Worth about 30hp. Get BBK headers for around 300$ + Flowmaster Cat-back for 270$.

i agree with that for the most part. 3.73s if it is stick, 4.10s if it is AOD. longtubes w/ o/r x-pipe, good cat-back, bigger mass air meter, relocate thek&amp;n into the fenderwell. thatsa pretty good start <IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>

Mustang Warehouse through Ebay has an entire MAC Exhaust system pretty cheap like less than 600 bucks. Mac shortie headers, macs pro chamber, and a mac cat back exhaust system.

Eh pulleys are kind of a waste of time in my opinion, but if you can afford go for it, you'll probabl see a few horses.

One thing to remember, the engine works as a system. Anything you can do to make your engine "breathe" better will get you some nice power. Have fun with your stang.
