Fuel system and computerwill work, but I'd suggest getting it tuned afterwards for a few moreponies. Try andget a set of late 01-04 pi heads and all you'll need is a head change kit, a pi intake, and a pi coolant line that goes around the pi intake instead of under the npi intake. If you can get a npi aluminum coolant crossover plate with 2 temp sensor holes swap that one onto you new pi intake so you dont have to drill and tap a new hole. If you can only get a set of 99-mid 01 pi heads you will need new valve covers and a few larger timing case cover studs, and the chain guides will only be held by 2 bolts on the passenger head. (thats no big deal tho)

I got my cams and valve springs from modularmustangracing before I knew about modularpowerhouse. I think it was around $900 shipped to me. I don't know how much a difference they made since I did everything at onceexcept the procharger,but after the swap I was out test driving it and I was on the limiter before I knew it. It definitly pulled up top much better. They also have a nice lope at an 800rpm idle.

Stock limiter is 6000 or6250 I think, Tim set my limiter on 6500 after he tuned it, I wouldn't turn it any higher than that since stock stuff won't make power that high and it won't hold up long.

A stock npi car isn't making any good power after that anyway so you weren't hurting yourself.
