It took me a while to realise what a dizzy meant too. But it is the distributor. The stock headers, especially on the 87-93 cars are junk. They are very crimped. An aftermarket H-pipe will make the car sound better. However, the stock one flows reasonably well. In fact, the stock Mustang exhaust is one of the best production car exhausts in terms of flow. The Corvette's is better. The World Jr. heads work well and have been around since the early 90's, so they are a proven cylinder head. Hope this helps!

I think it should be your decision. The stock H-pipe will keep you emission's friendly. The dynomax turbos flow nicely, but are not much louder then stock, plus the price sounds reasonable. Also, it will help you to have a nice sleeper tone to your ride. If you really want to save money, then I would keep the stock exhaust. But if you would like a little sound, then the mufflers will add a nice touch.

Def go with the Twisted wedge heads if u can afford them. you can ditch the smog delete bracket all it is is a dummy pulley, you can just get a shorter belt and be done and save yourself $30. and you definitely should get the adjustable fuel pressure regulator you need it to tune ur car.

as for exhaust def get shorty headers equal length. you can keep the stock h-pipe but i would get a new one. i assume ur state requires emissions so get one with 2 high flow cats. and get a cat back of some kind. i kno you are gonna want the sound. check out the sound clip thread.

you are going to want more suspension mods. U/L control arms rnt enough. Springs and shocks/struts (adjustable) and you pretty much NEED sticky tires to get in the 12s. MT ET Street Radials should do

if you can, invest in a REAL ProM MAF www.promracing.com none of the cheap C&L BS

and i would try and find a better intake to match those heads. Try looking for used parts in your area on www.craigslist.org you can get some great deals on good used parts.

hope i helped

I could easily see 270+rwhp. I made 271rwhp and 311rwtq through an automatic(I had Trickflow heads, cam, GT-40 intake + boltons). At the track I ran a 13.17@105(2.0 60ft) and in 95 degree heat. I used the Nitto drags. Oh, I also have stock suspension, but it was lowered 1.5 inches(Eibach springs).

oh and you can also buy a complete gasket kit for cheaper than you will buy them individually. i just ordered one tonight for $125 cuz it had better head gaskets than some of the other ones. that were a little cheaper. and it comes with EVERYTHING except the upper intake gasket which was $11 extra so i got the right one
