My turn for some help.
Ok its getting that time again I have to spend money on my car and im anxious!
As of right now I got 1 mod
. BOMZ CAI kit, yes I got the bomz I could not see spending over $100 for an extra 1-4 hp if that. $60 to my door shipped brand new can't beat it (maybe later on down the road if I get more mods ill upgrade the CAI) . Gonna save my money for the better stuff.
Now my future plans is basically full bolt-ons then add Nitrous on top of a full bolt-on car. Kinda like what 03sonicGT did I believe he did the same thing or similar.
When I say full-bolt ons to me that means Gears, CAI, TB/Plenum, Full exhaust including headers, Tuner like a SCT xcal, Underdrive pullies, Timing adjuster, Higher stall converter for trans (Yes I have an auto), I know there is 1 or 2 other mods for auto trans can;t think of it right now, and an Upgraded suspension. Did I miss somthing?
My ultimate goal is to have a low 13's high 12's daily driver (With nitrous of course
).
SO considering all that if I didn't bore you yet what would be a good place to start im thinking gears.. And i am gonna go with 3.90 motive gears or possibly the FRPP 3.73 gears. I have 3.73 in my 73 camaro and they are a good all around street gear. I do some highway traveling so I dont wanna have **** gas mileage and I know they make a big difference from the stock ones.
And please don't tell me to save for a Supercharger. The only supercharger I want is Nitrous and thats what I plan on getting.
Any info or help be much appreciated. Sorry for the long post Im trying to be thorough (spelled that right?)

POSSIBLY maybe doing Cams and Heads if I got the money to do it. But I don't consider those bolt-ons. Also I am waiting for the trickflow and summit intake I am praying they find the holy grail and open up a decent gain in the intake market because the intakes out there now suck (typhoon is horrible and cost like $500 ) basically and they are not worth spending the $$ for IMO.

RE: My turn for some help.
ur doin the same sorta thing i plan on doing...all bolt ons, maybe nitrous...no blower....
It doesnt really add power, but you might wanna start working on your suspension...It might help you launch a little bit quicker. And when I get nitrous, you better believe Im upgrading my brakes too...
like i said, not power-adders really...but just as important...
btw for some reason, typhoons get knocked bad for lotsa reasons....leaks, not fitting properly, no gains etc etc etc....
maybe some of you have had bad experiences or read of a few bad experiences, but personally, I got the typhoon, I have no leaks, i installed it myself and it bolted right in perfectly. I noticed a difference over the stock one, more noticeably over 4000 RPMs.... I'm sure its not as good as the bullitt or P-51, but its also half if not a third of the cost, and it works fine for me....

Yea I have read more negative then positive reviews about the typhoon. I have not experienced it first hand so technically I am speaking out my *** but the majority of people that have had experience with it give it a negative review and thats why I plan on not doing it. Prolly gonna go with a p-51 or bullitt if I can afford it if it comes down to that.
Thanks for the info I am gonna make sure I outfit the suspension when the time comes.

RE: My turn for some help.
the first thing i did to my stang was the exhaust. You definitely need to get exhaust. You won't regret it. But if you're not thinking of spending that much just yet, go with gears or pulleys.

Start saving up for forged internals. At the very least, rods and pistons. Depending on how much you want to shoot that poor stock modular, a forged crank might not be a bad idea either.

RE: My turn for some help.
thats what i plan on doing except i want cams. exhaust w/ LTs will sound great and you WILL notice the extra power, gears a great too so do what u want, my full exhaust was about 1400 installed and gears were about 700 installed w/ the bearing kit and the speed calibrator thing (cant remember the name im [sm=icon_guiness.gif]) so do what u can/ feel like doing eventually ull do the other stuff so i doesnt really matter right?

skip the timing adjuster, the sct adjusts it.

Steve, I had an ebay BOMZ intake for two months. It came apart TWICE. I soon grew tired of sucking unfiltered hot air into my motor and bought the Steeda. I hope your experience is better.
Other than that, after gears go ahead and get subs and CAs. That will help you to get the power you have to the ground. You'll be amazed what gears and a better rear suspension can do.
