I've been buying parts from jdsperformance.com. I got my PMAS MAF for $159 shipped, but that was before PMAS started setting dealer prices for them. Get the # from their site and give them a call....ask for Dave. He'll help you with what he can.

ebay is a great place for getting deals on parts, too. You just have to keep an eye on the auctions.

well u got gears so with slicks u should be able to hit 13's

on fordmuscle.com they broke a 5 speed into the high 13.9's with just DRs and 3.55's

launch is KEY

well i put new upper and lower intake on my 92 last week and i had never done it before. it took me the better part of a weekend and that was with me running back and forth to oreillys to get gaskets, coolant ect. It might take you awhile if u dont know exactly what it entails. (like myself) but it feels good when its finally done.

Well I wouldn't be doing it alone...I know a few people w/ great mechanical skills...including a grandfather who restores/builds up old hotrods... and I get pretty good traction w/ what I have...I know they're just street tires...but they're Cooper Cobras haha...anyways...I don't think traction will kill me.....I was just wonderin if the intake would help kick some lt1 ***...or if the MAF/TB would be in this limited amount of time
