Default Making a sleeper?

My ride is in my signature, only has ~17,700 miles on it. Had 14,853 when I got it Jan. 13. Only non-stock things that came on it were vents above the windows for smokers (I took off), and tint (had to take off half of it for inspection, will replace with 15% all-round and 45% windshield).

Got any cool ideas for making a quick Stang that looks tame? I've been tossing around some ideas in my head...

I bought a direct fit Shaftmasters at a discounted price, and had to buy a set of Saleen U/D pullies becuase they were half off NIB. Both are sitting in the corner till after I can make passes at the strip on the 17th to get some baseline numbers. Brenspeed cai/tune is next on the list...

Keep the exterior as close to stock as possible. UD pullies, exhuast (Keep cats), CAI, won't be too noticable. If you have more money you could do a stage 1 cam and port the heads.

I'm pretty sure Hammeron has the perfect plan for you.

The perfect sleeper is a stock exterior with a an e-force blower from brenspeed under the hood. if you put an o/r h-pipe on the car, i don't think anyone could ever hear the blower whine since the e-force is so quiet. 460 rwhp + no indication of fi = sleeper

I'd perfer to stay NA for quite awhile...

I've heard a good deal about cams, but I never hear anyone talk about stroking?

That's because stroking is $$$ and will only give you roughly 25hp...depending on many factors

25hp is still a nice little bump

dude if you want a sleeper you're going to have to go FI. You would spend the same money and only make 300 ish with bolt ons, or you could spend all that money on FI and be at 450rwhp. SLEEPAA
