When i drove it last, it actually hooked up really good.....it was wierd. It was even hard to spin donuts at times, it would just hook up. Even with like 3k dumps.
And i tried to fix my signature, but i maxed it out already.

I guess not, i was all stock except for headers and gears and CAI and pulleys. So i prolly had like 10 HP over stock....
If i dont have traction issues after this HCI swap, i'm gonna be pissed.

So if i get approved for this summit credit card i'm gonna spend 500 right of the bat so i dont haev interest for a year.
What i got in mind is...
1. Nitrous (NOS-05115NOS)
2. Suspension upgrades ( i need ideas there, i want those ponys to stick ) Subframes, upper/lower control arms, shocks/struts/springs
3. 70mm TB, Fuel pump, 24#ers ( all gonna get done anyways ) you'll want a 75mm w/ that intake to match intake inlet, and a matching MAF
4. Rims, my very last choice thogo fast or look good? wait on these
5. Throw some ideas at meNot to sound like your pops but credit cards are very very bad![:@]

Ninety5Five0, go w/ suspension like Blue suggested. You will not regret it b/c you already need it, even w/ a bone stock stang. U/L control arms, XL subframes. Springs, shock/struts will put you over the $500, but you'll need them too.
...and a credit card can be a very good thing. Don't be stupid like I was and neglect your payments. I was young and didn't think it would matter, but now I can't get a good interest rate on a car, if I even get financed. Pay it off on time and don't keep adding to it. Pay your balance down before you put more on it. You will have great credit in no time.

zex is mediocore IMO. they make a good kit for the s197s though. i reccomend NX again, theyre just about the best. one of the biggest benefits is you can send your solenoids in and get them rebuilt for free. they also make the best bottle heater(fire and ice). im very impressed w/ nx in general, great quality, decent prices. NOS is ok too, but then you're also paying for the NAAAWWWWWWS name. no one else rebuilds the solenoids for free either.

RE: What to do with 500 bones ???
I already have good credit, and i dotn wanna ruin that while i'm young. I've only been late on 1 car payment and 1 credit car payment. And i dont plan on letting more be late than that.
I'm definatly gonna do suspension. 500 will be a good start. You think i should change those springs ? They are BBK.
And anyone know of a strut tower brace that will fit with a trickflow street intake ?
