combos and what to expect from it.
Ok I have considered either a dry shot of nitrous about 125 or the nozzle kit. But dont really want something i would have to refill. so have decided to stay away from nitrous. Super chargers and turbos are too much unless you can tell me where i can build a complete kit for $2000. Thats sorta my budget. I want the most bang for my buck other than that so, what do you think. oh reah its a 2003 gt. thinking all the bolt ons besides headers. Gears are a must and am going with 3.73s. I dont want a stricklty drag car so no suspention ideas. just combos and what i can achive wit them. or what you are running that works.

With Hooker headers, x-pipe, Flowmaster cat back, BBK cold air intake, Trickflow upper and lower maniflods..........you can expect hp gains of up to 143rwhp! And with a good set of heads....add another 65-80hp...................Without the heads, you`re lookin at almost $1900.............The heads alone will be about $1200 or more

RE: combos and what to expect from it.
I'm not really knowledgeable enough to argue with you but your hp numbers sound a little high to me. I would think headers, X/P, catback and CAI are going to give you at most 30hp. That would mean that the Trickflow parts you mention would give 110hp?? Plus, aren't these for 5.0 engines, not the 4.6?
As far as heads go, he already has the PI heads so I also don't see 65-80hp from putting on a "good set of heads". If the car was a 96-98, I could see it, but not with a 2003.

RE: combos and what to expect from it.
ok do you guys think a maf is that important of a mod. What size are stock mafs if bigger than 70mm would other benifitt would i get from purchasing one. There is a uper plenium from trick flow and c&l that i have seen, which is better? Should I go with a 70mm throttle bodie or a 75mm throttle body. Keep in mind Im hopping this combo will put me deep in the 13,s. Oh yeah as far as I know the only upgrade to my lower intake is the bullitt intake, wich I couldnt flow enough to take advantage of its high end power advantage. Is this statement correct.

RE: combos and what to expect from it.
Save for the supercharger... The power's always there. If you want to go faster it's just a pully away. You can take it out when you sell it, you won't have to refill it and hell you won't have to worry about every install of 1000 bolt ons... also if you do bolt on's later more power for each one. Save your 2 grand and wait for one more, or put it on a credit card. Trust me if you get it set up right you'll be very pleased.
