From what I understand buying Throttle bodies for our cars is a waste of money as they do not add jack. Also don't buy the Diablo Predator especially if you are going with cams, buy something like SCT tuner, you will be able to get more tunes especially written for your setup. Predator is good if you want something quick out of the box, but if you want to keep upgrading your car and getting the most out of it, SCT is the way to go.

So toss that TB out and get you a MAC pro chamber (Or whatever you like) to go with the rest of your exhaust. You won't need injectors for what you are running, you really don't need to worry about the fuel system unless you start running FI.

And welcome to the forums!

thanks so much for the help i plan on buying all the parts over time and takeing a day or to and just getting my car done. so is the intake manifold something worth buying? and i can use my stock tb with that? and so everything with the cam will be good also?

im really just looking to get the best hp for not haveing to force induct or tear into my motor to much its still gunna be my everyday

get long tube headers and off road x pipes if you can swing it. (most people say shorty headers don't do jack, the power comes from long tubes and ditching the cats)

TB = NO

cams will hurt your millage.

frpp intake will work with any TB that works with the stock intake (someone can check that please)

underdrive pulleys are usually worth the price but I don't feel much of a difference personally

Some good advise that i heard from someone is to go around forum members signatures and see what mod combinations they did and ask them about them. most people on here enjoy sharing knowledge and talking about their cars. ya know, this being a mustang forum and all

Another good investment would be an oil catch can. Those things are great and if you have roughly $80 to play with, its the best mod you can buy.
