RE: New stang, what parts?
Well a god place to start would be looking into a MAF conversion, then maybe a nice HCI setup, with some supporting mods. That willl give you some nice power right there

Yeah do what he said and then if you have enough left over, then open up your exhaust a little bit with a good mid pipe (if your state doesnt care about emissions then go with an offroad pipe), then get some good mufflers and headers. I hear good things about SLP loudmouth mufflers. And maybe get some underdrive pulleys, perferably aluminum so they dont slow down accessory speed.

RE: New stang, what parts?
Heads/Cam/Intake = HCI.. If there are a lot of miles on the engine, you should look into a rebuild first. I bought mine with 140k miles on it. All I pretty much want to do is swap easy bolt ons. Headers, h-pipe, exhaust, intake and what not... easy mods make a good bit of power with these engines.

RE: New stang, what parts?
my bad on the typo, things actually an 89, so I don't have to do the swap.
Which cam, headers, and exhaust would you all suggest?
And on the heads, my dad and I have been planning on porting and polishing the stockers, as that is what he did in his stang, but do you think I should just swap them?

3 grand is a nice little nestegg just for mods. Gears, full exhaust (headers to tailpipe), AFR 165 heads, Trick Flow Stage 2 cam, GT40 or trick flow intake, 24 # injectors, 70MM throttle body, and larger mass air meter. Done, and you will crap your pants when you hit the gas ;-)

ORIGINAL: mattdel
the stock heads, even ported, aren't all that fabulous. if your looking for good power, buy aftermarket. look into AFR.

all right then, that's helpful.
I guess I also want to clarify my goals for the car a bit.
I want to build it to at least be in the low 11's, preferably in the 10's.
No worries about daily drivability, as it will be a weekend/track car only.
