Well i am new to this form i am usually on jeepforum.com, but anyways me dad has a 5.0L93 mustang and i was wondering what would be the best thing to get him for his birthday? i am going to spend roughly 150 all together, and i am gonna install it myself.
I have been looking into gettign a cold air intake but there is only like 50 different kinds... or i was reading about the overdrive pulleys, i was thinking about the ones from march?
so guys, and girls? what is the best bang for you buck for a completely stock 5.0?

Thanks
Ted

 

for 150 ide say a k&n cold air setup, and later on a mass air meter, the stock 55mm unit is a serious choking hazard.

 

save FOr gear...4.10 gears in 5-speed and if in auto 4.30 or 4.10...for N/a but for blown apps then id go 3.90's auto and 3.73 for 5-speed..

 

i wouldnt install gears myself unless you know what your doing tho, so alltogether it will be around $300 for the gears including install. underdrive pulleys would be nice

 

yea do maf or mufflers...too

 

What about this kind of intake. i looks like a good idea but also looks like a piece of junk.
also where are a good place to buy the part?
Also is the intake where the cone goes in the fender better? like more airflow?

Thanks...you guys are fast
Ted

 

Ted, does your dad already have any mods?

 

completely stock...i think it may have some proformance mufflers cause it is a little loud but there are no other same cars around me to hear a difference.

gears are the best bang for your buck, but like blue oval said, gears are about $300 to install. any other engine mods wont be noticable until you get different heads. i say just get a short throw shifter for $160. or just a full tune up.
