Default What is next???

I recently bought my step brothers 1997 Mustang GT w/ the following...

Motor: [/align] pi heads cam and intake swap[/align] bbk cold air intake[/align] bbk underdrive pully[/align] bbk headers[/align] bbk x pipe[/align] mac dumps exhaust[/align] [/align] Driveline: [/align] spec 3 clutch[/align] 3.55 rear gears[/align] pro 5.0 shifter with steeda tri ax handle[/align] [/align] Suspension:[/align] [/align] d&d tubular k-member[/align] d&d tubular a-arms[/align] d&d adjustable coil over shocks (front)[/align] eibach sportline springs (rear)[/align] caster camber plates[/align] [/align]



What route should I go next? I was thinking about getting some injectors or a throttle body. Any suggestions?

Injectors wont do you any good you dont need to upgrade those till you hit 300 RWHP. Your prolly only sitting on 255-270 if its a manual and a little less if your an auto. I am PI swapped to w/ full bolt ons. If you dont want to drop alot of money right now you could get a 75mm Throttle body and upper intake plenum. Im doing cams, trickflow intake mani. and spray this fall/winter. But that will be a lil more money then the last few bolt ons you need.

If you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time,gowith whatlivefast1 said. Nitrous might be a possibility too....

It looks like the car is set up handling fairly well. You could also go that route.I'd go with FLSFCs, a good brake set, coil overs and maybe a nice wheel tire set.

I got some 18" Saleen Wheels on it so wheels are good...Some good suggestions from livefast. Though I think I may keep it simple for right now and just go buy a bolt on mod .. a throttle body possibly.

I you buy a throttle body get the upper plenum too. They say you dont get the full benifet if you do one without the other. You may want to get those heads ported and get stage II cams.Dont know if he changed the bottem end when he did the head swap but if not it bumped the compression. Dont know how much boost will be healthy with thehigher compression if a blower is in your future plans
