Okay..here it's. I'm looking to further mod my stang but really don't know which direction to go. Here's my mods currently. This is a 2002 GT 5spd Coupe.
1. FRPP bullitt springs
2. Koni Single Adjustable shocks
3. Koni Single Adjustable Struts
4. Steeda Aluminum Sport Lower Control Arms
5. Saleen 35mm front Sway Bar
6. Mac Cold Air Intake & Filter
7. Mac 70mm Throttle body
8. C&L Intake Plenum
9. 1" Throttle body spacer
10. UPR 1" Intake Plenum Spacer
11. BBK Under Drive Pullies
12. 18X9 & 10 Saleen style wheels with NITTO 555 Extremes 265-35-18s & 285-35-18s
13. Cross drilled & Slotted brake roters.
14. Green Stuff Brake Pads
15. Steeda Triax shifter & Adjustable clutch quadrant/firewall adjuster
16. FRPP 3:73 gears

Misc that doesn't really matter:
17. 2000 Cobra R Style front bumper
18. Cervinis Stalker side skirts
20. 03/04 Cobra rear bumper cover
21. 2000 Cobra R Style spoiler
22. Cobra Fog lights
23. White Face gauges
24. Billett A/C *****, light ****, door lock *****, cup holders, oil cap

I'm considering my next mods to be either:
1. Spec stage 2 clutch or
2. Typhoon or P51 w/ fuel rails intake & 255 lph fuel pump & 30lbs injectors & 85mm MAF with tune or
3. SCT program or
4. an awesome paint job or
5. heads or Cams (Stage 2) or
6. Aluminum drive shaft & flywheel or
Then finally clean it up with either a:
1.Stroker kit (Forged internals) or
2. Twin Turbo or
3. Supercharger (Kenne Bell)
4. Maybe go stroked first then blown

Tell me what you all think and in your own humble opinion which mod would be next. Thanks a bunch.

did I see anywhere that you had gotten it tuned....but ofcourse, Im a big fan of getting blown ...kinda depends on your preference on forced induction, whether you want a constant boost with the supercharger, or a turbo...

i would go with the kenne bell. get a nice tune, and get the stage 2 clutch. or get stroked first, then the same order as i said.

Exactly what he said

Holy crap Lujandj,
Looks like you are heading in the right direction!!! I agree with Yourmom. After those mods, please take it to a tune shop so they can get the most and best horsepower from all your mods. Don't forget about a good clutch kit either double or tripple action. It can increase your shift time and quarter mile time by a few seconds.

Thanks for the quick response fellas. I fogot to mention that I do have a catback not much just a 40 series Flowmaster cat back. I'm just feelin in a little rutt...I seem to have poor throttle response out of 1st...but like you said I could use a good tune right about now, should I do one of those $300 diablo programers or a custom SCT one? I know that I'm lookin at minimum of 5,000 for a good supercharger setup and anywheres from 8-10,000 for a good twin turbo setup. So.....with all that being said would it be cost effective to go with new heads and cams with tune? Am I looking to get around say.....60-80 HP with that? for under 5,000? I'm just trying to strategically spend my monies and get the most bang (horsepower & torqe)out my buck right now. It's taken me 3yrs to get just these mods so I think you understand. Ohh and what's a resonable price to pay for a dyno tune? I can go up to Phoenix and get it done by AMP performance...pretty big Stang shop out in these parts (it's just a 3hr drive from where I live). They had a stang race in PINKS maybe you guys have heard of them.

looks like you need to work on your exhaust set up, go for long tubes, at least get a mid-pipe man!

I've got a pair of ported 2v head assemblies for sale; Stage III Crower Cams, high-lift springs, bronze valve guides.

I also have a 1.7L Intercooled Kenne Bell kit w/ lots of extras (e.g 8-rib belt conversion kit)

I think you should start with the bottom end (stroker) . I have a stroker kit sitting in my living room waiting to be installed . I blew my 2nd stock engine with a vortech v-2 and blew the first on on NOS . Don't I wish I had all that money back . I woldn't recomend pullies if down the line you plan on getting a supercharger because you'll have to change back to stock pullies after the supercharger and pullies really aren't worth the money for the horsepower they give (20 h.p.maybebut I couldn't tell). Smaller pullies+s/c = loss of boost .

lujandj

breagles,
how much power were you making? From my understanding the stock GT should handle up to around 400 ok. I know that if I go supercharged I'll have to lose the UDPs...it was a mod a did a while back. I think I'll go with some long tube headers w/hi flo cats and x-pipe first, then Spec stage 2 clutch w/ aluminum flywheel. Then maybe go new heads & cams (good tune of course) then stroke it and get it blown ( new tune again). Does this sound like a plan to you guys. How much power do you think this type of setup has the potential of making? 500-550? Ohhh and I'll have to atleast upgrade the front brakes too after making this type of power.
