LCA's.

TB & Plenum aren't really worth the money to me IMO unless you are FI. I guess every bit helps...but ahh for the money NA it's not worth it.

Honestly my fav mod was the TB and Plenum. I noticed the more difference from those than any other mod. Not necessarily HP, but the throttle response afterwards is amazingly better.

id suggest upper/lower control arm package for $160 and might as well get some subframes $60 from blueoval. that + install you will prob have around $50-$100 left over.

Oh I already have UD pulleys I just couldn't fit them on modlist...also, I don't have the capability to do anything on my own cuz i have no tools right now.(at college)

If i got the TB/plenum I'd probably do it myself cuz i heard it was easy. I think there is a Steeda store 20 minutes away from me, and I want to buy U/LCA's right now, before I have to move home for the summer b/c there's not many mustang specialized shops around my area back home. Any recommendations on what to do? what brand, where to find it, etc?

Dan04Cobra I noticed you said LCA's and not the uppers? any specific reason why? I'm not sure but I heard upper control arms hurt the ride quality and aren't worth it..is that true?

dude i was just at zio's like 20 minutes ago...I'm working at 7 in the morning so I had to head out a little early

What exactly does the timing adjuster do? well I know it adjusts the timing lol but how and when exactly?

advance timing or a few degrees you have to run 93 oct, gives you 10hp according to bbk. heres an artical from mm&ff. they got 6rwhp and 15rw ft/lbs. http://musclemustangfastfords.com/te...5mmff_boltons/
