Default Need some feed back

I have a 2000 mustang GT with a Prochager, 78mm BBK throttle body, and a cat back. I want to get these patrs.
1. Ram Power Grip clutch with throw out bearing and Pilot bearing
2. New COPs weapon X, Accel or MSD Not sure which one is better.
3.Ram Billet fly wheel.
4. new cable and clutch adjuster.
5.New o2s all around
I will be getting the parts form AM so I am limited to the parts they have. Any feed back is greatly appricated.
Also I would like to get BBK shorty headers and Magna Flow catted X pipe. But I am not sure if these are CA legal.

cant answer the headers but i really doubt either are california legal. but at the very LEAST you can do the x pipe and swap out the stock h pipe for inspection purposes then put the X back on.

as far as cops, i would stick with stockers i wanna say i heard bad things about weapon x's.

get a centerforce dual friction clutch with an FRPP pilot and TOB. best clutch ever.

you really only need 2 new front 02 sensors IF you want to replace 02's as some sort of preventative maintenance, especially if you have a handheld tuner cuz you can turn the rear 02 sensors off. the worst thing that would happen if the rear 02 sensors fail, is you get a check engine light for cats not working properly if you don't have them disabled iwth a tuner. will not affect your cars drivability WHAT SO EVER. if that ever happens, then you can spend money on a rear 02 sensor or 2. but honestly its not worth it unless you just have money burning a hole in your pocket right now.

and it may be a good idea especially if you end up doing the headers to get your tune checked (a 50 dollar pull with AFR measurement) since you are boosted.

You can get 50 state legal shorties. I think JBA makes the only ones though(highest bidders to the government....go figure).

MU71L410N, thanks for the heads up on the rear O2s. I will do that money is tight and I want to get her back on the road. AM does not carry the Centerforce clutch. Just the RAM Power grip, Spec and Fidz.To get the centerforce I would have to go to RPM outlet and it is a hit and miss with them. Hoss302 I looked into the JBA they were out of my price range with all the other things I need to buy.

u should really consider the centerforce, i know AM doesnt carry it and i REALLY wish they would (hint hint wink wink if your reading this AM), they are very very nice clutches. even the spec fanboys drool when they try out a centerforce.

you can find a used set of JBA headers, should cut the price down alot. just make a WTB post here, modularfords, svtperformance, check ebay, and whatever other mustang sites you can google.

Ok, things just got worse. Got the new clutch, fly wheel, throw out bearing and pilot bearing in. Now after all that, I don't have third or four. Well I was able to get in third a couple of times not consistanly. Fouth just grinds. Second grinds going a little and first and fifth are fine. Well guess its time for a new tranny. Will a tr3650 fit without having to mod anything. I would love a T56 buts thats not going to happen. Not enough funds. Besides I just bought a clutch for a t45 so anything that will work with that will be fine.
