I know what you saying. Like it wore down a bit on when you open the port, the body opens up and rests on the body itself. Haha I just confused myself but I know what you mean like the valve part with the spring wore down a part of the body it rests on when you open it up? Either way, thats sux but is hilarious also lol sorry man

Cold Air Intake, 75mm TB and Plenum
Gears = 3.73 or 4.10s
Decent Suspension
and a 75 shot

These would run you around 1,500 to 2,000 and will get you past a stock 99-04 with no problems.

Or instead of gettin all the bolt ons, u could get a brand new set of Romeo PI heads for like 750 bucks and then get them ported and be a little past the stock 99-04's. But like everyone else has said, it will cost some. I think Ford Racing sells a S/C specifically for the 94-98's although it only adds about 60HP from what I read, and the price is ridiculous, but if u could get a different pulley it would be worth it. IMO, start off with building the block, get the pi heads and not necessarily get them ported now but at least u have them for later. Once u got the dough buy some Hi-Rev cams and then port the heads and have them installed. All together itll pry run around 2700 bucks but you would go from 215 to 270-275, I think, u may have to have the PI intake to get that high also. You may also think with that kinda money I could get a S/C, but like everyone else has posted u run the risk of blowing it completely, unless u keep the boost around 7-9psi, then u would be good. Its ur ride though, so its ur decision.

I think just a little over 1700, so I did get lucky in picking her up. They stopped production in late in 03 cause nobody liked the color, so they came out with Sonic Blue in its place. I personally love it, makes it rare.
