Stall converter, shift kit, tune up (because that car is a mid 14sec), bigger MAF, Offroad mid pipe (H or X), underdrive pulleys, basicly just buy some bolt ons.

NO2 or supercharger :)

Headers,intake,cam and heads will get you there and then some.

No offense but you don't seem to be interested in the way to getting those numbers, as long as you get them am I right? If so, slap a supersharger on there or some NOS. If not, look into a kit from trick flow... it comes with cylinder heads, intake manifold, and a new camshaft. That will give you about 350hp for ~2k i think it is...

i am intrested like i want to know if i should go with off rad h pipe or one with high flow cats or what headers are the best for what i plan on running + new at workin on car and i have 3 g's to spend on fixing up my car so im tring to ask people with experience and see what is a good combo

First, free up as much hp as you can.. Get some shorty headers and catless pipes. I live in cali where there are strict laws on emissions, I just switch out my catless pipes with catted piped every time I smog.. And get yourself a pair of mufflers. (I recomend BBK headers and BBK pipe with flowmasters... more flow than youll ever need) Then open your induction up. Get yourself a cold air kit (I prefer non fenderwell with bigger MAF 76 or 80mm is perfect) and a 70mm throttle body From here stiffen your suspension and chassis up. Just with these mods and a tuneup you should be in the mid to low 14s if not better. These is where the money comes in. A good set of heads intake and cam will set you back about 2k (look used and you save a ton!) With the right combo youve got 300-350hp and are running 13s and if you play your cards right 12s...
You can get all this done for under 3k with ease....

If you've got 3k to spend go with the trick flow kit (didn't know they made one) or the holley systemax, basically the same thing. That will give you plent of power and it will be all engine, then later on if you want more you've got a good base to add forced induction or NO2 if you want. Also throw on some headers and an X-pipe, I just put one on my car and it's great.

Man i have a 89 5.0 (9mm FMS wires,K&N Filter,BBK 1 5/8 Shorties,BBK O/R/H-pipe,American Thunder Cats,373's,shift kit, and we just found out someone grinded on my stock heads b4 i had,nitto drag radials) never ran my car but raced a 13.50 5 spd with the same stuff i have except he has pulleys,trick flow upper and lower he got me by a car! good race i think i can get a 13.90 14.00 not to sure?

94mustang2003 03-16-2004 10:21 PM

RE: help i run too slow
 
thanks now instead of buying the x pipe can i just got factory cat(s) instead or is it just better to get rid of them all together

BlueStang225 03-16-2004 10:23 PM

RE: help i run too slow
 
lol if i had 3g's i would get me a block clean it up and by some nice heads and build me a motor! 12's for sure and then take old one out and as you get money you can clean it up or sell?

BlueStang225 03-16-2004 10:25 PM

RE: help i run too slow
 
i would get the bbk exhaust i went to summit.com and got the bbk 1 5/8 headers and bbk o/r/ h-pipe that is with no cats, and i bought the american thunder catbacks by flowmaster and my car sounds damn good and can breath :) for that set up it is like 650 and they don't charge shipping!

RE: help i run too slow
 
im deabating to fix up on my stock block or droppin a new one in its hard

mustangjohn 03-17-2004 10:26 AM

RE: help i run too slow
 
my suggestion would be to get som flowmasters or bassani exhaust system strap on a supercharger or get some nos, maybe som eunderdrive pulleys,shift kit, get a nice tune up and you could do alot more but that could get a little exspensive, hope i was of some help.

RE: help i run too slow
 
lighten up the car 100 pounds..so pull out all that unwanted ****
pullies
14 degrees timing
3:73 gears
75mm maf
1/2 intake spacer
2.5 exhaust
syth oils
alum driveshaft
put the battery in the trunk
sticky drag radials et streets
lighten wheels
75 NX shot of nitrous
13's easy

BlueStang225 03-17-2004 11:01 PM

RE: help i run too slow
 
lol :) man what the heck ? put battery in trunk? he wants to go faster not traction? it would help if you was tryin to get in the 10's and was running a 11.10. all ya need to do is bbk exhaust, 373's, take the smog pump and stuff off, pullies, (but not altenator pullies), cold air intake, good tune up and wires, and drag radials and if you have a 5spd you in the 13's!
