Default What modifications Next ?

I have an 88 Ford Mustang 5.0.. My motor has 140k miles on it, but I just did some work on it which consisted of:



-long tube headers

-cold air intake

-undrive pulleys

-373 gears

-throttle body

-flowmaster 2-chamber cat back



What should be next upgrades(s)



Advice and reasoning would be appreciated...



Thanks...

lol jeep. i would save your money up for nice set of heads. w/out those there's no use in trying to cram anymore air into the stock ones

I'd go with NOS. It'll give you around an extra 100hp. And i'd also invest in some heads.

IT'S NITROUS MORON.



Besides, the nitrous packs more oxygen and fuel into the combustion chamber. It'll give more gains than the heads, but do both....and dude, you'll be rockin.









I just realized something....everyone that says "do heads" or "do gears" must have a lotta cash to just be tossing that out at everyone. $200 is a lot to me......

And $600 on a nitrous kit isn't a lot of money?

definately heads and later on some bigger injectors so you don't lack fuel.
