on for your recent h/c/i upgrade

what about suspension or brakes???? might wanna look into some poly bushings and subframe connectors... maybe even some stainless steel brake lines and good pads... you can go as fast as you want but if the car cannot handle it or stop it whats the point???

ya i would like to do a stall convertor but i don really wanna drop the tranny lol, But i will think about a shift kit, What would you reccomend a transgo stage 2 or something? Ya we just put new pads and Resurfaced rotors on the front and new struts, but i could use some subframes

mjr46

convertor or nothing IMO.

Throttle body but you kinda need a tach too my tach is WAY off at 6200rpm my stock tach reads 5600, that much diff is enough to make things go boom if your up in the rpms

FORD TOUGH

Thats the best idea. Maybe even a deeper finned aluminum pan for the AOD.

what type of stall convertor and how high of a converotr should i get?
